Haven't read >>8821655 yet

>>8821551
You can't become a contemporary author if you refuse to engage with contemporary literature.

>>8821595
So you're saying I could become a past author? Sweet. I'll just publish Lord of The Rings before Tolkein does and live off the profits.

That;s how I read most of Finnegans Wake

I've noticed that when I read out loud I tend to focus more on a pronunciation than the actual meaning of a text

>he thinks rules of grammar are set in stone

>>8821440
That's not even a simple grammar mistake, it's using the wrong word because you're too retarded to remember that they have different meanings

>you messed up "there" and "their"

Next big question: Who's our gal?

No my suffering is way worse than someone else's.

>>8821355
does that mean its less profound or more profound

No, psychological suffering isnt relieved by the same means as physical suffering. It also varies on how it affects someones life. You could argue that it cant be measured precisely however one can distinguish different levels or gradients on how much you feel like shit

He was trying to keep scholars on their toes.

English spelling at the time was very fluid. There was no correct spelling because there was no common consensus.

****Undisputed Dostoevsky reading list****

Notes from Underground -> The Double -> Demons -> Crime and Punishment -> The Gambler -> The Brothers Karamazov -> The Idiot -> The Eternal Husband

>>8820872
what have you tried thus far anon?

have you tried making the character a psychopath?

Find the letter "a" on your keyboard. Press it, then press the spacebar. Then do the same for the letters p, s, y, c, h, o, p (again), a, t and h, in that order (IMPORTANT). If you do this correctly you'll have successfully written a psychopath.
