Why did you keep on writing after you realized that you would

Divine intervention.

You were destined to fail because your motivation was getting published.

Now, if you actually liked writing for it;s own sake and didn't just like the idea of telling people you're a published author then maybe you'd have gotten somewhere instead of spending all your writing time jerking off to the idea of getting a booker prize.

Thank you Senpai

Catharsis.

> you would never be published and you would never have anything original or useful to say
Maybe it's time to revamp your material by reading more, cuck

I have original things to say, but I have a pathological lack of ambition.

>>8990587
MONEY, DEAR BOY.

>>8990587
I didn't, I quit writing maybe a year ago, and now I don't know what to do with my free time.

I do this. I just lived in Paris and Prague for about a year each and told every girl I met I was a "writer" or a "novelist", and 4-5 girls let me cum inside them without a condom, no joke.

i might not have anything original to say (nor does anyone) but at least i can reiterate whats important

>>8991002
I want some kind of meaning. Any kind of meaning. The need to leave a mark is what drives me. A proof of existence. Something to distract myself from the pain. Self loathing and shame are the main emotional forces.

>>8990587
I stopped for a while after college like most people probably do if they don't get a job in the field right off the bat.

>>8991002
good post

But if you'd just met'em, how can you be certain she's on the pill?

>>8990587
If you quit because of a few form rejections, you don't deserve to be published.
