>I have nothing important to say so you don't either
Stop standing in my sunlight, pleb.

>>9209769
it's true desu

Nothing you do will ever be remembered. The only things that are remembered are those written down. Why? Because it's the best medium for expressing ideas worth a damn.

Dead, empty eyes.

>Serious question, why?
Mostly for reconstruction of arguments by my favorite philosophers and my replies and critiques to them.

>And don't try that 'I write for myself' bullshit, you know it's just an excuse.
I write for Kant who is my spirit guardian. Thank you very much.

I write non-fiction that isn't autobiographical.

You had me up to "video games".

why you posting pictures of MissAlice94 senpai?
U wank to her often?

>your life wasn't interesting enough for non-fiction autobiography. You have nothing meaningful or important to say.

My life has been pretty interesting. Maybe yours hasn't, but plenty of people I know had very interesting lives, for the good or bad.

In the archive somewhere. No name, but quasi-avatar use of kant's death mask, various pictures of celestial formations, preserved human anatomy, etc. Very knowledgeable of a conventional reading of Kant. Articulate and patient in the extreme. Stand up lad, basically. (Might actually be a grill, but I refer to them as kantbro regardless). Worth looking up, if you're interested in Kant. Anything from the past 2-3 years, I would think. Posted on most threads on Kant, so just look for those.

I enjoy writing and sharing my work with people who also seem to enjoy it.

I write because I have no friends except for the voices in my head I talk to and I think it's nice to try doing something with them besides just talking.

I am thralled to the inscrutable exhortations of my soul.

Mimetic desire. I covet the cleverness and success of my literary hero. I want to be him, but that is impossible. I must be satisfied with wearing his mirror image. Even that is a heroic task for a pleb like me.

who is hosting lit archives these days

because I tried to make videogames for almost a decade and failed, and now simply want to improve, practice and be someone important in one skill.

also, writing is one of the least technically demanding skills in terms of motor coordination, but is also one of the most dificult to pull off properly.

The same reason why people set out to make movies; to recreate and produce something they only envisioned or created in their minds. People create worlds all the time in their head. Some even fall for it for a couple seconds when they're dreaming.

Also some people do it to get paid.

Most authors, it seems, lived really shit lives. I mean like the canonical big boys.

Joyce
Proust
Eliot
The jury is out on Pinecone I guess.

I've not looked into it but I bet Malcolm Lowry was a miserable alcoholic just based on Under the Volcano

No doubt. The person I'm talking about was addicted to heroin and booze in his most productive years. It nearly killed his health and career. Whisky helped me with my social anxiety and work rage in my military years, now going through a handle every 3-4 days and living a sedentary life is is killing me but I can't seem to quit. Oh well.

It did go down for sometime but I feel like that was at least a year ago since it's been back up.
