Is Gaddis a meme?

I've got a feeling that this book is just a boring meme. JR sounds pretty good but i'll pass on this one family.
What the fuck /lit/ how do I stop writing such shitty dialogue? Any rules or suggestions? Here's the shit I made so far between two girls in the olden days
"Ava you look bright this morning, did you get a good nights sleep?"
"Oh, you jest. If anything you look better yourself"
"But you look so much better, You seem more alive"
As much as she wanted this useless conversation to end Ava didn't Falter in evading most everything she said in the brightest manner she could cope until Mary began speaking, "You know, me and my parents said it was alright if you could come to my house, and we could play chess or something."
"I would love to but unfortunately I
have to work in the house this evening and as much as I love chess I don't think I could indulge in walking a single other step than into my own bed."
"Oh, sorry to hear that, but please don't be scared to come to my house whoever you can!" She called out when Ava finally began walking the opposite direction, twisting the edges of her face into a frown and glaring at her husband who noticed Ava and shrunk back into the house like a frightened rat

Talk to people. Start random conversations with friends, acquaintances, strangers. Read. No other ways really. Maybe do what my 16 year old sister used to do, make lists of talking points for specific people.

I'm new to /lit/ and was wondering if it was a good place to discuss my own writing and ideas.
I used to be in a Discord writing group but it turned into a carnival of drama and nothing ever got done. So I was wanted to know if /lit/ is the place to talk about your own writing and if not, what good sites are there to do so?

I'm terrified of letting people pick apart my writing. Also any writing forums invariably get taken over by egomaniacs looking for others to fuel their egos and tearing down anyone who even slightly disagrees with them.
Make a few close friends that share the hobby and stay away from the online cesspits.
>>
>>8346593
I tried to have that. It's what the mentioned Discord group was at first. Then friends invited friends that invited friends and it turned into exactly that, a nest of egomaniacs.
I don't take criticism personally and that's why I wish to find some sort of community. My closest friends are not really into writing, let alone discussing mine.

>On the Freedom of the Will
>"Everything is determinism."
>"The strongest motive always wins."
>"Your character is unalterable."
How does Schopie's Saint arise if everything is determined? In World as Will he speaks of the Saint as someone who conquers the world by suffering, but does that mean the Saint is always already unmotivated? Given that the motive always leans towards the most satisfying object, one would think the Saint triumphs by feeling the pull of satisfaction without acting upon it. But according to Schopie's ideas about innate character, it seems that the Saint doesn't have to undergo any struggle: he just is unmotivated and doesn't care about satisfaction. Does the Saint really not "earn" Sainthood?

Where all the Schopenhauerians at?

>>8346560
Just because the process of becoming what you are is predetermined doesn't mean you can't explain or narrate how it happens.
Randy Moss was predestined to play football in the NFL but the story of his life and training is still worth telling.
>>
>>8346680
My point is that Schopenhauer speaks about the Saint as if he's someone who has broken out of satisfaction (which seems to be the same thing as breaking free from motivation) and uses its opposites, pain and denial, to exit the principium individuationis.
If character is that which motivations are dependent on, and the Saint seems to have starved off all motivation...does this mean the Saint has no character? Is he beyond a character?

I am buying this tomorrow. What else should I get by Bulgakov?

The Master and Margarita is the obvious one.
In addition to Harvill, and some of the more obvious series of translated classics, there are also several recent versions of lesser known Bulgakov works from UK independent Alma Classics: http://www.almaclassics.com/booksearch-author-164.html
>>
Heart of a Dog and The Fatal Eggs are fun, short reads. Not great but worth reading if you enjoy him.

Which will help you get that big contract that will make you the next J. K. Rowlings, /lit/?
There is this one publishing house that I like but I'm insecure that they'll be able to make a hit.
I believe I have a good manuscript. Should I send unsolicited queries to every publisher possible or should I snatch a publishing agent hoping she'll help me earn that big contract?

I've accepted that my fiction sucks and that I'm never going to be a big star writer. But I have a day job and I enjoy writing so I just consider myself an eternal amateur.
Don't have delusions of grandeur and focus on making good fiction, not picking out the mansion you'll live in before you actually get paid to write.

I think you answered your own question. Read simple books (google is your friend, friend) and use Khan Academy.
