>tfw just finished ANOTHER poem for my book

gave it up when i realized how gay of a desire it was to want to be a writer. i think celine had it right basically.

Starting to improve after doing some cooywork.

my rpg books are set to be published soon

read my fiction fuck

I got another "encouraging" rejection. The magazine told me that they were "impressed" by my writing, but they still wouldn't publish my story. I seem to get a lot of these. It's become frustrating.

I no longer believe any kind of "career" is possible in literature unless I allow myself to become essentially a tool for some publishing house, probably a minor one, and agree to be a smiling, presentable, mild-mannered guy who hypes himself and his work at every given opportunity.

I am now focusing my attention on writing a novel which I intend to half-heatedly shill on /lit/ and /r9k/ in the hope that word of mouth will allow it some kind of brief meme status.

You and I both know nobody will put in the effort to read a novel someone on /lit/ wrote

>>9801762
definitely not his because it will be shit. but what if someone from /lit/ writes a good one and you miss it because of your prejudice and skepticism?

>>9802052
Obviously the way to do it is the get the novel published first, and then once it's published and somewhat well-known, come back to /lit/ to brag and get fellated and/or enviously hated.

>get the novel published first

that goes without saying. getting fellated and enviously hated sounds intoxicating. I am going to chase this.

Can't finish any work. Too many other distractions and responsibilities.

I was doing well, writing every day. I've since slackened. Just don't have the motivation. I reread what I wrote and think of better ideas. I want to continue these stories but can't get over rewriting the opening again and again.

>>9801762
At this point I only read works produced by e/lit/ists.

I've been writing "something" but I'm unsure what to make of it.
its not so much a book or story as it is a rubbish heap with a plot
