o shit

An updated Catechism of the Catholic Church, visit me in the Vatican if you have any questions

A war on terror slash neoliberalism satire with bits from Alice in Wonderland for the YA market. Not sure whether I should split the third book into two movies though.

Post snippets and I'll tell you if your stuff is any good.

I just finished up an epyllion, or what I'm choosing to call an epyllion at any rate. It was my first stab at narrative poetry, inspired by the class on English Romanticism I'm currently taking for grad school.

I probably won't ever try to get it published. It was more of an experiment than anything else, a first try at something I'd never written before. I think the beginning's a bit of a mess, anyway, but I started to get into the swing of things about a fifth of the way through.

Not sure what I'll write next. Maybe a short story, maybe an essay to get published.

Haven't worked on this in a while because meds but when I finish it I hope it's something I can publish. Maybe I'm just being retarded.

"As I was at the store I couldn’t help but notice the array of squids, all palish pink and sad and flaccid, staring out with those huge, black, dead eyes.
I could still remember how my mother’d come home one morning with a squid fresh from the market, how she’d insisted on buying a live one so I could watch the thing perish, how it wriggled its tentacles weakly against her fingers and she laughed saying, “See? See how weak this creature is?” before slicing into it with one clean stroke and leaving it twitching on the cutting board.
I could still recall putting it in my mouth, wanting desperately to spit it back out before my father slammed his fist against the table. When I did swallow I felt so ill I cried, too scared to vomit but knowing that it was inevitable. My mother was in tears, too. My father hit me until I did vomit, all over the rug, and then he hit me some more.
I selected three pieces of fish and went back home."

Here's another part I wrote a bit more recently while I was fucking around.

Your cock must be huge

You write a bit like me, for better or worse. Here's a bit of my project, whatever it is.


"Philip may be a tall man, but even he must be a far cry from bumping his head on this door. It’s old, majestic and robust. I’d say mahogany but I don’t know wood. The handle looks golden, though it appears to be bronze where the hands haven’t touched it for years, I don’t know metals. Philip must be a man preferring style over substance, there’s no doorbell in sight. So I have to knock on this magnificent door to get his attention. Two times I knock, half a minute I wait, no answer. It is admittedly probably quite loud inside, so in order to get someone’s attention I must knock harder, but I don’t really want to - it’s actually kind of painful. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. In reality I really just want to toss the roses in the nearest bin and run for my life. Yet for some reason I knock again, harder, to the rhythm of some old nursery rhyme. 10 seconds later, the door opens. It’s Philip, outfitted with a big smile and fancier clothes than mine - still I couldn’t be more fancily dressed whilst abstaining from expanding my wardrobe."

Anyone who actually writes in the 21st century is not into literature I believe. LARPers. Literature is done.

>LARPers
literally why is everyone with a hobby called a fucking larper on 4chins

Not everyone with a hobby, just people who attempt to roleplay something they're not. Like people with broadswords, lutes, mead, novels, etc.

The Alliance declares itself Pagan; it seeks the resuscitation of historic religions and the substitution of an agricultural society for a techno-industrial society.

Above all it wants the abolition of economic castes and the economic leveling of individuals of both sexes, and to obtain this goal, it demands above all the abolition of the right of inheritance, so that in future all should enjoy their productivity equally. All forms of capital should become the collective property of society as a whole, and should be used only by agricultural associations.

It wants equal means of development for children of either sex, from birth and for life. This will result more and more in the greater natural equality of individuals.

Above all it rejects any political action that does not have as its immediate and direct objective the triumph of international socialism over capitalism.

It recognises that all states of every land should disappear in to a universal union of free agricultural associations.

A real and definite solution to the social question can be found only on the basis of an international solidarity of workers of every land.

In short, it seeks the abolition of a techno-industrial society, the abolition of economic castes, the replacement of private with collective property, educational equality, international socialism and a stateless society.

Today I wrote this crappy poem while I was lying on my bed tryna overcome flu. I don't think I'll do anything out of it, so I'll just leave it here.

Because this site's a fucking cesspool filled with teenagers who are the embodiment of the "intelligent, nihilistic, with a wicked sense of humor" copypasta

You have to keep this pseudointellectual guard up at all times, because god forbid anyone actually criticises you, an anonymous poster, on here.

90% of the people on this site are the biggest fucking posers you'll ever meet. Really makes the "LARP" claims ironic when the people making them put on an autistic internet cool guy persona.

An academic novel and a short story collection on the law.

I'm trying to write rap lyrics that sound like "pure" poetry, what are you on OP?

should i write a book about

1. a pornographer in LA in a highly formalist style in a Gordon Lish style
2. A suburban family saga owing debts to Faulkner and Mann
3. A complexly plotted, zany story taking place in the suburbs owing debts to Nabokov and Coen bros.

Those all sound kind of gay
I'd say the first one though

damn, do they sound gay? They're supposed to be funny

I'd read this. I dig your voice.

How can I break away from the habit of writing about the same things over and over again?

idk maybe it's just the way you worded them, but for real I probably would read the first one, sounds actually quite funny, I was just being an edgelord

no I appreciate your honesty. I wouldn't have posted otherwise

this. post some my dude

I'm trying to write a Brideshead-esque teardown of contemporary college as being obsessed with appearances, pretension, and a constant glorification of poverty-stricken bohemian virtues. It's not going too great because the people I'm modeling the characters on are doing shit too stupid for an audience to believe.

>the people I'm modeling the characters on are doing shit too stupid for an audience to believe
please share

Ok, quick example. One of the people I know is an art major who actively models himself on Oscar Wilde. To the point where he openly admits he "adopted" bisexuality for the "aesthetic". So I was at the campus bar with him a few weeks ago and he legitimately says, out loud, that Jews can't be raped because they're all rich. A Jewish person sitting at the bar stands up and starts to try to punch him. They're both art majors, so it's exceedingly pathetic. It ends with both of them panting and the wannabe Oscar Wilde running off, saying he'll "Get you back for that."

That's the least weird incident I can remember off the top of my head.

write about different things

>Jews can't be raped because they're all rich

I would read the fuck out of that book

It's pretty bad. I'll post some that I like later

I'm writing a revisionist version of modern times that everyone will believe is truth in 50 years because the history of a moment is easily forgotten.

young adult/new adult fantasy with five plucky heroines. i'm not even joking.

It all depends on how antic you want it to be. If you wanted to use that you could go more along the lines of a Confederacy of Dunces rather than brideshead.

What are Veeky Forumss way of planning out a book? Do you just keep writing and inventing the story as you write or do have a set and stone Plan?

Would appreciate feedback on this if possible....

pastebin.com/pXjktabu

spend months creating all the characters and settings first and then never actually write a book

weak opening
so much info dumping
too many characters
seems like a rough draft

It is a rough draft...and also the first thing I've ever written. Do you have any constructive pointers for me

>reads Gaddis once

Hey Veeky Forums so far my novel contains three parts written in different ways: A series of journal entries, a series of letters, and then first person narration on the part of the guy who receives the letters.
Is this a bit too much? What d'yall think?

Something really weird and off-putting that's probably going to alienate me from my parents. Someone help me think of a pen name.

Story about courtly love, battle fatigue, and the divine right to rule.

Dressing all alone, quiet to the tone
Of a sunset

Calmly wind is blowing and your loneliness is showing
On a sunset

Loving just yourself, gazing at an empty shelf
When a sunset

Shatters foolish lies and reminds you of her eyes
Like a sunset

Maybe a cigar, maybe getting in your car, surely driving to the bar, watch the evening from afar, it'll rid you of that thought in the simple-minded lot you can call upon your shoulders

But now you know she's chosen, know the house in which she goes in, isn't near to where you met her, so you send her every letter that the heart can hardly muster, up the strength to write, the duster hangs, inviting

Courtney Matheson.

I'm assuming you're a guy, so if you really want to hide your tracks then make your pen-name be the opposite gender to what you are.

Or use a unisex name and drop hints that you're a guy/girl alternately in order to confuse people.

Or just use a string of binary as your pen-name.

Or publish it anonymously.

Or just use your real name. Probably won't be that bad so long as you're not writing child porn or something obviously immoral.

Is that a true story with the chick in the movie theatre? what happened?

...

Well in a discussion with someone online, they told me about how from the ages of 13-20 or so, she had a sexual relationship with her father. The crazy twist is that not only was it consensual but it was the best sex she'd ever had with a man and every man she had been with afterwards just couldn't compare to her dad. I found this story very intriguing. Of course, it's entirely possible she made it all up, in fact it's entirely possible she isn't even truly a 'she', but I found the concept so odd and 'out there' that I asked for all the detail I could think of and wrote down notes so that I could write a book about it. I question whether a book's ever been written in which there's daddy/daughter incest but without it being very rapey and making the daughter hate her dad. Though this woman's father is dead, she seems to still have plenty of respect for him, might even miss him.

That's being put aside though. I want to write something for NaNoWriMo but I want to take my time with this incest novel I started. I set it back in the 80s, having fun researching details of the time and including plenty of references, even looking at photos of students back in the day to see what sort of clothing was popular in the day.

Anyways, what will I write for this November thing? I still don't entirely know, but I think that incest one is going to be quite interesting. I'll probably resume working on that in December.

Mix them all. Make the pornographer struggling to straddle the line between work and family, striving for traditional suburban life with wife and kids, but then 'going to the office' every day, working late hours, dealing with the divas, coming up with porn ideas and running them by his wife, drawing out concepts and story boards, make him a millionaire but not totally high up, maybe approached mil, but not like the biggest companies, so more of a seedy company that does really gnarly stuff, pushing boundaries, weird fetishes, and he has to struggle with the girls always trying to flirt with him and offer him themselves and resisting the temptation to cheat.... but who knows what his wife is like, what she would think of that, if he is pushing her to be more experimental in their sex life.... if he invites her to set one day.... and then have one of his pornos, what he has been working on for sometime, magnus opus, win some most prestigious award, so then all the sudden he is flying around the world, invited to interviews, invited to dinners at billionaires homes with his wife, lavish parties, one of his actresses his having rough times so she needs a place to stay and asks if she can stay at his place... interactions with her and the wife and kids while he is at work, they bud relationships.

And you can use your own creativity to come up with detailing the 'magnum opus' porno and even include your own best erotic writing (as we know thats a strong suite for you), and then he crosses some other companies or porno boss, or flirts with someone elses girl, and to get revenge they start to entice his daughter to do porn.

wow good writing on Veeky Forums colour me impressed.

obsessive, consuming, transcendent love; an ego consumed; their love unreturned. heat. violence. power.

> porn
> prestigious award

Have you seen Lemon-Stealing Whores or the masterful work known as Man Pretends to Be Sick So He Can Be Admitted into the Hospital to Be Fucked in the Ass by the Doctor?

Absolutely amazing works, they deserve awards

>geg, picks 2 works out of the entire cannon which are lampooned for their low quality

And do you really think this little non point you bring up says anything against the rest of the bulk of the good ideas? And are you really not aware that there are many awards given in the porn industry and there are relative levels of prestige of them? (guess I have to explain this too: meaning, different amounts of money involved, attention, greater quantities of people with greater quantities of money involved)

So after that, any other snarky faulty baseless pointless meaningless critiques of my brilliant idea?

This colour stuff and gifs seem exactly the same as in 2016...

It's joke

Rap battling robots go on an adventure.

I've written a 6 stanza poem / short story about a boy who's going through benzodiazepine withdrawal. He and his old weathered father go for a walk in the snowy woods in the dead of winter while he's sick. The heart and soul of the piece is how he gains subtle but powerful encouragement from the flora and fauna around him, specifically the North American Beech Tree; a species which evolved in the tropics but is now trapped in the cold, continuing to hold onto its leaves even in the dead of winter. "It holds on because it remembers what once was, and because it knows what again will be." type of message.
Ultimately it's about the hidden strength in seemingly frail things, and the tremendous power that nature has to heal and uplift the sick.

I'm a filmmaking student and I'm going to direct this piece as a short 6 minute film during my spring semester.

I'm writing a novel called Edgelord Wizards of Vector Time - Tales of the Draconomicodex - Part 2 of the legend of ehy-'yauoieahh. It's about a gay nazi who uncovers the secrets of vectorial time, space aliens, magick, and whatever else I think of while I'm writing it.

Was worth a try.

That actually sounds really interesting. Don’t fuck it up.

Yeah some people are naturally gifted at things like observing relationships and communicating ideas in words, but for most people good writing takes years to develop. Your ability to write coherently and in a way that keeps people interested is something that can be improved if you accept criticism for your work, or even if you have a good enough eye and can look over your own stuff. I wouldn't really recommend the latter though, since people tend to either overrate or underrate themselves. If you're naturally talented it just makes the process shorter, but just because you aren't amazing on your first try doesn't mean you can't ever be good.

hit me up with that

Yeah, conceptualizing and writing is always easy; the execution will be a bit more difficult. The biggest obstacle is casting a middle aged man and an adolescent boy who are decent physical actors. The framing device is that the boy is healed and grown up, remembering back to this time in his life through a voiceover. That way we won't have to worry so much about capturing good audio when it comes to dialogue and can really focus in on the sounds of the environment.
I'll post a Vimeo link to Veeky Forums once it's done.

Nice. But I don’t keep track on Veeky Forums 24/7...

A longterm consensual father/daughter incestuous relationship that the mother is absolutely fine with but does not partake in.

You're not supposed to take 'write what you know' literally.

You'll have to wait for me to become a father, user.

have you heard of timecube

Stop wasting pages in that lovely muji notebook and write something worthwhile in it.

I want to start writing but I don't know how. I have an idea for a novel which I think is interesting. Any tips?

What is timecube?

What ideas do you have?
