Ask a Norwegian guy who is going to spend a whole year by himself in a cabin writing a novel anything

No way. I mean I have self-esteem already, it's just not very consistent. S

What relevance does it have that you're Norwegian?

any details about the book?

Its not consistent because you don't give it any firm foundation, you rest it on an ideal image of yourself as an artist but when that becomes broken in your eyes you resent the identity that rests on in the eyes of your family and society

I'll be living in a cabin overlooking the water, left to me by my grandparents.

I will be living alone.

I will have access to the internet.

No I am not copying Walden, and the place has a washing machine and running water etc. It's not a hunting cabin.

I'm heterosexual.

ska du spise en guleböj?

>I'm heterosexual

I never asked you your sexual orientation, you must have something to prove I bet you're gay you look gay fuck you

What's the closest store? Are you a vegetarian? Can you grow vegetables or fruits? Do you plan on hunting or fishing or foraging?

can i come visit?

Maybe there are other Norwegians here, maybe some people have questions about Norway.

The book begins with the story of a young boy who is taken by his mother to a hospital of sorts, which we eventually find out is a hospital of sorts (it is an derelict seaside camp which has been turned into a specialist hospital for young people) for young people who for whatever reason are incapable of being around other people. Occasionally, as in the case of the young boy, this inability manifests itself via physical deformities or maladies. One of the children, who suffers agoraphobia so intense that he is only able to leave the indoors by being carried around in a windowless lectica, is introduced to virtual reality as part of his treatment. The protagonist and his peers at the camp / hospital also discover it and sneak in to the arcade (different parts of the former holiday camp are now in use by the "hospital") to use the virtual reality hardware, which is clearly in its early stages of being developed. The book later moves onto when this young boy is a man, and after an incident takes place (which actually happened to me IRL and which inspired this whole story) he abandons society and moves to a religious monastery which, having been abandoned with the rapid decline of religious belief,, has been turned into a home of sorts to other men who for whichever reason long to escape society, and who pay for the utilities and so on by creating virtual reality software then sold on the blackmarket (not sick stuff, though that exists of course). Eventually the long-term plan of those at this monastery, which is just one of many hundreds around the world (Japan, Europe, North America etc), becomes apparent, and he is faced with the dilemma of pursuing the ultimate abandonment of the real world (which is really just a server on which we have all spawned) or whether he is able to find anything of value in it which would encourage him to remain. In such a short form it perhaps seems boring or something, but I am still going to write it. I have written over 89,000 words of notes for it already.

Are you writing in Norwegian?

What do you think about Knausgaard?

Why are you not blond?

Hur har du tänkt överleva? Hur mycket pengar krävs det för att leva i en stuga i ett år? Har du besparingar eller har du ärvt pengar?

Before I saw this thread I didn't think nu-males were real and I had nothing against white people. Now I'm an Afrocentrist and I hate liberals. Thanks op you enormous, low test faggot

Not really, as being an "artist" is impossible outside of the definition of just someone who creates art. I am not very bohemian either.

Why are you an attention whore, seeking attention for something you haven't even done yet? Is it validation you're looking for?
Would you please fuck off?

You're really spending a lot of time shilling yourself and your cabin on this board, user. Maybe you should get off Veeky Forums and start actually writing.

ITT: privileged millennial begging for attention.
You are a disgrace to a human race.

Do you not have auto focus?

The closest store is around two miles away in a small village. Haugesund will have the nearest supermarket.

If you are male: no

If you are female: perhaps

Youll always be an imitation of what you strive to be you fucking insincere faggot. Fraud.

Can I come visit? I'll bring booze.

Yes I am writing in Norwegian.

Knausgaard is an interesting writer, I like the way he is able to communicate emotion and significance using rather basic and straightforward language.

Neither of my parents are blonde.

I have worked full-time since leaving university (I'm 24) and the cabin was left to me by my grandparents. The only money I will have to pay is for utilities and groceries, and also travel costs. I am not wealthy and neither is my family. One of the reasons I have been working full-time in a job that isn't desirable is because I am so afraid of being financially unstable like my parents have been a lot.

I enjoy attention but also I feel like people here might be interested and thus the board will have improved a little.

I'm Norwegian

If you are a male: no

If you are a female: perhaps

Are you Norwegian? Pls confirm because you know fjords, chill and stuff.

lel

What about me can I come visit?

Are you balding or was your hairline always on the top of your head?

>mfw this is basically a disguised version of a Swedish cuck shed

I don't see how your blogposting about a book you haven't written and something you probably aren't even doing is enriching the board at all.

Are you male or are you female?

>Are you going full Walden aka full retard bc Thoreau omitted the part where
He regularly went into town, it wasn't an isolationist project and you are retarded if you think that.

OP is cute :3

Yeah too bad he'll be in his shack while Jamal is fucking Elena

Favorite writers?

>I will have access to the internet.
You're going to fail.

This will end in suicide.

this is so fucking funny.

Never change Veeky Forums

Tor Ulven
Paul Celan
Thomas Wolfe
Rilke
Dostoevsky

I can't read and write all day every day. I will spend some time posting on Veeky Forums of course. I will perhaps take some photos too if anybody would be interested to see them.

Oh wow

When will the year start?

Look up the first one - it's suicide

August I will move there with my things.

Just looked up the second one

kannst du deutsch oder liest du rilke und celan übersetzt?

You're just going to NEET it up for a year, being in a cabin won't change that. I've been NEET for nearly 10 years now and have done absolutely nothing productive in that time despite telling myself I would.

>I can't read and write all day every day.
Sure you can, as for reading at least. That's what you have to do if you want to create something great.

Stop projecting your lack of self-discipline

Since this is clearly a facebook thread what do you think I should have for dinner tonight guys

Oh yeah because someone who resorts to isolating themselves in a cabin is a bastion of self discipline
Fuck out of here

How do you go 10 years without doing anything productive at all?

Broken glass

You've already outed yourself as a worthless NEET. If you'd read Nietzsche (at the very least) you'd understand the benefits of writing in isolation.

>How do you go 10 years without doing anything productive at all?

If you need to ask this you clearly need more life experience

If you have self-discipline you wouldn't need to isolate yourself in a cabin in the first place. The only times I've ever been productive is when I force myself to quit using the internet and other distraction. Having your own cabin and a year of free NEET time is a great opportunity, don't waste it.

"Today was a waste, but I'll really be productive tomorrow" - repeat ten years. Such is the unemployed life.

It's not isolation with internet and a phone

>If you'd read Nietzsche

Hoh bois, this is a lark

OP, HEY OP.

You will not be writing anything. Clearly you are too narcissistic about the entire idea of spending a year alone writing. This is just a way for you to hit on girls. You are going to take selfies, drink and perhaps write some mediocre fucking prose.

I understand fully mate, and can offer you my own perspective, which is why I recommend that you truly do write in isolation and remove all distractions from your life so you can focus on your goal.

>all this normie projection

Hilarious

>Hytte klemt midt imellom vanlige hus
Om du har hytte et sted i ingemannsland ved grensa som f.eks Engerdalen hadde det vært sann hytteopplevelse.

Har du kontakt med presse eller noen slags gruppe? Sikkert en god del folk som ville ha vært interessert i å skrive om det du gjor. God PR vil jeg anta. Kan også hende du sitter riktig fast med skjegget i postkassa dersom du ikke holder mål.

Jeg er interessert i å folge med. Lykke til!

Har aldri sett andre nordmenn her... Hvordan havnet du på /lit?

>i-it won't happen to me if I call it projection

>I already had one book accepted by a publishers but I withdrew it from consideration
Why?

I am a private person and don't really want any attention outside of Veeky Forums . Thank you.

Er du på spekteret? Hvorfor droppa du ut av universitetet?

stay warm, pupper

Stop caring so much what people think about your little endeavor. There's not going to be anyone with you to be impressed and when you get out a year later finished novel or not and start talking about it all the time you're only going to seem like a douche. Who hasn't been anywhere or done anything for a year.

I have explained before, basically it was written in a "young adult" style in about two months and I didn't want to rush and represent myself poorly. I could perhaps have written under a pseudonym but the actual story itself repulsed me and the idea of encouraging people to read it and seek some sort of value in it was not one I liked. I admit at times I have regretted not simply allowing it to be published to see how much money it made and to have my name in print but still.

I have not been diagnosed with autism.

I don't talk about my ambitions with people in real life.

You should check yourself too, man.

>spekteret
Is that autism?

>that hair
>those eyes
I thought Norwegians were supposed to be Aryan.

How do you sit down and write a novel?

I hear you're not supposed to start out with a theme in mind, because then you just end up with something like the fucking Handmaid's Tale. But then, how do you know which details to include in your novel, and what specific small information to give the reader, and what to emphasize?

The way I do it is I write scenes out that appear interesting to me, from there I can develope characters from their invovlement in their scenes and in turn interesting ideas for positions I can place these characters in come to me, themes tend to develope themselves from there.

Basically I think you have to feel like the novel is writing itself, you just have to put yourself in a place where it can flow from you.

I would recommend that you refrain from mocking my physical appearance. I have received innumerable looks of desire from the opposite sex and have often noticed the gaze of an attractive girl directed towards me, often when I am facing away from them and allowing them only a view of my profile. Even my second-cousin said out loud in a way I heard that I was "so handsome" in 2009, and my own mother tells me often that my looks are "wasted" due to my decision to pursue the noble endeavor of literary success rather than allow the success of my existence to be based on the number of orifices I penetrated and who these orifices belong to. Under certain artificial lights at certain times of the day I am overwhelmed with romantic desire, perhaps because I recognize that in evolutionary and biological terms I would make a very great mating partner for a girl who possesses a similar degree of attractiveness, and who would bear children that would no doubt be beautiful and healthy themselves should I procreate with her. In school many girls expressed their attraction towards me, though failed to realize that my lack of social grace and reclusive behavior was not in fact mysteriousness as they appeared to imagine. One even described me as a "dark horse" and implied she would like to be my girlfriend but I was driven away by the artistic impulse. I read that Nietzsche did a similar thing on at least one occasion, when a beautiful girl recognize his genius and offered herself to him, he responded by finding a toad and rushing to her room in order to give it to her so that she would stop distracting him from his artistic pursuits. Genius lends a certain "look" in the eye of its possessor, and even if you are correct in accusing me of being physically ugly when my eyes meet the eyes of most girls I can tell right away that they recognize in my eyes a depth they will never be able to gauge but which they secretly long, with great passion, to descend into.

"the spectrum"

Are you quitting your job to do this? Or can you work from home/the cabin? Or are you guaranteed to get your old job back when you return?

Is this recent pasta?

>thinking this worthless faggot has a job

I wonder if he ever even got a degree

This isn't me (OP)

Fortunately for myself I don't need to sit down and encourage a false sense of enthusiasm in a potential novel. I am overwhelmed by such ideas almost on a daily basis. I am a keen observer of the outside world and due in part to my detachment from it I can understand things in a way that is not hindered, as the understanding often is, by direct emotional investment or from being "inside" the thing I am trying to comprehend. I also understand the dominant themes in contemporary culture and thanks in part to my time on Veeky Forums I myself have become something of a representative of modern ideologies, though again lacking a stable identity or character as I do I am never fooled into simply playing out social modes or reflecting contemporary attitudes but instead transcend them, allowing my mind to analyze in private all it observes and then producing at last some synthesis of all I have experienced, which in turn, when written down and aided by long study of the literary tradition, appeal not only to contemporary readers who will view me as something of a "voice" of their generation but also by future readers will see, regardless of their own cultural context slash atmosphere, something in my work which will appeal to them as human beings, to the fundamental aspect of our shared nature. I could post examples of why this is true, and how I have seen the things I have written about in the past suddenly becoming a topic of conversation now years later. What's more, I am very confident in my ability to comprehend what the teleological end of current social and cultural ideologies will be. Needless to say, this immense knowledge and powerful articulation of thought has made me grievously unhappy, and those women I do allow to look into my eyes and notice the genius that resides within are far too intimidated to ever talk to me, and use gossip and rejection as a means of distancing themselves from a force they know they cannot properly accommodate.

I am quitting my job to do this. I am currently figuring out if it will be available in a year's time.

I have both a degree and a full-time job.

>I am a keen observer of the outside world and due in part to my detachment from it I can understand things in a way that is not hindered, as the understanding often is, by direct emotional investment or from being "inside" the thing I am trying to comprehend.

Oh dear, you have a lot to learn son

Right o.

>I am quitting my job to do this

What did you work as?

You're lucky I didn't bring my ssd full of fedora pictures to work, kid

I work with computers.

Why are you trying to be the next bon Iver? Hipster schlicks over. No one cares because it's in authentic and everyone knows it

I dislike the music of Bon Iver. I am not trying to adopt a pose of authenticity. An opportunity became available to spend a year alone to focus on my writing and I have decided to take it. If this results only in a year of depression and continued obscurity then so be it, I accept that this is far more likely the case.

I'm guessing thats a dignified way of saying you're low tier IT
