So just be inauthentic? Isn't this womanly to hide your real self?

>>24668829 (OP)
sure i guess, it's generic advice, have colleagues and be collegial

>>24668869
What about authors like Nabokov and Thomas Ligotti? Aren't they lone wolves?

>>24668829 (OP)
No. Terrible advice you fucking suck. You should be a hateful spiteful chud.

>>24668885
Do you actually think Vladimir Nabokov went around insulting people to their faces

>>24668885
You should first spend plentitudes of time writing, before worrying about being a writer.

>thinks "conflictive" is a word

Unfortunately that is the only way to get ahead in what they call the "rat race" of the modern world.

>meet other writers
Since when do writers ever even need to be in the same room out of necessity?

Wouldn't it be better to save your energy socializing with publishers and editors?

Not that you can't have writers friends, but I'm fairly certain the climate makes it completely acceptable for you to publicly tell another writer to essentially "fuck off" if you feel like it (not that I'm saying to go and do such a thing).

The fact that you believe being a socialite is favorable for a writer points towards the industry being really bad about systemic nepotism/favoritism.

I think networking in any field is always a very good choice. Especially nowadays since Litterature has been engulfed by the entertainment industry and you need as many contacts as possible.
