When I realized I writing anything longer then eight pages was impossible.

We all have our skill ceilings. Don't despair. Just make sure you are operating at your limits and true to your authentic self. At the very least you will be writing for yourself.

Bazin, Benjamin and Kracauer.

Film Art series by Bordwell Thompson is a good introduction. The Screenwriter's Bible is pretty good for learning the basics of how hollywood style film scripts are made.

Thoughts on this? It used to be considered a great travel novel but now people say it's dated and pretentious.

I found it boring, got halfway through.

Time Traveler's Wife is quite good

>I want to become a patrician before I enter college

nigga, what in the fuck are you thinking?

youll have plenty of time during college to read and do shit all

>>8001491
Thinking about becoming a patrician, dumbass

Nice trips.

I get constipated and procrastinate about writing a lot, being afraid to sit down and try in case nothing comes out. This happens a lot. But then when I get inspired, or just force myself to sit down and write... it's like the keyboard is a piano, energy like melodic water flows down my arms through my hands and fingers and through the keys onto the screen. It's wonderful.

nice numbers

S'pose I'll bump.

I feel frustrated, to be honest. I always have trouble writing action. For example, writing about someone running in the woods as it's happening. When you write in (for lack of a better term) present-tense like that, all action must be implied. You can't just list off everything that the character in question is doing. You have to dance around that. You really have to be clever about it, too. Otherwise, it gets much too repetitive.

Then comes the all-important question: assuming anyone will ever read this, will they care at all whether it's repetitive? Will they even so much as notice the clever methods one has to employ in order to write in this way? Why am I doing this right now, and who am I doing it for? Me, I suppose. But it's only every once in a while that I write something and enjoy it. Even when that happens, a day later I feel embarrassed about what I just wrote. Despite all this, I'm just so compelled towards it, and don't know why.

Kill yourself

that's hardcore i read that

what's wrong with that translation?

"If you thought with logic and reason, you'd be able to see past leftist subjectivism"

>>7995764
Their response is also subjective as well. It leads in circles endlessly, their interpretation of what has been said is also subjective. So if we want to base everything on subjectivity nothing can be understood, so nothing can be known, and therefore any conversation is pointless.
Also, even though it is subjective, it's a product of your experience, which is objectively a real thing which has happened.

>>7995764
The argument is self-defeating. For the position that 'everything is subjective' would itself be subjective, and we could then reject it.

The suddenly meandering chinaman-swedes-jesuits plot was the only point at which the book ever felt long.

Does it feel like the passages happening indoors are less crazy? Well the duck is everywhere and that tub was just par for the course, but I guess not...

>The suddenly meandering chinaman-swedes-jesuits plot was the only point at which the book ever felt long.

I agree. Even though the episode when he disguises as the Spanish jesuit he wanted to get rid of and then he starts believing he's the jesuit himself was hilarious.

That cover is shit tho

They're in NYC

they're at home reading and shitposting

>>8002218
This. It's the well-read, verbose intellectuals that are the most forceful of ironic memes and shitposting.

I still use their recommendations at the library for my kids

>>8002170
Librarian here, it's a solid list. You also can't go wrong with picking off the Caldecott and Newberry winners.

I introduce him to Top Wo Nerae! also known as Gunbuster, an anime series that preceded Hideaki Anno's Neon Genesis Evangelion and had a red-headed character in it called Jung Freud.

I think he'll enjoy it.

I assert a self-actualization theory of neuroses by saying that he clearly did this because he has repressed self-actualization urges. I then explain to him how he can sublimate his urges by actualizing his mother and typifying his father.
