>He writes in first person How the fuck do people write in

>>8512986
I write in "I" but it's dishonest as fuck

hows that sound

Don't write about yourself.

>>8512986
stop caring what reddit thinks.

But isn't respectable literature all about what you and you alone are and think and how you think about things?

>>8513019
I don't care what reddit thinks, I care what my friends, family and other fellow people think

>But isn't respectable literature all about what you and you alone are and think and how you think about things?
of course it is man, I was just being dishonest

first person is good for narrow-scope stories

>>8513328
Yes, but how do people write something like that, completely reveal themselves even for a few pages?
I at least need to have "him" to put at fault, since I have zero clue how people fabricate their text, even if writing of fictitious characters

Uh, what? If the "I" in a story isn't me, why would I give a fuck? They're not even a friend, they simply don't exist. It's just a word.

>>8514660
But how the "I" not be the writer? How could writers write something that isn't them, 100% them? Saying "it's a fictitious character" is just very poor lying since that fictitious character is you and you cannot escape that, no matter how different you would show it

nigga do you even know about postmodern literature
