OP: is your fantasy saga's secondary title "Book (x) in the chronicles of (y)"?

also, who claims to have written a "mistery" novel if they can't even spell "mystery"?

did you mean "misery"? like Ivan Turgiditi's "Wet Socks"?

>5 novels

>3 novellas

>30 full length short stories

>over 100 poems

I've filled 15 notebooks front to back in the last 3 and a half years. I go through periods of writing rough draft after rough draft in 4-18 hour binges, and then i sort through the slush rewrite and rewrite.

>making fun of somebody for keeping only $1500 in their checking account

That's just responsible, I only keep around $1000 in my checking account at any time in case someone steals my wallet.

I bet you really do believe the author gets 100% of the Amazon price.

Nobody here knows anything about anything.

>>9298226
Of course I know that, ye fuckin dolt
I just didn't go through the process of working out the cuts that Amazon, the publisher, and the authors each get, find out how much of that $288 was shipping and handling, work out the numbers, all so that I can put an accurate price on there and ruin the spirit of the humor

Buy the complete poems used for like 5 bux

I went out to the hazel wood,
Because a fire was in my head,
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
And hooked a berry to a thread;
And when white moths were on the wing,
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
I dropped the berry in a stream
And caught a little silver trout.

When I had laid it on the floor
I went to blow the fire a-flame,
But something rustled on the floor,
And someone called me by my name:
It had become a glimmering girl
With apple blossom in her hair
Who called me by my name and ran
And faded through the brightening air.

Though I am old with wandering
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
I will find out where she has gone,
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
And walk among long dappled grass,
And pluck till time and times are done,
The silver apples of the moon,
The golden apples of the sun.

Thank you, but I meant I want to buy a collection.

Have one in mind? There's a bunch of them.

Hijacking this thread

What does it take to surpass pseudointellectualism and enter the realm of intellectualism?

Besides starting with the Greeks of course

You're becoming the Chad of /lit/. MFA s are for those that have never truly suffered. You might produce a book or two to but they will quickly be forgotten. Nothing you make will stand the test of Time. Call me bitter but I am merely stating the truth. MFA programs are essentially the result of capitalism's arm . Pay enough to get what you want and you'll achieve it (mfas are notorious for being impossible to fail). Scholarships and what not are subsidized from that manner as well. Either way you are simply paying for an identity. This will trigger many but I bet you come from household that makes easily 60,k+ a year. You are what's wrong with literature

>>9298123
> household
> 60k
> this is a high bar for some people

Alright

I wrote a lengthy prose poem earlier with the majority of it (about a page out of the, say, page and a third the poem takes up) being a single sentence. It isn't as tight as I want it, not nearly, but I'm glad I at least was able to shit it out.

I've been formulating the story in my head for months now. It's beginning to come together

On my third revision of a 10k word short story

This guy looks a lot like Uneven Stevens of the Cancer Crew

I finished The Savage Detectives last week and I really enjoyed it. Try that and see how you like it?

>>9298307
His worst book. Murakami tier.

explain

>>9297884
Name 2 things he did that ia genius

>>9297889
the way he thought, his ideas are so...alien I can't even imagine a regular human being could have thought them. Granted a lot of his stuff is just a rehash of neitzsche and Sausure, But what is original is absolutely brilliant, not just in their implications and meaning but also in their presentation. Even the way he presents his ideas its like he LIVES them you know? Like what Walter Pater was talking about.

The sheer implications of his ideas are enough to occupy theorists and critics for like fucking decades. The way he sublimates his worldview hes like an ubermensch.

>mfw don't have impostor syndrome because I don't need to worry about being an impostor since I know I am one

Well, it is stupidity, some may argue that only the priviledged can afford to be truly stupid.

According to a strategy game i played when i was 12 the Hunnish people were atheists, so i doubt it.

proto-fascist consumed by middle class fantasies of agrarian utopia

One of the most interesting and important intellectuals ever. Too bad all of his ideas were wrong.

start with Discourse on the Origin of Inequality

thoughts on his writing, faggot

>>9297768
stop asking vague questions, faggot. Make substantiative threads and you might get substantiative answers.

I'm fifty fifty on him. I loved white noise but pretty much hated underworld. It's his dialogue that makes it or breaks it for me.

>>9297819
What did you hate about Underworld?

why can't I stop looking at this pic

Unsuccessfully wrestling with Heidegger

Had a short creative piece accepted by someone with a doctorate to use in their book on writing speculative fiction. Currently in the process of emailing them and saying that with the amount of words they've omitted, the story looks silly and requires me to edit it.

They insist I only make track changes though, what an ass.

Sewing Chinua Achebe's asshole shut and force-feeding him rationality until he explodes. Figuratively. He's dead.

I hate that dead bastard.
