>Listening to my mother, grandmother and aunt discussing banalities of interior decorating in between doting on the dying man sickened me. I retreated into my book to bear it, ironically finishing the Antichrist as a priest came into the room. I never want to be in that position. I recall writing that I want to live to 100 at the start of this document. This comes with one exception: If I am inhibited to the point where my becoming becomes mere being I will end my life without an ounce of remorse or sadness. Life is worth paying any cost, but mere existence is not worth the price some pay for it. I wonder what kind of suicide note I’d leave on this occasion, that of a joyous separation from existence. Not worth pondering as a young and able man.

"I am an asshole, I constantly judge and critique people. I say mean things about people I don't know for a laugh. I judge others harshly and critically, yet I dislike most of my own traits. I am self-loathing, depressed, apathetic, and yet I think I am better than those around me.

I have nothing to back this inflated sense of superiority, it is just easy to regard those around me as worse than myself. I am in constant rumination and self-reflection about my identity and what I am doing with my life, yet I can never seem to get anywhere.

I want to make changes and improvements but I never follow through, comfort is king in my life it seems. I don't know if I suffer from an actual acute depression or I am just being a pussy. I have anxiety about my future constantly, yet I do nothing, which leads me to more anxiety and depression. It seems to be a vicious cycle of self-defeat that I can never seem to break.

I wish I could overcome myself.

It's not if you have to ask.

oui.

>is a literature book literary?

There are some authors who make quite a bit of money self publishing garbage.

>>8841844
if you have a fan-base, yes, but your books need to sell. I think it's 1.25 per copy sold if you go through a publisher (average), but if you sell it online it's all yours, etc.

selling you're writing is fairly similar to other mediums of product, like selling produce on the side of the road. if people like it, it will sell.

No self publisher has lived off their writing without getting picked up by a real publisher

Go great with black tea

I think you like to start your morning with a large dose of outrage.

>dude my ex boyfriends were shit lmfao

He entered by the WINDOW
And left the wife a WIDOW,

The cops did enter by the DOOR,
But of the rest they thought no MORE.

Lord Henry sitting was in his old CHAIR,
And then a soundly noise did move the AIR,

The murderer had brought a LADDER,
By which he climbed without a STAGGER,

And with his knife, did cut the window OPE,
And took his life, and so the widow's HOPE.

Murder mysteries are the least talked about of genres OTB

The ones at the bookstore that I frequent, smirk at my books every time I ring up.

Kinda like pic related; sorry for the cancer.

only at the crazy ass independent patchouli bookstore where half the reason it exists is because lunatics, drug addicts, and political dissidents use it as a social venue

at the big chain store sometimes i'll say "i need a bag" and the garish hipster cunt at the counter will give me one

>>8841794

Self-publish when you make a name for yourself.

>>8841772
>My thing is can't I make more $$ self publishing if its good?
No.

>>8841887
70% royalty if you self publish
10% if you don't

I assume you've read Joe Abercrombies stuff?

>>8841766
I know it isn't Epic Fantasy but Dune and Hyperion that are both fantastic books and are Science-Fantasy, so it is almost close.

The best in the genre is The Book of the New Sun.
You should probably read a couple Borges stories first, like the garden of forking paths and Funes the memorious (don't worry, they're really short, it should take you half an hour at most)

They're both shit desu

Aquinas was a brilliant mind. Eternal pity that he had to mold his philosophy to the dogmas of the church.

What am I missing from not reading Aztec? I'm interested in it but I have no idea what it even compares to.

>>8841576
Nostril is hilarious. Poor Marco Polo's underage ass... Raptor is also also awesome: the sexy adventures of a hermaphrodite named Thorn in a post-Roman Europe. post-Roman world.
