Sassy ass gass amasses sassafras. Sassafras assaults sassy asses. Ass assessments assist ass assumptions. Assyrian ass gass assails sassy asses.

I write a lot but hand and type out up later.
Especially things like dialogue or other difficult passages. I don't think you need to write everything, it's probably more a case of different methods working for different people

I keep a pocket journal for exactly this reason. I need to feel attached to the page. Typing feels disconnected. Like my words are passing through a third party before hitting the screen.
Man but it's just a preferential thing I think. Physical writing can be a lot more physically demanding on your wrists and I get tired of writing faster. Plus I'm sure once you become a sufficient enough typist that feeling of being disconnected would probably go away.
Its writing man. Like any art you need to find your own way to express yourself.

Decameron/Canterbury Tales

>>8188606

That was a brutal movie, I really can't handle seeing normal people kill others, bloods fine when you're old enough but it's the thought that normal people just like you somewhere along the line faltered and ended up becoming psychopaths or whatever word you want to use.

Is the black person supposed to be hobbes?

I don't "read". I "awaken myself" to the truths of this pathetic reality by taking in words.

Primarily for enjoyment. Why do people always ask why I read. Nobody asks why I watch movies.

I read with the hope that some author may help me out of this everlasting depression. It still hasn't happened. I fear that the depression may eventually win.

Not op, but if anyone has suggestions for east Asian literature, mythology, or pretty much anything, I'm all ears.

My twisted world by Elliot Rodger.
This book has all the answers.

Moor blood

fascism and rampant corruption have made a lot of people mistrustful of any kind of government

Australia has the highest percentage of people who mistrust the government, yet there are way more Italian anarchists.

it's like 5 fucking pages of baby's first dystopia, just read it.
I like it because I like Bradbury's purposeful naivety. it's cozy and endearing, but don't expect it to tell you anything you don't already know. Like a grampa.

you're definitely a faggot if you drop it.

It was one of the first books, and probably the first significant book, to take on the idea of book censorship as a topic.

>>8188057

Was he claiming to be writing an accurate portrayal of the future in the first place?

i don't think about it too seriously.

after i graduate i'll probably do a cooking apprenticeship for a year then go to graduate school somewhere in the US. i'm not really interested in hoarding a lot of money, i just want a roof and money for books and booze.

Maybe I'll be a mailman or a trucker

>>8187947
I'm still in grad school, doing part time work from home jobs like online TA-ing, proofreading, etc.

To be honest I'd be pretty content doing this for the rest of my life, switching up TA-ing with online adjunctship, probably. I love the comfort of working from home and having no fixed schedule. I still make ~$30k a year and barely work 20 hours a week, so it's definitely livable. It also makes raising children much more feasible, since it's pretty flexible stuff.

Most importantly it means I can live anywhere with an okay internet connection, which opens up a ton of possibilities for what kind of house to buy. I've always wanted land, but that's difficult if you need to live near a city for working.
