>caring about whether or not you're published

You are what is wrong with art.

>>9390519
>caring about your precious works so that you can spread your art and ideas to people

Yeah you're right, art is only a personal thing. Thanks

>how do i start a political revolution in an industry of private publishers

You could start a magazine of your own or something. If that fails you could do a totalitarian overthrow of the government and strictly enforce anti-pc ethos in all aspects of life.

buy the fedora too!

It won't work. Someone who isn't a writer can't magically buy something arcane and be a writer.

Think about it. You'll spend a few minutes on your typewriter then move to your computer.

I'm not gonna tell you what to think, anon. Define it yourself.

The silly myth that humans are in any way self-sufficient.

A sentient universe that makes wise jokes to no one.

I'm actually going through the same thing

I do the exact same thing. I don't think it's necessarily bad, either. I do it because I want the "real" answer to the question I'm trying to ask, or at least I want to ask the right question, and if I'm aware I'd be better able to do that by reading more shit, I obviously want to read more shit.

I've gotten to grad school with that method, with every single essay I've ever written being a fucking nightmare as a result, and it's just now starting to fuck me royally. I tend to have gigantic ambitions for how much I'm going to read, which obviously aren't realistic. I hit a time constraint, end up frustratedly and half-heartedly doing some fraction of my original, ideal research plan, and push this into what responsibly should have been my writing phase, to eke out as much as possible. Of course, never drafting anything, because it's always a work in progress with the idea itself being constantly reformulated with every new thing I read. Then I end up with five days to write a 30 page paper.

Like I said, I've been doing it forever, and I always manage to at least get a good grade out of sympathy when the professors understand what I was going for. But it's horrifically painful every time, nervous exhaustion levels of panic and misery, and it's almost ruined my life twice now by producing total garbage work for make-or-break papers that could have gotten me thrown out.

The only advice I can give is to circumscribe your ambitious projects by biting off manageable chunks of them. That way you don't feel like you're selling out - you're still doing a real, meaningful "section" of the "real" project that interests you - but you don't have to read the entire Western tradition on aesthetics to do it.

I get the good grade out of sympathy all too often, "really great ideas, but you need to work on your presentation and edit more thoroughly"
Ah well back to work for me ;_;

I just want a short thin Jewish gf with a big ass. And I want to fuck her and cuddle her and marry her and shit. And I want to make enough money writing so I don't have to do anything.
I've been running and dieting for over a month and haven't made the progress I thought I would have. I need to lose like 12 pounds.
I am anxious and frustrated for no reason, maybe because I'm going to do something ultra creepy and ask a girl. She works at a store I go too sometimes and this the only place I'll ever see her.
I don't even care if she says no. This shit just gives me a fucking rush. But it'd be nice if she said yes. It's less to add to the pile when I start going building up steam to land in some ward again.

Here, the pollen fell like rain, warm sun, pleasant breeze, tulips not quite blasted, lilacs and dogwood in perfect, aromatic bloom.. couldn't ask for better Rimbaud weather-- he was in the Springtime of his life when he wrote all his best shit, and I'm sure he looks just fine in Spanish. Cut yourself a break, senpai. It's a holiday, after all.
