Whoever is poster # 1000 will get $20 from me through PayPal

>should i kms

Yeah probably

Honest answer is "No, probably not." A great many authors published much later in life than you. Just keep to it and eventually you'll get something.

My current plan is to publish serious stories under my actual name and erotic fiction under a pseudonym. I've got a piece out there in a contest and really want to ask everyone i know to vote me up, but i'm pretty sure 4chan would shit all over my rating for asking them.

Yeah, go write and quit whining about it. Damn kids.

If you are that sad and pathetic that the only thing you have to live for is the validation by others then yes, you should kill yourself. Even if you get published you will still be a sack of shit.

Fugg looks old and obscure and potentially expensive.

Also, what is the best annotated version of Ulysses to buy?

Bump thanks bros.

Why not read essays if you're trying to write essays?

writing fiction will definitely help with essays, from personal experience. it's a lot easier to get into the flow of your current thought.

reading alone, I dunno. probably a little

>>8780884
Something a lot of undergrads forget to do is not only to include texts and arguments that support your thesis, but also to bring in an article that refutes your thesis, and respond to that. That will not only help you make page count, but also will make for a stronger essay. Also, don't quote defensively, bring in a quote and then expand on that.
Being a little short shouldn't be a huge issue in college, as long as it's clear the essay is focused and doesn't miss any obvious points of discussion/make a weak argument.

I own dozens of Easton Press & Franklin Library books, and the only way to get them at a decent price is to use eBay and Amazon. Franklin Library is much cheaper in general than Easton, but I think the leather is of slightly lesser quality.

If you don't care about early editions or anything and just want a nice quality leather bound, strand books has several classics in newer additions

>Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling on every part of the dark central plain, on the treeless hills, falling softly on the Bog of Allen and, farther westward, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling, too, upon every part of the lonely churchyard on the hill where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned softly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.

That literally couldn't be more straightforward

Me too. I'm mad that people recommend Beloved first though.

That's cool. I don't like her at all, but everyone has different tastes.

I summarize chapter by chapter, then add my thoughts. Supporting quotes, too, if I'm going all out.

God, the king of all kings, Lord of Lords, became a man and died for all our sins and if we simply trust He did that for us, we're granted eternal life the same second.
