"During the day you will approach the frog several times and will utter words of worship... And you will ask it to work the miracles you wish... Meanwhile you will cut a cross on which to sacrifice it."

Maybe start with something on how to write in English

>>9924957
I'm working on that

Most fantasy and thrillers and so on are intended to be primarily entertainment, and so are unlikely to affect you in any deep, significant way unless they just happen to have some element that speaks to you personally.

There are exceptions, though.

Ursula Le Guin, Cormac McCarthy, and Philip K. Dick all write (wrote in Dick's case) "genre fiction" with a more literary bent.

you got what u deserved

You still have what you've learned by writing it. Go back and write the things you remember. They'll be better anyway.

Here's a crazy, mysteriously Egyptian idea I'm just going to throw out here:
Paper.

Thanks

Good to see something worked out well for once.

With his first, like you would any writer

Say you're jacking off to a can of minted peas. Over the course of a couple of weeks, try and jack off the same amount, but gradually cut back to half a can of minted peas. then 1/4, 1/8th and so forth. Over the course of 2 months you should be jacking off to almost nothing at all, and the transition to asexuality will be complete. It's not easy, but I hope this helps :)

Satantango or the melancholy of resistance

I also really liked war and war, but its different

Read it and see how best to imitate it.

>>9924596
You can't imitate inventiveness. The way you write it, sure, but not the charisma in the phrases.

William Gaddis is the master in chief I shit you not. 10/10 dialogue. He makes nearly everything else read like bearotica self-published fan fiction.

>>9924461
Why don't you tell us

>>9924461
No one cares.

>>9924461
That it reads like it was written by someone from 4chan. There were too many strawmen arguments, and all in all it didn't live up to the hype.

What makes you think this is even remotely noteworthy?

It isn't. That's why I posted it on /lit/.

I would say the poetic persona can't be seperate from the art.

>>9924404
Agreed - the process of mythmaking, and of the author fictionalizing themselves was as true of wilde and whitman, as it is of byron - as when whitman had a fake butterfly affixed to his finger in this photo

>>9924252
If you like Faulkner, sure. If you haven't read any Faulkner then just read The Sound and the Fury instead.

>>9924263
I thought it was "better" than Sound and the Fury

>>9924263
Read As I Lay Dying first for sure. Great intro to Faulkner.
