There's no point in writing. Statistically your book will simply not stand out. Only a small fraction of any art is memorable or even interesting. This is especially true to the mediums of literature and music.
In fact, most people are flat out retards when it comes to writing. They weren't born with an intuitive creativity and sense of pacing that cannot be developed.
All the people here who think they're the next DFW or Pynchon are in for a rude awakening.

>writing to be the next DFW or Pynchon
The best stories are ones the author wants to tell, not ones the author wants others to love. Many great authors have both qualities but if you lack the first one youre shit.
Its called artistic vision faggot

That's why I write erotica under a pen name and self publish on amazon. My writing has actually significantly improved from writing that bullshit and I make money now.

>They weren't born with an intuitive creativity and sense of pacing that cannot be developed.
>They weren't born with [a] sense of pacing that cannot be developed.
So you're saying their sense of pacing CAN be developed? That's a good thing, isn't it?

Most people may be flat out retards when it comes to writing, but I'm not most people.
I'm not the next DFW of Pynchon, I'm the first me. And that's good enough.
