I've only read Lost Illusions but I loved it to shreds. I actually went out and found another copy to give to my mom for xmas. What next for me and Balzac?

pick one from any of his popular books

Can any French readers let me know if I'd be missing out on his meaning by reading a translation?

I guess I'm asking if his genius depends on his language. I've always been wary of reading translations for this reason.

wow op that sentence was shittily written, are you just a bad writer or trying to write like some continental homo, which reminds me, was derrida straight? he had swag for an old nigga, but u never see him with any hos

It would help to create a table of contents in the beginning so it's easy to keep hold of the story. If you end up writing a bit and think a different way would be better, change it.

A problem that I had early when I started writing was I was trying to make sure the reader actually got what I wanted to say that I ended up disregarding the story in exchange for the themes and symbolism. I guess my advice would be don't get too focused on what you want the reader to get from your work, just write a good story first and then focus on the themes later.

>>7625585

Don't get too caught up in having a perfect opening sentence/paragraph/chapter to set the "feel" of your work. A good book will do that for itself over its course if you have enough talent, education, and attention to detail. Plus editing.

i thought it could be an epic meme

you purchase the isbn first, (or get them to send you the form which they need you to fill out so your book can be sold which also has a fee) then you get the library code which you put into the title page so your book can be filed in a library, then you design the cover and the layout so that all the pages look nice in a single pdf file of the correct size of the book which you purchased. they send you five for free and then you have to buy the rest based on book size. then they list it on amazon

sorry for the weird way i wrote that, i got high
