If waking up at 3pm every day without regret were an art, then Jasper Holiday was a first rate forger at the height of his career with hundreds of beautifully rendered classics of sleep, wasting no stroke, whether he was painting the day away by reading comics or jerking it to his non-existent younger sister. It all started with the best and worst day of his life. The day that would set the canvas for his way of being. 6th grade march 15 1985, the day of his 13th birthday in which he lost his virginity to Erika, the prettiest girl in the class, it was also pizza day at lunch, but alas the pizza was gone once J. got to the line and all that was left was day old lasagna. Ok he said to the lunch lady while avoiding eye contact, he'd never bothered to learn her name or any of her kitchen mates, they were just there serving up gunk until Pizza Thursdays. After handing out the 75¢ and slipping away he stood at the edge of the tables and scanned the dank hall, with hanging fans and all, it's wide windows near the roof couldn't do enough to make the vacuous carapace feel less like an old hospital ward. Crap he thought, Blocky and Mike have second lunch, I'll have to sit alone again. Walking by the running and laughing kids was a memory that would always paint it self in Jasper's head, especially in institutionalized facilities, wards and cafeterias, auditoriums and theaters, they all had a sense of utility that he wasn't used to, everything too clean, too organized, it would be much better to spread some color around, bring in a few couches instead of benches.
>>
>>8984556
The beef in the lasagna had a sour taste, he closed his eyes and told himself he'd be early next time, screw Erika, she would find someone else to hold her books while she walked down the stairs. There wasn't much he remembered about Erika except her voice and looks, looking back at her now from time to time whenever he thought of girls past, he would congratulate himself but banging her, his first crush, but would immediately feel inadequate for the horrendous city moving, school changing memory delegated to that fateful day. The lasagna rumbled, his stomach made noises and pirouettes as he walked up the old ceramic tiled stairs, the pain started and the sweet smell of piss and weed from the 8th grade side of the school he used as a shortcut made a lump in his throat, the stairwell started to spin, he would throw up and everyone that was there racing to class would look down at his convulsing body shooting out yellow slime on the floor, but he held and on a merciful cue the last of the drilling footsteps crossed the door and banged it shut sucking the air chunks from his stomach. The pain was unbearable, he closed his eyes tight and heaved again over the railing onto the janitor closet below him. Shit why why why he managed to blurt out with a thread of spit before his stomach gave a final twist and shot out the last of the rotten mess. This was not however what made this day the worst and the best of his life.

a butter plum sat gregariously on the wood grain stove awaiting to be plucked like the fruit of stars and tree horns in the forrest of evermore, dropped into a bucket of sauted stew. Nathanial Pettonspre was just exiting the shower when he heard a shout coming from the white kitchen, and at first he thought it might have been his garlic water simmering over the pan, the steamy liquid hitting the metal like a tea kettle squeal, as he prepared his meal before he entered the shower, and it was almost all he could think about, between operatic belting groans, quarter edging cock cleaning, and the soothing drifting thoughts of dark blue sky going on for miles with the cloud colors, the open expanses of barbarian armies trolloping on psycho horse, with the hot water god love blanketing his back and head; it was his roommate Delilah. "NATHANNN!!, what the fuckk dude... what the fuck did I tell you about leaving the stove on while your not in the room, especially if you're taking a shower. Fucking, retarded man, you lazy fucking cunt, I just spent all last weekend scrubbing that place clean, and you just spray and stain wherever you please, mr fucking fantastic, clean".

"Why did I do this?"
He sat in the small dinghy for endless hours, rocking back and forth on the sea. The sky grew clouded, more rain was to fall. There wasn't enough wind to get to his destination in good time. Nobody. Nobody in 2 months. The boat glided slowly in the the general direction of a woman he wasn't sure he loved anymore. A single drop of rain landed on the back of his hand. He sat outside, surrounded by infinite sea and nothing, nothing. Perhaps she was just a placeholder for him to have a purpose in his otherwise meaningless life, he wondered. He would go to her, not sure if she would even care, not even sure if he would either, but still having achieved the goal of sailing halfway around the world. So much time, so much water.

After work, Buddy decided to stop by Eddie’s place to see what the guys were up to. He parked and let himself in; they’d all be down in the rec room watching the game, no doubt.
He walked down the stairs and found everybody sitting around, watching the game.
“Hey, guys,” Buddy said, and helped himself to a beer from the well-stocked fridge.
“Buddy!” Ralphie called out from across the room.
“Good to see you, Buddy,” said Eddie, looking his way.
“Hey, Buddy,” Billy said, holding up a hand, without taking his eyes off the TV.
“Anyone need another beer?” Buddy asked.
“I’ll take one,” Ralphie said.
“Me, too,” said Eddie, and caught the one Buddy threw his way.
“Yeah, I could use one, too,” said Billy.
Buddy settled in on the couch…another weekend had begun.

Mike hit him with a metal bar and the man fell, dead. Mike left hurriedly, realizing he was going to have a murder rap. Getting in his car, he drove away fast, heading for a hotel. At the hotel he sat and decided what to do. He called his girlfriend and told her to pack his things. The police found the body and identified the killer as Mike by fingerprints on the bar. Before the police could track them down, Mike and his girlfriend got on a plane to Europe. In Europe they went to the countryside and decided to buy a house with money the girlfriend had. “I need a gun, too,” said Mike. They bought everything, food too. Then they settled down and lived under European names. That was the past.

Life is fate. The world is one—and many. No one can tell when our world will end or even if it has an end, a beginning, or a middle. We can only go with the flow and hope for the children.
A man is born. He creeps through life on his metaphorical hands and knees, seeking—ever seeking. Seeking. Only to die with that question still on his lips: what is it that I seek?
In the ages since Earth was formed from the sweepings from the Big Firework that made our so-called universe, generations have risen and been consigned to the scrap heap, all straining to become themselves without ever truly knowing if those selves were selves or simply the clowns or dreams of space and time. Will the mishmash of eternity ever be unknotted by the laser of consciousness? Only we hold the answer—if we do.
But as Niestchze said, “For every thing there is a season.” Thus begins the season of Harry Carruthers: insurance salesman, father, lover, and seeker, ever seeking.

The two main obstacles are that posting here is considered "self-publishing" at least under the US rules, and as such uses up "first world-wide" rights, which means no one with any serious chance would ever post here; and second, anyone with any kind of serious chance would never want it later revealed that they were ever in any way associated with 4chan.

completely agreed.

It's sad to see how ruthless and lofty /lit/ are in regards to virtually anything, but when put to the task of writing themselves, what they produce is either through and through garbage, or at the very best, a measly attempt to ape their beloved post-modern door-stoppers, replete with a DUDE CYNICISM protagonist [self-insert] mockingly addressing the reader

Are the /crit/ threads just an off to the side subsection of the board? It's all just so awful. In a long time of browsing only a handful of contributions have actually impressed me. I often try to constructively critique because these threads are always a dogpile of morons blatantly ignoring the agreed upon etiquette of critting before you post your own shit

Last Jasper had heard, Erika was a prostitute, perhaps even an addict of some sort. As an addict of sleep, he understood having a craving for a taboo substance, and throughout Jasper's teens and into adulthood, sweet Chino was his mistress, they got some weird fancy name for it now but it still do what it does, make you sleep. He dreamed of Erika recently. She had said something in her feathery young voice then immediately mutated it into an older raspy smoke tunneled howl, coming from a blemished person that carried a mix of musty sweat and gig smoke. He dreamed about her in this way only once and it stuck. The though of her didn't make him angry, it was the immolating sinking feeling in his gut when he remembered what he did that night with her, without giving a single fuck about anyone but himself, hoe could he? Fuck this. Jasper grabbed an empty bottle of pills in his drawer. it was 3:30 in the after noon and Blocky was probably working, no good ringing him for pills or weed. fumbling with the plastic wrapper of the cap he looked around the room.

The kids were staring back at him. His ears were ringing but the rush made it unnoticeable. Sweaty and white, he broke himself from the awkward pause and the room shifted sideways as he sat, the ringing ears now taking in a faint white noise, the heat from his blood. The teacher entered the room and let in a breeze, the cold went into Jasper clothes and refreshed him, Close you eyes and breath I'll be fine just breath up and down. The ringing of the bell was rough, sitting almost directly under it. Still sweaty and walking through shifting hallways around him but not a river anymore only a slowed down beat, he diagnosed himself better. Hey I feel better now, I'll just call home and call dad to pick me up.

I've never been a proud man.

The black shoes scissor-swaying across the pavement below me have always been those of a person, nobody in particular. Many people give off the impression that beneath their deceptively singular human visage lies a sleeping Ulysses. This mute tragic hero can never be seen, least of all by the one putting on the guise, as nothing would kill Hamlet faster than the knowledge that he is a dream. However, it's not like these personas lie completely dormant. They apparate subtly in a tone of voice or a certain geometry of the body. Like Caesar's ghost descending from a bedroom closet your closest friend announces his plan to head to the liquor store, his every word another rhetorical swish of Cicero's tongue. He dances out the door like a consul on parade and returns to his own private last supper of Pabst and Kraft Dinner.

What a world that must be, to become Christ one minute then betray him as Iscariot the next, to be a slave to history and time. What a blessing to inhabit the beautiful paradox of being something which strives to become nothing at all.

Yet wherever I look, I can't help but see.

I've been dreaming lately so I think we're coming close to the end. I can already feel mythology creeping up on me. I've already been there, on mescaline in McDonalds, beheading my father with my own blade before ignobly penetrating the overweight cashier I knew to be my own mother, yet providence drove me onwards and outwards and onwards again.

I birthed myself and awoke to find I had a craving for a peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich, humming 'Blue Suede Shoes' as I readied the pan.

Not a novel, but this is the first thing I've written in years-
I had a conversation with an ancient king
In his his hidden putrid court
His scowl fierce, his face pale
His skin stretched thin over bones
Long, thin limbs under raw leathery seaweed
"I am ancient and wise, more than you could ever comprehend"
His voice sent a noticeable vibration trough the air
All living things shivered with a cold fear of death
"My might..."
The King rose up, reaching to the middle of eucalyptus trees as grey as him, showing greenish wrinkled ankles,
"...Is greater than you may ever understand"
I looked up into his squinting slits of eyes, and with a treble said
"The past is gargantuan and I will never be able to scale it"
The air got warm and damp, as if the swamp itself was sweating,
"But the future, your majesty, it is what hides true incomprehensible horror"
And I went away and the mud was putrid and the was sky yellow and the king reigned long after my life was forgotten and we have never thought of each other since.

other redundancies:

>I am ancient and....

You already said he was ancient

>His voice sent....
>All living things...

You can condense this into one really nice line

>squinting slits of eyes

The air got warm and damp, as if...

Keep the as ifs out of here, your analogies and comparisons are good, just add it into the subject.
>The swamp itself started to sweat making the air warm and damp
make it happen instead of "as if"

>incomprehensible horror

The time of Lovecraft is gone, besides true horror is seldomly comprehensible.


The last line is excellent, but "never thought of each other since" took me out of it, made it feel like some teenager reminiscing of an old breakup. Unless that's what you were going for?

I hope this helps, despites my problems with it I like it, that's why I responded in the first place.

WORLD FAMOUS ARTIST EXILED!

Scrolling idly down the page, he read the words "post first line of your novel" and, at that exact moment, decided to become a writer of great literary novels, ones to be truly appreciated by the most superior of literati: Proustites and Joyceans, Wormwords and Gallahans, and now—Gusthaversens!
>>
I reached climax and when I reached it I came in my pants, of all places, oh why my pants! Chad saw and laughed, pointed and laughed, as loud as he could until everyone was laughing and pointing. While he laughed he looked me in the eyes, his eyes looked like Daisy Ridley when she does her Alien smile, but they had a glint to them, like he was looking at me deeply. He wasn't laughing hard, just loud, and his face began to get red, his laugh began to fade away and his finger curled in to his fist, causing his arm to lower, strangely his face remained red and got redder every second. When I saw his eyes disconnect from mine and go to the floor directly behind, almost looking through my chest, my gaze drifted down to his groinal region and I saw what looked like the geography of Florida going down his pant leg, except in a wet sticky mucus that stained and sweated out of his sweatpants. After taking his turn in getting pointed and laughing at, he pushed me into the restroom and pushed me into a wall and said "What did you do to me, loser! Why did that happen to me?!" after keeping eye contact for maybe 4 seconds at most, he pushed his mouth into mine and vigorously began to tongue my throat. My eyes went wild, I instantly got hard, and instantly came again. The event got to intense for both parties that we eventually ended up pushed up on the door, which gave way to us, landing us smack dab in the middle of the main hall of our High School. As we looked around to see what was expected, we saw the unexpected. Every single person in the sight was embraced, on the ground or standing up, and passionately making out. Boy with man, girl with woman, boy with woman, and the rarest of all was boy with girl, because they rarely are found next to eachother in the first place. On top of a lunch table, which was clearly in sight from this view from the outsides of the restroom was a mexican lunch lady riding a 14 parapelegic reverse cowgirl, her pussy was dripping cum and the boy was eating an orange for the vitamin C. As the two newly formed lovers took this all in, we instaneously snapped to and caught eachothers eyesight, with a wry shrug I unsheathed my member and the bully began to unfasten his belt buckle while spinning around to switch to doggy (in order to stimulate the prostate for effectively, considering the curve of the nerds abnormally large member).
After maybe 3 minutes of steady fucking by everyone in that hall, there came a cacophoney of orgasm and a groan that vibrate down everyones spine, the ecstasy of the moment burned a hole in the back of their brain and nary a single butthole/vagina was not dripping with cum that afternoon. This was truly, the greatest moment of eachother their lives.

Flatulence had been bothering him for a good half hour. This was it, the apex. A great combustible sphere had formed in his mind: translucent, pearlescent on the surface.

Choose the Force™. Choose the Jedi. Choose a Master. Choose the Council. Choose a fucking blue lightsaber. Choose protocol droids, R2 units and clone troopers. Choose Naboo, Coruscant and Tatooine. Choose fixed-interest credit payments to the Kaminoans. Choose a Corellian freighter that did the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs. Choose a Wookiee. Choose sneaking into the Death Star, deactivating a tractor beam, waving your lightsaber in Darth Vader's face. Choose turning into a blue ghost at the end of it all, disappearing into thin air, nothing more than an embarrassment to the whiny farmboy you trained on the way to Alderaan.

I might change it. I re-read my stuff over and over again and if it doesn't flow well in my head I redo it until I like it.

I can't write normal prose for the life of me. I want to try writing an entire story in this type of scripture though.

A simple moment spark so brief in life was the tale of the horns that blew and boomed upon the city Para, the sweeping sea her gown, her limbs of stone alight with fire, the night that stepped before the Sun and left before the Moon, a time unclaimed by gods of men to sound the mortal doom.

I was but a boy that illborn night, my mind untrained and filled with fright, I cowered sleepless beneath the steps of the temple of Alae, the mistress of the day. Beneath her statue I stared towards the stars, the sky burned red and bled, and scabbed, and split, a violet screaming scar. A terrible shriek, a chorus of banshees thats clawed and ripped the dancing clouds that whirlpool swirled and tearing twirled, a celestial cosmic coil, a twisted heavenly boil.

I reeled at the sight, I stumbled and fumbled taken flight, away! away! I fell and crumpled lay, beneath the graceful figure of Alae.

“Why do you flee young broken boy?” A voice that drifted like gentle snow and shown like crystal dew, and petal spread, a scented flower bed, that calmed and cleaned my heart that squeemed, decsended from her height, glowing, flowing, and knowing in the night.

Above the boiling, roiling vortex burst, a thousand lights that flashed and fluttered, flickered, formed and framed a face, a visage, neither beast nor man.

It laughed.

Vicious toothed maws crowned the tounges that crowned its teeth that grew like thorns upon its crooked carnial smirk, coated and bloated lips that pursed it licked and slobbered down its chin, a pickled broth, a putrid vile defiled bile dribbled from its smile.

Either this:
"The only compass a child has are their own impulses."
Or this:
"The one thing redeemable about a careless unsupervised childhood is the ability to laugh at nothing."
I'm leaning more towards the first one, as the novel is all about young people in America being ravaged by their own impulses (think opiod addiction and death from automobile accidents).
>>
http://pastebin.com/TnHETzeR

not my first line but my opening paragraph

>>9006943

for this one

>"The only compass a child has are their own impulses."

you mention the compass (singular) and then impulses (plural) which makes it clunky

Overall I prefer the second one feels more poignant but the small correction I'd make would be

>The one redeemable thing about a careless unsupervised childhood is the ability to laugh at nothing."

or something like

>The one redemption of a careless unsupervised childhood is the ability to laugh at nothing

I'm not sure what you mean laugh at nothing. Like laugh at pointless and arbitrary things ? Or as in they don't laugh at all
>>
>>9006943

Both are quite good.

Are you leaning toward the first because it implies the children are lost? Because that carries its own host considerations (which I'm sure you've considered)

I'm leaning toward the second. It more fully follows through the thoughts of the narrator (in both instances an adult) who seems to be making a call on youth. The second seems more honest in one sense. The narrator feels just as lost as children do, and only the narrating voice seems to offer solace/direction. Whereas if you go for the first one, it implies (I think, at least tacitly) that all a child needs is to get to adulthood to find their footing, when we often know anything but that to truly be the case.

In either case, I hope you keep the animus up

When you’re very young, the world is full of atmospheres instead of objects. Think about what memories of childhood are like. They’re memories of how things felt, rather than records of what happened. The red and white dimples that carpet pile presses into your bare knees. How burps smell after you’ve accidentally swallowed pool water. The static electricity that hisses and ticks as you drag your finger across the screen of a television tube. These grains of experience evaporate into the aura of what it was like to be a kid.

Then you get older. The cloud you lived in as a kid starts to fall as hail. Think about how the act of picking a movie changes. When you’re seven, the aura and excitement of WATCHING A MOVIE creeps like a fog into the act of picking one out and it almost doesn’t matter which you choose. Ten years later and you’re weighing this film against that film, comparing tenths of an IMDb star, noticing how Lindsay Lohan doesn’t look like a scuffed Barbie in it, etc.

Life starts to turn dry. The grains of experience no longer evaporate. Instead they collect into little drifts. Lots of people get stuck here. For them the drifts turn into dunes and the dunes turn their lives into a desert of happenstance.

The narrator is (perhaps) one of these last people who can see that native strength of childhood and youth, fully realizing however, that in that strength is the great potential for blind personal destruction (compulsion). And whats more, how difficult, if not outright impossible it is to communicate these life truths to youth, who can hear what you're saying, but nevertheless, its like hearing about the benefits of oxygen from a Kryptonian

Hello, hello, hello, this is me, I: hello. To those who still enjoy their humanity and wish to prolong their optimism, I have this to say: I beg to differ. What follows past this point is not a provocation. No, it’s merely a choice. This set of choices is you either continue on with the rest of these writings of mine or you don’t and stay as whatever you are, it’s up to you and I am not tempting you for anything; if you’re wish is to stay at the heart of the doings of philanthropy or merely coexisting benevolently with yourself, so be it. But if you will continue on, there has to be a will for understatement, a will to bear with me during most of these recollections. To what I saw, did, and had lived through, I probably have a good opinion on, and I am sure once you are through you will as well. I expect no pity, no sympathy, no indentifying, but I do know what is to come and what is to be thought, and I invite you to say and think whatever, but you must remember, we share the same skin.

In all his many years of stealing underwear never had a opportunity quite like this presented itself. A holy grail, a choir of angels, he thought he could see his grandparents waving from across a river. Truly in this moment he felt akin to a king. Freshly worn!

The point about compasses is simply not true. Many children not only have access to bonafide N-NW compasses, they even play with them frequently. This may seem petty, but ask yourself if any of your favorite writers (not DFW) would use words so recklessly.

The messy assortment sprawled across the toilet didn't abolish the amnesia fog, instead the pungent smell of half digested whisky (which indeed forced her awake) began to conjure isolated images of the previous evening.

He yelled at the top of his lungs and ventured unsteadily into the kitchen to grab himself another bottle of the usual. Next, he sat on a tatty mattress in the corner of his – pardon my lack of a better word – cabinet and, breathing heavily, burst out laughing. The emotional instability he dealt with since childhood kicked in again
