Almost like being an author doesn't pay as well as you'd think.

How do they do it? How do they endure their mothers?

>Adam Smith lived with his mother into middle age
>Lived with aunt after mother died

Moving out and getting your own place at 18 is a historical anomaly at this point. And the spread your wings thing never really happened in many countries (Spain, Italy, etc).
So it’s an anglo expectation from about 1950-1990 or so. Now we’re back to not being able to afford it.

>>24552547
you've got a point and i believe is the real truth.

It's from a time when daddy could beat up mommy when she had woman moments, not single moms castrating their sons. Completely different family experience.

>Dino Buzzati lived with his mother into middle age

I'm noticing a trend here...

What the fuck is the point in moving out a loving family's home?
Waste tens of thousands of dollars because of muh pride and muh independence? Retards

>>24552887
It's simple:

>higher social prestige
>higher change of attracting a mate
>sense of independence and confidence
>escape threat of being mocked and ridiculed

>>24552887
They want people poor and alone

No, anon, living in your parents' paper-mash suburban house is not the same as them living in actual generational houses.

>>24552887
>t. Still lives with his parents (lol)

>>24552426 (OP)
>Julius Evola lived with his mother into middle age
Source? I don't see anything online that says that

>>24553047
>"Perhaps it is unseemly to bring up his personal life, but it seems here we must. If the choices are between a celibate spiritual or secular order and family life, Evola himself chose neither. Instead he lived with his mother as long as she was alive. Since in Italy at the time, a son would live a home until he married, this should not be considered unusual, except that he was pushing 50. Also, in ancient Rome, even married sons remained at the father’s home until he died. But that just demonstrates the normal expectations of Roman life."

>>24553064
Ah. That explains a lot.

>>24553064
You didn't give a source.

>>24552426 (OP)
Cornell Woolrich too.
>>24552445
And he was also gay. Literally.

>>24553125
Is Woolrich good?

I'm getting into detective fiction and just started reading Chandler

I’m 27 and live with my parents still. It’s the one thing I get so heavily judged for it’s insane. Like, some boomers are straight up rude about it to my face like it personally offends them.
They never bother to ask my parents how they feel about it. They want me to stay. Place would fall apart without me.

>>24552445
You are a faggot.

>>24553133
What boomers are you talking to?

thats the secret to all of this, you need to neet max to be a good writer, you need to give up on having a wife, kids, a job, and focus on writing every day, also leech off your parents

>>24553136
My father’s (who is 73) friends and/or cousins usually. Also his brothers, my uncles.
Aunts and uncles on my mom’s (who is 60) side are also judgmental about it.
For instance my mom’s brother and law last time I saw him was talking to my dad about how he kicked his son out of the house. Kind of a weird story to tell when it’s just the 3 of us in the living room together. I considered it a bit of a jab at me.
Then at the 4th of July party we held at my house the other day, my dad’s new friend started rambling about it’s about time I start building a house of my own or something then I heard him talking to someone else and then he stopped himself and said “I better not say anymore, I might not get invited back”.
I’m going to visit my dads cousins this weekend with my parents and I just know there going to be some low key shit talking about me.

>>24553160
That sucks, sorry you had to sit through that

Nobody well-adjusted wants to become a writer, except those who slip into it after another career, like those ex-intelligence spy novel sloppers.
Non-slop writers write about being weird and an outsider, and if you identify with that in your youth already, it's probably because you are just that.
Living with your mom after you're a mature sexual being is weird. Half the people you listed were incels, femcels, faggots, or some other kind of repressed awkward broken personalities. Howard killed himself when his mother died. Lovecraft was an inactive neet as long as she was alive. Borges was a mommy's boy into his old age, and married right after she died. Kafka lived in fear of his parents' disapproval of his personal life.
It's crazy how Freud was right about everything.

>>24552445
>Lovecraft
Sensitive young man who went against the wishes of his aunts by marrying a Jew.
>Poe
Sensitive young man whose real mother died. Still courted older women regularly and asserted himself in public life. Asked the US president for a magazine subscription.

>>24552426 (OP)
Howard lived with his mother until the day he died, in fact.

>>24552426 (OP)
Those were people were literally all either autistic or had some other condition like Proust who was def a coddled momma’s boy with some creepy psychological things going on.

>>24552426 (OP)
Philipp Mainlander took a vow of virginity like "he'll never love anther woman" on the grave of his mother. Very weird. He too like Howard killed himself.

All of these people were fucked up.

>>24553391
You say it like it's a bad thing

>>24553411
Fuck you fag. At least make something of yourself if you desire misery.

>>24553160
Tell them to fuck off. If you keep putting up with it they will keep guilt tripping you, because you're showing weakness and therefore as an easy prey. If you help around the house you don't have to answer to anyone else (and even then, living with your parents was what everyone do before jews subverted society).

>>24553160
Why do you even occupy the same space as these clowns? Distance yourself. Sounds like your parents are the only ones who love you.

>>24553131
He wrote at night and then delivered the MS without corrections. His publishers didn't do anything about it because he could get so violent, so expect plot holes.

>>24553452
Real post. Like 50% of the world still lives with their families outside of America, look at chinese people, latinos or italians. This weird ass obsession with separating people from their loved ones is GAY!

>>24553038
I love living with my parents. You probably made a literal death pact with a jew or are a rentoid. Both gay

>>24553160
They're all fucking retards, but if it makes you feel any better, it's likely just another form of ossified thinking where beyond a certain point in life, certain types are incapable of updating their thinking in regards to society at large. Like how those who suffered through the Great Depression still reused their tea bags and scrounged every penny even in times of plenty decades afterward, Boomers are incapable of doing the calculus to realize you can't rent a one bedroom apartment that isn't in the ghetto for part-time wages at a retail job like in their youth, or the absurdity of sending off literal hundreds of job applications and getting nowhere because you didn't put the secret keyword in your resume to not get automatically rejected by an AI.

Apparently Thoreau used to being his dirty laundry home for his mother to do while he was larping as an innawoods cabin dweller

>>24552445
I was about to do this. lol

It's easy to get good at something when you don't have to suffer them bitches gnawing at your dick all day everyday, wasting all of your goddam time.

>>24552445
Why does that one guy get called Dead when they all are?

>>24556848
>apparently Thoreau was based
Agreed.

>>24552720
Also might be different cultural standards. I imagine lots of people lived with their parents in the past, but thats just a guess
