>not scribbling you magnum opus line by line in random toilet cubicles across the globe in the hope that one day an international effort to piece together your fragmented masterpiece is realised and you are immortalised forever as the true father of literature

Can't you just memorize the piece and then dictate it to one of your daughters while lying in bed smoking?

>spending more time formatting
Nigga you were doing it wrong, LaTeX does it all for you thats the whole point, you write a chapter tag and it will automatically be added to de index and will get the corresponding font and size, use the sources tag and it will be added automatically to the sources page, same shit with everything else.

Shut the fuck up faggot

Kafka pls

Unless you're writing a screenplay, use notepad++ or zenwriter

Better yet, become blind as a bat from years of poring over old texts and propagandasing for a Puritan rebellion, calling for the execution of the king. Then when the king returns and your life is spared by a mix of good connections and good fortune, make up the greatest poem ever written in the English language and get your two daughters to write it down as you dictate.
