And you, /lit/? What is the cynical nihilistic truth behind your literature?
It's fun :)

Nothing is fun in the world, Anon.
You just tolerate the awfulness in it a bit better.
Writing something I know to be good makes me feel more alive than anything else in the world.

I feel good and joyful when I write. I have the feeling that I am achieving something great.
And then I read what I wrote...
I might aswell have spent the previous four hours shitting on the paper. At least it'd tire the brain a lot less.
I want to write a novel but without planning to show it to anyone. I like the creative process and the feeling of achievement when you're working towards something. When I was younger, I used to copy out bits from writers I liked just so I could feel what's like to write those words in that order like the author did. It's also partially that, I want to know what it feels like to write something like that, regardless of how good it actually is.

Because I'm a pessimistic ALCOHOLIC with a long term continuous existential crisis. What the fuck else am I going to do?

I like the idea of creating a coherent and well-structured piece of something that started as sporadic fragments of ideas within my imagination. I imagine it's what a chef feels like after inventing a great dish, or Alexander when he. stood looking over the rooftops of Babylon

That's okay, anon. Samuel Clemens didn't like writing either and people loved his book!

I assume there's some hidden jibe in there I'm not seeing but either way I take it as a compliment. that guy was a clever writer, even if he didn't see the humorous appeal of cycling rapidly between levels of verbal formality
To slather minds with the nicotine distilled filtrations of my pain.
I don't
Calms my mind
Much better option than playing through that immense backlog that I impulse bought on steam a while ago if I'm not studyingit being a better option sadly doesn't mean I do it most of the time though
>>7817071
Cant really imagine doing anything else, plus it gives me a certain rush I cant get from other things.

Because I'm a utilitarian at heart and I want to serve culture.I also feel that I have to live up to all of the prizes that I was awarded for it when I was younger and enjoyed it, and all of the praise that I received from my Mother.
It's the only way I can canalize ideas and concepts so I can get them out of my head while creating something.
It's good to see myself improve, and it makes me feel I'm able of being positively productive in some way.
It's the most rational way to make all of the time I spend reading somewhat useful.

Man I just warmed my heart a bit thinking of some thirty year old anon, legs hanging from the lip of the bathtub, all pink from the warmth of the water just fiddling with some rubber ducky
