Guys. We're never going to escape this cycle if we keep fetishizing the isolation and self-destructiveness of the writerly life. Take John Green, for example. Now there's a guy who found a happy medium.

Shit, he may suck, but that motherfucker makes more scrilla than I do
>>9085657
>money is most important
No wonder you idolize green. Moron
>>9085773
Money needn't be idolized to be respected. To criticize those who make money is to encourage your opponents to say that you simply can't make money and view their success as sour grapes.
Honestly I'd rather be poor and myself than this dweeb.
Look up "100days" on YouTube and watch how a 39 year old man gets the jitters from a climbing wall.

>Happy Medium
>Watching his wife get fucked by rows and rows of black thugs and rapefugees.

desu you write like a stupid "profound quote" that would be posted by some moron on facebook.

respecting people solely because they make money is pure ideology.

I would rather write one good book and die in a gutter than spend a second in his anemic skin.

Isn't he the guy who talks about Cheerios and how you are not entitled to a girl because you treat her well?
The latter obviously doesn't cover money and fame, clearly those entitle you to your high school waifu?

>We're never going to escape this cycle if we keep fetishizing the isolation and self-destructiveness of the writerly life.
This is largely inescapable, especially when you're starting out. Self-destructiveness can allude to a lot of things, including dying to what you thought you knew and moving on with what you now know. It's a continual process.
But I understand that your general sentiment is about avoiding romanticizing the "literary life", which I do agree with.

Honestly I don't know anything about his books besides the fact that there was a movie with pic related based on one.
I really fucking hate his brother though. The history and philosophy for dummies by dummies, where the group writing the script have taken philosophy101 and high school world history and instead of discussing these things in a professional and objective fashion they sneak in historical revisionism and feminist readings.

What the fuck???
The lonely and self-destructive are not so solely because they write...
>>9085633

>>9085633
Fetishising normie life is just as silly.
>>9085649

>>9086132

"After longing to see our name written around the sun, we lapse to the other extreme and pray that it will be erased everywhere and forever... We hate anyone who attaches himself to us, counts on us, or expects something from us. The only concession we can still make to others is to disappoint them"

John Green is the definition of normalfaggotry.

I don't really have a problem with his work. But he is just the most stereotypical self-hating progressive cuck, that I can't help but hate him.

But John... you write books for them.

>>9087567
I remember she only married him after his first book became a hit.

Somebody shouted "what's up John Green!" at me from a passing car today. I guess I do look a little like him. I wish I had thought fast enough to respond "what's up Jaden Smith!" or something like that.
