I mean general-purpose websites, journals or publishers -- not non-fiction-based racism outlets, which I'm sure some unimaginative smartass is going to link anyway
All of them, but only if it's racist against whites.

Some unwritten rules about poetry:
1-Although rhythm, assonance, alliteration (the whole question of musicality, and even rhyme, when it comes to rhyming poetry) are important, and although the feeling or idea that the poem communicates is a valid and significant thing, it is the metaphor and the imagery the greatest aspect of poetry. Young poet, above all other things, work on your imagery.
2- Having in mind the rule nº 1, it must be said that you can produce good poems without using metaphors, but if you do not master this tool and use it frequently in your...

Not high, just sleepy as fuck. Woke up a few minutes ago. I am drinking strong coffee right now.

This is right, actually
When was the last time you wrote someone a letter that wasn't a formal school/company requirement?
I plan to write a letter to an important friend for their birthday and it's kind of important to me that I write a good one for them.
Do you have any tips /lit/?
Well first of all , we shoul talk about the form.
Use proper Paper, a ink pen (black ink of course) , leave a margin of about 2 cm on each side (left and right) while writing. try to "block" it.
Here is how I write: Bic pen on notebook paper. Preferably crumpled a bit so it looks authentic.
Yo,
AS I PUT MY PEN TO PAPER...
Then just whatever you want, who gives a shit? It's a letter, not a state of the union address. Finish it off by putting it in the envelope, melting some red crayon wax on it, and then sealing it like that. Don't forget to fuck your mailman.
I wrote letters to my friend when they were doing their military service.
My problem is my penmanship is atrocious but I don't ever write except notes to myself so I never cared to correct it.
Is it better to read On the Soul before On Interpretation?
I ask because of the reference to On the Soul at the beginning of On Interpretation.
>that cover
>>7689017
I've just finished interpretations - no.
As a logical system Aristotle intends the Organon to be complete and self subsistent. He doesn't mention the soul after the part you're referencing.

If you had to write a 400 word SENTENCE with no grammatical errors, how would you do it?

Am I just missing something with this guy or are meditations 3-6 just shite?
>>7686216
No one gives a shit about the later part of that book. Just think of him as the dude who said, "Woah, what if like, the world is just an illusion, man. Good thing I know I'm real lol." That's literally all you need to know.
>>7686229
Don't forget his famous proposition "Give her the dick"
>>7686216
You're missing something. If you have a jstor account, look up Richard Kennington, and any of his articles on Descartes.
Can hip-hop have literary merit?
cuck music
Of course it's possible.
>>7705863
no. It has neither literary, musical or artistic merit in any way. I hate the way they keep trying to shove it down our throats. Just like Jazz and Rock back in the day, it represents a further degradation of music as an artform. do yourself a favor and go listen to Bach. that is real music
what do you guys think about ta nehisi coates?
Ape tier.
>>7704373
He's a meme-"intellectual" who's thought of as a genius by default by the black community because there's no one else who's really talking about the same things as he is. It wouldn't be hard to do better, but no one in a position to be heard seems to care enough to do it.
>>7704373
Just as he was gaining cultural traction as "the only black author with pretensions of literary greatness"NOT a view I shareMarlon James came and blew him out of the water.
Why the FUCK

Why is Yukio Mishima the only well-respected author who seems to have written about strength training?
Is there nothing from Ancient Athens about it?

so what's the premise of your opus magnum that you'll write once your writing skills are good enough?
If your premise isn't to finish philosophy and political philosophy in favour of materialism and globalism then you are wrong
A strange journey across the deep future of the world in which everything has a double meaning, in which all learning to this point is included, and in which all things are directed, subtly but persistently, towards God.

Can an author get sued if he includes the names of real people in his work?
I'm currently writing the fifth installment of my six-part memoir and the word count has already reached 512k words. So far I've been using the real names of the people in my life though after reading an article about Thomas Wolfe recently I'm beginning to worry about potential legal action when my book inevitably becomes culturally significant and widely read.
Should I change the names to pseudonyms?
If so it's going to take many days to find and replace hundreds...

YOU CAUGHT MY ATTENTION THIS TIME BECAUSE YOU USED PEPE
JUST CHANGE THE NAMES. YOU'VE ALREADY SPENT DAYS WRITING THE DAMN THING
>>7703245
>DAYS
I've spend over a year and a half writing it so far, with at least six hours of each day dedicated to it. It really will be a large revision project and I'm really not sure whether I should just trust my instincts and use any potential legal problems as a marketing tool in order to add even more "hype" to the eventual publication.

I'm halfway into this and so far it's brilliant. What does /lit/ think?
Masterpiece, some say it's the best novel written in Spanish since Don Quixote.
25% of the way into it according to my kindle, started yesterday and I knew I'd like it from the first chapter, it's brilliant
the first half is great, but everything after that is bitterly disappointing
/lit/ What is art?
I'm being serious to please try to give an actual response. I have to write an essay in response to this question tomorrow and I'm an alcoholic who procrastinated while reading too much Dostoyevsky.
An why should we foster your addiction? Get your shit together.
>>7699418
Please, everything in my life has fallen apart
>>7699439
Time to rebuild it. Part of getting your shit together is to not run away from your responsibilities anymore, so why not write this essay on what Art is, and start anew?
