What's stopping you /lit/?

i'm a straight white male

>>24498288 (OP)
Literally who?

>>24498288 (OP)
I'm trying my best

>>24498308
So what?

>6 novels
Only one of them is okay. Keep it up though queen.

>>24498288 (OP)
Don't remind me of her books
The Poppy War is dogshit

>>24498340
Babel was amazing and a true literary masterpiece

>>24498342
What was so great about it?

>>24498344
The themes, characters, prose, settings, reflective introspection, plot, inspiration all blended seamlessly providing a unique tale that only a modern writer could accomplish and tell

>>24498340
>Oh it's the poppy war chick
Not reading that feminist slop ever

>>24498348
Why could only a modern writer tell it?

>>24498288 (OP)
I can tell you what’s stopped everyone.

>>24498342
Couldn't overcome the preachiness and the fact that essentially every character, except the protagonist, is a 2d caricature.

I have similar views on colonialism, but her takes aren't very sophisticated and the message is too heavy handed. It's clearly targeted for YA

She really benefitted from social media

>>24498357
Because only a modern writer would be able to have a perspective of colonialism and it's devastating effects on the colonized with historical hindsight.

>>24498402
Oh yeah true that new modern practice of colonizing.

>brown women cruise through life on easy mode

We know, this didn't need a thread

>>24498288 (OP)
Why do yellow women always have such big teeth?

>>24498288 (OP)
You forgot the part where she clearly comes from a family of wealth, being able to study at multiple universities in both the US and the UK. Additionally this would provide her better connections to publishers.

Its not just what you are capable of writing, but a lot of it is who you know and how large your wealth is which truly opens these doors.

Unfortunately, you don’t score any of the points that actually matter by being an astroturfed PoC slop writer who only has a career because of a machine literally designed to make you money and fame despite your talent.

>Dostoevsky pulls from experiences including a mock execution, epilepsy, and a brutal tsarist regime
>Modern female authors expand on that one time they were cat-called 10 years ago over 200 pages

There will be no good modern female authors from the west because they all try to ape oppression narratives while themselves never experiencing significant and tangible oppression. It's all fake and superficial and reads as such.

>>24498402
Heckin true! Have my updoot!!

>>24498308
Unironically this.

despite all that this DEI nepobaby is still an irrelevant USAID psyop that is used to westernize east asia.
>>24498340
he read lmao.

I wrote a ya romantasy novel because I enjoy reading them despite being a man in my 30s. I'm going to send it out under a female pen name. Hope it goes well.

>>24498288 (OP)
My fatal lack of drive. Also, I'm not motivated by material success, though that is no excuse for me writing as little as I do.

>>24498871
You should genuinely do it and report the results to /lit/

What is stopping me is having actual taste

/thread

>>24498288 (OP)
Didn’t she get married to a white guy?

Nobody likes what I write. I always take into account what people critique and try my best to accommodate what I learn into the next piece. But still they do not like what I write.

>how did _____ become so successful at such a young--
Rich parents. Every time.

>>24499126

Based. Asian men are too prone to NEETism and gooning.

>>24499187
Grow a sack

Successful women are my favorite

>>24498402
powerful

>>24499126
Yes

>>24498288 (OP)
reminder that anyone that has a big five deal as a teenager is by definition an industry plant. it is literally impossible without having rich parents and "RF" is one of many examples of this.

>>24498402
>people speedrunned neolithic to telephones in 100 years
The colonizers suffered 1500 years of the struggle that uplifts civilization after being colonized themselves. And the colonized are generally better off for it. The religion of those that go out of their way to decry this long past history has never helped anyone from the nation to the individual soul

>>24498871
Why even go through the effort when AI could have done it.

I've written 4 novels and two collections of short stories at age 32, but as a straight white male I will never be published.
No, I won't share my writing with you.

>>24498308
You're just like brownies screeching about systemic oppression or whatever.

>>24500563
Except that there is literally overt systemic oppression of whites and males in the West. Just walk in to any student resources center on any university campus, they will have tons of scholarships for women (women are already the majority of the student body, the split being 60/40 to men) and there will be ZERO that are men only scholarships. Same goes for scholarships for diverse individuals, but none for whites only. This is just the reality today.

>>24498288 (OP)
probably becouse asians are hardworking and whites are lazy complainers

stopped reading there. kill yourself posthaste

>>24498348
I don't accept recommendations without substance like this, not a forum where you have as much time to write whatever you want. So that's a no from me.

Didn't the sun rise yesterday?
