حلال Connor Bible - Everyone's Favorite Molly Ringwald loving, adoption hating, aspiring writer and bellybutton fucker

[Chan the Wizard]

So, you want me to be successful, sacrificing my privacy as a writer and some creative freedom in pursuit of the almighty dollar.

Exactly what privacy are you worried about?
Are there darker secrets than your dick smelling like death and wanting Molly Ringwald to eat you?

Are you concerned obsessed fans will come around your parents house, peak inside the windows to catch a glimpse of the great Connor Bible masturbating?

Alphaboy

I'm not really familiar with the plot of Alphaboy as I haven't really kept up with this thread. Are there other deliberate references in it?

@Connor Bible:

Writers, even successful writers, are not "celebrities" in any conventional sense. With the possible exception of Salman Rushdie, their lives go on much as they did before their books were published. Michael Chabon does not get mobbed by fans when he goes to the store. His agent and his editor are not constantly pressuring him to win a second Pulitzer or make his books more commercial.

In short, it's nothing like Misery.

Readers are actually more demanding and intelligent than you think.

I think we know this far more than you do, Connor.

But jesus, this is not a conversation I ever expected to see happened. Connor doesn't want to get published? (yet) Well fuck me sideways, I thought that's what he was going for this whole time!!!

But seriously @Connor Bible maybe you should try to get a job somewhere else and make writing a side hobby
But who am I kidding, Connor thinks he's God's gift to literature, that won't happen

Look at it this way Connor, Chris is more productive than you.

Let's look at that sentence again shall we?

Chris a man who took what 5/6 years? To finish a shit crayon comic is more productive with his time than you are.

Spoiler

can't remember the exact time gap so forgive me if I'm wrong

You're crabby as hell this morning.

Getting published at around the age of twenty-one wouldn't exactly do wonders to my psyche. If I were to get published now and have a hit, I would probably snap under pressure from both fans and publishers to churn out another hit.

You do realize the majority of writers never reach JK Rowling or George RR Martin levels of fame, right? Those are the exception, not the rule.

So, you want me to be successful, sacrificing my privacy as a writer and some creative freedom in pursuit of the almighty dollar.

Wh-What? What the hell does that mean? You do realize that writers generally have a lot of creative control over their own work, right?

I beg to differ. Once you have a hit on your hands, the suits and the fans want another one, and they scream in your face "it better be good/make us money."

So, basically, you all want me to be Michael Bay.

No, we want you to go back and read the last three pages, because you have the reading comprehension of a first grader.

 

[TM Ambrose]

I think Connor empathy's too hard. We should be nicer to him because of his obvious future success.

I think Connor empathy's too hard.

Unlike his dong.

It's truly amazing how badly you always misinterpret our intentions. I know that you think we're evil, horrible people, but seriously, why do you always jump to the absolute worst conclusion?

I doubt he thinks we think this. He does this on purpose to derail the conversation. Also, I doubt he fears success; he just invented another excuse for not writing even though writing is a completely self-created goal. Connor is fascinating. He wants to be a writer literally only in name.

Because he can justify the rest of his stupid shite that he pulls if he paints us as the villains. You know, he's a misunderstood artist being oppressed by a detestable hivemind that stifles fun and creativity.

Because the world is a cartoon now.

If Connors life was a cartoon I'd want to be the voice in his head; constantly failing to get him to do anything.

 

[Accel_Rider]

Does your parents ever told you to not to count your chickens before they hatch? Or are they too busy using you as a pawn in their mind games?

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

So, you want me to be successful

YES.

If I were to get published now and have a hit

If I get a book out there and somehow have a hit

Once you have a hit on your hands

Step 1: Finish Chapter 1. Then maybe you can start thinking about publishing.

Pot meet kettle. Now Connor that is an "idiom" which if you learn the meaning of you might become a better writer.

Here's another handy idiom, Connor---putting the cart before the horse. Except the cart is a pile of lumber & the horse is a gleam in a stallion's eye.

If you want to write a best-selling novel, you have to. . .you know, write first.

If Connors life was a cartoon I'd want to be the voice in his head; constantly failing to get him to do anything.

You do have the voice for it.

In all fairness, Eragon received pretty negative reviews.

 

[VLAD]

No guys Connor's a future bestselling author and that's basically the same thing as being one now dude so you CAN'T DISRESPECT HIM.

Press to respect Connor Bible.

So did Redesigning Eva. At least the kid that made Eragon got some money out of it

Alright, I've given what's been said in the past three pages some thought. I've come to the conclusion that yes, my fear of success/failure (take your pick) is crippling any chance I have of becoming a fiction writer. I think its best to simply do it without any real expectations. It's a grueling, difficult task, but it has its perks. Yes, I won't reach King or Rowling levels of fame the second I get published. If I were to have a hit, it would be just that: a successful novel. A slew of hits over the period of a few years is another story entirely. To ensure success is to, in the words of Faulkner, kill your darlings. You and the publishers have to be pragmatic in deciding what hits the shelves. Chances are, most of what I write won't even be released.
