How do you guys write?

I usually try and find a quiet seat and get started. I can do about 3-4 fairly good reworked pages per hour.

I'm a believer that men produce the greatest works of art from their loins. All art is an attempt to solicit attention from women and the world, and success as an artist is equivalent in the mind of the artist with sexual success. It is raw sexual desire that produces art. With this in mind, I work myself into a sexual frenzy through edging, and moments before I ejaculate, unable any longer to contain it, I write a few words. Here is what I have so far for my seminal novel.

fuck fuck slutty women eating my fucking cum

What would be the difference, if any, between someone writing a retro-style sci-fi novel in the style of those from the 60's or 70's, versus someone who had read those books from the 60's or 70's and wasn't aware of anything else?

>And wasn't aware of anything else
What does this mean? Does this human exist in a vacuum or are they living now with all our culture and no other books than 60s-70s sci-fi?
>>
the writer who'd read more would be able to bring a richer experience to the novel and be able to expand the genre.
>>
I don't get your question. The main difference would be that one wrote and published a book as a job while the other reads in his spare time.

Is there a way to properly, genuinely transfer from /mu/ to /lit/? I won't shit everything, I promise. I left /mu/ to get away from shit. I'm still into music, and I've always been into books, but now that I'm a little older (i.e. not underage) I feel like I'm ready for some of the harder shit

It's because you're a faggot, it's not as if anything was going to change anyway. Lasting several years should have at least taught you that it's better just to wait. Wait and wait and wait until the clock runs out of batteries, then replace it's batteries and wait some more.

the most insane fucking genius book ever written.

The World Is A Stage! The world is like a giant play, written by and watched by God for His own personal entertainment. Just because there is a scientific explanation for everything, that doesn't mean there is no such thing as God. We are all God's toys, His playthings. God makes us build things, He has a few laughs, He watches us evolve. God is in complete control, but God is in control of people. God cannot make the human race act out of character, but He can create the characters that He needs to steer the human race in certain directions. God speaks to us all, I can teach you to listen to Him and to follow His plan for your life. This is the new religion for the 21st Century.

Consider making a better cover. The picture is fine but the title and the author text are shit.

That seems like an awfully pretentious description for a set of YA fantasy books written by a teenage autist.
>>
>>7707016
Bad. I know it's a total /lit/ thing to talk about how even as kids they hated YA, but even as a kid I couldn't stand it, and I enjoyed everything I read when I was young. It's just not even good for YA.
