My novel sucks

Is he right?

i'm stuck on my ninth spensarian stanza. i sent the first seven to some college professor friends of my late grandpa and they sent it to some of their friends and they're all talking quite glowingly about it. i've put my other two novels and short story collection on hold to give it priority.

incredible how bad his takes are, except for shitting on Jacko willings

Pretty good, just released my third book

when are you going to add honor levy to the authors list, lewis?

Jocko has better takes than Sam Hyde. Strict adherence to contrarian cynicism doesn't equal intelligence and it certainly doesn't make you cool.

You don't understand, I NEED to read more books in order to be a good writer.

>>24550355
Books are the last place to look for inspo when writing (yes, I know your post was sarcastic)

>My book is bad? Good. Write another one

>>24550370
Perhaps there's something similar to be said about Sam's TV shows.

Would you take tom clancy’s success but always be known as a hack among your peers?

I got a short story published recently, that was fun.

I entered a poem in a major poetry contest last month. First prize is $2000, and more than that, winning or at least placing well in the contest would probably be a major boost for my career as an artist. I hope I can do a decent job.

career?

post it, dont b a bitch

Well... it all started with Charles Sanders Peirce.

It is now currently an algorithm capable of converting any mathematical object across dimensions and between systems (ZFC to string theory, etc.)

Don't do science, kids.

Peace out, /lit/.

Got a lot of buns in the oven

is this true? send a stanza

Surprisingly good. The trick is to work in a field where what you write HAS to be published. I’m essentially a ghost writer for people with problems. I write a narrative concerning their problems then write about why they should receive deliverance from them—usually in monetary form. The judge gets upset at my use of flowery language though…

It depends. Am I just Tom Clancy, having written Tom Clancy books, or Clancyesque books? Or am I famous like Tom Clancy but for my own books? That last one seems pretty good.
