/lit/, I want to write a book about my thoughts about life and outlooks on the most important things in life, but I feel like I'm far too young for anyone to ever take me seriously to read it, and I feel like I wouldn't even be able to publish it in the first place. Am I right about that? Are my dreams impossible until I'm at a "wiser" age?
>>
No, they're not impossible because you're young, they're impossible because you probably have nothing to say that hasn't already been said by better writers 150 years ago.

Why would someone take you seriously, hypothetically? What do you bring to the table that I can't get anywhere else?

Everyone's view of life is unique and personal, and I'm not saying that that makes my view relevant, but I do think that my views are at least interesting enough for a few people to want to read about. I don't expect to become famous or change lives, but I'm sure my opinions could resonate positively with at least a decent amount of people.

Just write and read more, dont get caught up on the sophisticated meme. Least of all dont take yourself too seriously.

Some of the most profound messages in fiction can be found in children's books.

Hop on this, as it's the only worth of the thread. The first post is almost as fucking retarded as the OP.

It's not so much an issue of a few people but of convincing an agent and publishing house to pick you up. Many, many books sell sub-1000 copies, so why would a publishing house invest in you specifically if you have little to offer?

If you forgo the publishing route and self-publish or just start a blog, feel free. Are you fine with "some people," or do you believe your ideas should reach the greater masses?
>>
the most effective way of reaching greater masses is through existing archaicy within the institution, namely: end prohibition.

I mean obviously it would be fantastic if thousands of people could read it, but I know that's way too much to ask for. Honestly any amount of people would be nice

Start by posting in the critique thread at least a few people will see it
