World building to the extreme.
Write works by authors in the world.
Eventually make a fantasy writer in your fantasy world.
Understand that creating your own context ist the hardest hing about fantasy.
Understand the prose bar is set relatively low, but you should go at least for prose on par with a fantasy writer like Brian Catling (which won't be easy)

I want to make literary fantasy, but it's harder than regular lit just like making a cake from scratch is harder than using a box.

by making something that isn't shit

>Is there, a milestone for vital knowledge around this age?
55 year old intellectual and mature individual reporting in. I've seen the world, talked to all people, races, and sexualities, have spent time in vastly different communities with vastly different belief systems and seen nations, empires, and local communities prosper, fall, and re-emerge.

What you need is pic related. It will put you on the right path.

>when was the last time you read a non-white degenerate

Take a guess I'm redpilled

On July I read The Sound of Waves. Literally a romantic slice of life anime, but that's exactly what I liked about it.

I read the Temple of the Golden Pavilion and Confessions of a Mask earlier this year. I have a few more of his books that are in my backlog that I want to get to.

Use Calibre because it will give you page numbers, easy convertion from epub to mobi, ebook transfer via email and other things

Your notes get stored on a .txt file that you can export to other services, like Evernote

>Is calibre the recommended e-pub management software?
yes

>How do you organize files on a kindle?
i don't get this question, they books just appear in the menus as if they were smartphone apps

>Would I be able to convert my notes and outlines and such properly to the e-pub format to review them?
you can on a kindle but I dunno on the calibre reader

>What are your general tips and tricks to using an e-reader effectively?
these things are fragile, don't slam them on the ground as they are not as resistant as a cellphone

you can probably jailbreak your kindle if you want to get more out of the base os

ereaders aren't hard to use, i suggest you to just start using your kindle to find out

"philosophy as a whole"

you're already down the wrong path sonny, pick a general area and learn about that first, then move on

>>8761023
if you just mean the price of the book which is often £/€/$ 0.01 for ordinary secondhand paperbacks, no probably not
once you factor in the postage, then yes, look in your local charity shops

I work in home care to wash demented folks.
Always steal a few books, they wouldn't know and if they did, they would forget.

Thriftbooks.com usually gets free shipping if your order is over 10 or 15.ost books alone are like 2-5 bucks
