Meds are for the weak, kindly spedittor. If the abyss calls a man must jump in it headfirst with no reservations.Okay then. Good luck with your new meds.

Please jump, for the sake of a cozy little thread, please do it.Meds are for the weak, kindly spedittor. If the abyss calls a man must jump in it headfirst with no reservations.
When I said that purity of intent alone doesn't make a piece of writing good, I wasn't asking for examples.Meds are for the weak, kindly spedittor. If the abyss calls a man must jump in it headfirst with no reservations.
It's Christmas, after all. Have all the examples you can swallow.When I said that purity of intent alone doesn't make a piece of writing good, I wasn't asking for examples.
idk if I want to associate my public Internet persona with KF at this moment.
There's a very simple explanation for this: It's the furthest thing possible from advice and I'm only telling you because you came here and prompted me to respond to you directly. So there's no discrepancy between the two posts. If you're that offended on behalf of your favorite children's book author that's strictly a you problem.But seriously, I find it impressive that you first say not to take writing advice because writers are too far up their own asses, then proceed to take a day trip up your own rectum to bring us this eternal writing wisdom. Amazing.
You weren't criticizing Rowling, so why would I be offended on her behalf?Didn't see the edit.

But then you gave up on writing because of a youtube video. Why does your opinion on art even matter? It's not about postmodernism or quality or beauty. Art at its core is a prehistoric thing and taking it back to the root of its origin requires a kind of madness that's incompatible with half-assed contemporary notions of entertainment.You weren't criticizing Rowling, so why would I be offended on her behalf?
Edit: I think you believe I disagree with you because your writing ethos contradicts Rowling's. I don't. I fundamentally disagree with the postmodern view on art. A messy blob on a canvas is not better than a technically well-executed piece of art simply because the blob meant something to the artist. The quality of a work determines its value, not the supposed meaning behind it.
This is the second wrong inference you've made from a very simple post. Next time I'll save myself the agony and reply to the thread instead of you.But then you gave up on writing because of a youtube video. Why does your opinion on art even matter?
Your reasons for agreeing with postmodernists are incidental to me.It's not about postmodernism
This is a lot of pretentious nonsense you've constructed to cope with the awareness that you'll probably never publish anything. I understand from everything you've posted that you want your writing to be the opposite of what modern audiences want to read, and what modern publishing deems fit for sale. That could potentially be an interesting thread topic if you'd drop the MySpace Joker act.Welcome to my twisted mind
If I ever want your respect or your personal opinions on art, I'll let you know via DM. I responded to you as a general jumping off point to say something related to the thread, not because I wanted a front row seat to your art lecture.Though if you do want to talk art, I have no respect for anyone who isn't willing to throw themselves upon the pyre of their own convictions. If you're not willing to go that far you're merely a tourist.
Lies. You keep recommending everyone to do meth, which you obviously are doing right now lol.In fact I don't recommend anyone else does what I do unless they're willing to burn absolutely everything around them to the ground for the sake of this one pursuit.
That's not writing advice, it's a way of life.Lies. You keep recommending everyone to do meth, which you obviously are doing right now lol.
Meth. Just make sure you're doing the right meth............................................meth or crack, which is a more sustainable habit long-term? I wanna get a new hobby
Yes. The second novel in my current series is dark and upsetting. It's thematically necessary but I really, really don't enjoy writing grimdark. While editing it, I found I had to take a break to write a tie-in novella about a ballerina, and another entry in my fantasy series as a pallet cleanser. I've posted it before that I can't maintain being in that headspace, and I understand and empathise why GRRM and Miura have/had trouble closing out their stories.
Yes, all of the time. Sometimes I get frustrated with how it comes along, and write a side project, before repeating over and over. It's a bad habit of mine that I'm trying to stop. Due to a lack of confidence, and me being my harshest critic, I do it way too often or wind up scrapping a good portion of the story.Anyone else get the issue where you sit down to write something, and you make an absolute fuck-ton of progress, but you realize a bit down the line that it's not something that you entirely enjoy and start up a side-project to create something that you "truly" love?
Had that happen over the weekend. I put about 7K words into a project and mothballed it for a while. I just looked at it and was so disgusted with it that I immediately deleted it.Anyone else get the issue where you sit down to write something, and you make an absolute fuck-ton of progress, but you realize a bit down the line that it's not something that you entirely enjoy and start up a side-project to create something that you "truly" love?
I had that, my own nihilism bled in too much and completely ruined the chapter I set out to write. Just yielding the most misanthropic and miserable shit possible.Had that happen over the weekend.
