You're supposed to enjoy it. If you're just forcing it then the classics aren't for you. Back to Harry Potter!

Have any of you read pic related or her novel, Eileen? I'm about halfway through the collection and so far it's pretty good. What are some other contemporary authors that give you some hope for the future of literature?

Can we have a Conan thread without being told to go to the general? I fucking love Conan. I think Robert E. Howard is the king of the pulp writers, and his stories are genuinely well-written.

Anyone here has any tips or indications?
I really need to get someone working with me by tomorrow. I do not trust my own writing enough to submit it to publishing agents.

Hey /lit/.
I wanted to ask you, what you think is the best book on how to write a short story.
I have a few ideas in my head but it feels like I lack structure to put it in a story.
What is in your opinion the book that taught you the most about writing short stories.
