take it to a novella publisher

silly!

note that DFW referred to 'Little Expressionless Animals' as a novella and it was both published in the literary magazine Paris Review but also in the collection Girl With Curious Hair.

You can try to get it serialized but you most likely won't get it published, especially not in one shot.

I would rework it to be IC with conjunction, DC, DC.

He walked and, as he smiled, looked at the sky.

You need something more than a coordinating conjunction or a comma to join two indep. clauses. By sticking the conjunction before the comma and removing the second pronoun you are left with the single IC and a more syntactically correct sentence.

PLEB

Grammar is such a bummer. I really don't care as long as it works.
Though, focus up if you're writing an essay or something.

so that idiots would never be able to understand it.
In the past hidden knowledge was kept secret by membership to organizations.
Now that knowledge is decentralized and omnipresent it is obfuscated such that only the initiated and worthy can understand it.

I read the version in OP
I enjoyed the heck out of it and laughed a lot but it's honestly just a series of skits and blank spaces in my memory because I have no grasp on who's who in Greek & Roman myth

Translation seemed fine (though I'm no expert) and the poem itself was an enjoyable creation myth of the present day strung together by bouts of screwball comedy. would reccomend (especially if you know shit about the greeks and romans!!)

I thought Hombre was great.

Are his Western novels generally good? I've only read his crime stuff before, but I was really impressed by the short stories The Tonto Woman and Hurrah for Captain Early.

I read one crime fiction book. Overrated trash. Why do Americans try so desperately to try and elevate their pulp trash into art?

"My eyes turn to the board as they once did when I sat in class and dreamed, entering outer space, passing systems of stars in a blink, or imagining regions of the world which awaited their maps to be finally real, or drawing with my mind's eyeline the belovedly rendered buttocks of Miss Mason, over and over, until there was nothing to see there but ocean, nothing but waves."

insanity is a very broad term. most people who deviate from normative patterns of thinking, behavior and/or speech are often considered insane.
writing about insanity without having the personal experience will usually mean that your writing will be marred by stereotypes (as so many works are dealing with people suffering from psychotic breaks).
still, if you want literature on the subject, read:
Memoirs of My Nervous Illness by Daniel Paul Schreber & Knots by R.D. Laing

I want to use a second person perspective. So you are experiencing the behavior of other characters in order to further characterize them. You're right it is a very broad term but I am trying to be as vague as possible in an effort to get as many possible "hits" as I can. Thank you for the titles.

various manifestations of "insanity" are at their core caused by subject/environment interaction so the setting, or rather in your case the non-setting is the backdrop
