I tried searching Adlibris for 'Sicario is fucking shit' but it gave back nothing.

Any reading, even articles in the Internet, on how it came to that? I've read, like I said, Dark Alliance and it was fascinating yet it is curiously not talked much when people talk about drug war and trade.

But it is Lord Of The Fucking Rings...

>>7498038
Let me explain why I don't think so. Star Wars is a lot more focused on individual struggles between good and evil whereas LoTR is a much more clear physical struggle between good and evil characters. Lord of the Rings has a static plot (the quest to defeat Sauron) whereas Star Wars has a set of conflicts which exist ad-infinitum between the dark side and the light side. Philosophically they are miles apart.

In Star Wars the protagonists are the elite warriors, but in the LoTR it's the hobbits.

"brown study" but that often has melancholy connotations

or you could say someone is "miles away" or variations thereof: "sorry, i was a hundred miles away, could you repeat that?"

You must read and write to get a good prose. Books of this kind are rarely useful and often reflect the author's own aesthetic rather a true, sincere style. In this case, since Stephen King is a terrible writer, I wouldn't even give it a try.

New readers often read an author for the first time with a unique style, then they go on to try and emulate it.

Before you ever think about developing a style, consider your own voice.

What are you trying to say?

Any average writer can copy some famous literary style and engage a reader.
.

Style is vastly overrated and always develops naturally. What is most important is finding your voice.

Example: When you start talking to someone, do you have a clear goal in mind?

>You're taking a shit and there's no toilet paper
>You get up, pinch your cheeks, hop to the door, crack it open, and shout to your gf "Get me some toilet paper!"

Whatever you say in that moment is your voice. It has a finality to it, a certainty and sureness and clarity. It rings true because it has to.

It won't matter if you shout the most lyrical or compelling words to her, if they don't convey your voice and meaning you're never getting that toilet paper.


Or if you have a sadistic bitch for a girlfriend, she will come and stick her finger deep inside your crack then wipe it on your face. In which case you should've structured and planned your shit ahead of time instead of relying on only your voice and the kindness of others.

>reading a classic of their language

this and then writing until you get all the shitty writing out of your system. it might take a while.

Well, this is a fine way to show Tommy love. Now he'll never post here again.

>nah man you dont understand he just wrote the rest of the book for a laugh the only bits that matter are these 3 sentences about badgers and ancient postal systems

>>7496719
I asked him about that but he wouldn't give me a straight answer.

Fuck off back there faggot

Normies don't spend enough time communicating via the written word to have developed the ability to read or encode tone into it as subtly as the way you or I may do. The result is that charicature of tone through overuse of capital letters, emoticons, acronyms and punctuation marks.

>translation

>tfw you willfully choose the version not read by all of the best writers of the 20th century

There's no saving you from that hell. Consign yourself to mediocrity.

I bet you think the Beatles and Foo FIghters are good because they sell a lot of records

Female PKK fighters probably understand it better than men who have never fought in a war.

It doesn't have "the" in the title, and it doesn't match the quality of these works.
