Ask a Norwegian guy who is going to spend a whole year by himself in a cabin writing a novel anything
what are those books on the shelf>>8135890
>>8135890
Do you worry about leaving your many friends and girlfriend behind?
What makes you think your book will be good enough to get published?
>>8135896
I am very self-confident, despite my frequent collapses into apathy and self-loathing, and I already had one book accepted by a publishers but I withdrew it from consideration.
>>8135890
How will you survive?
Explain what you mean by living in a cabin.
Are you literally just living in a cabin? Are you living alone? Will you have access to telecommunications devices like smartphones or the internet? Do you have a picture of the cabin.
Are you going full Walden aka full retard bc Thoreau omitted the part where his mom was secretly bringing him baskets of cookies every week the lying faggot.
>>8135907
The cabin was left to my family by my grandparents. Nobody else wishes to use it (though they will visit from time to time) so I have decided to take it for a year with my parents' wishes. I have money from my full-time work to buy groceries and so on.
>>8135908
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?
>>8135919
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
>>8135911
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?
>>8135928
>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?
>>8135928
can i come visit?
>>8135921
Maybe there are other Norwegians here, maybe some people have questions about Norway.
>>8135922
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
>>8135923
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?
>>8135928
You're really spending a lot of time shilling yourself and your cabin on this board, anon. Maybe you should get off /lit/ and start actually writing.

You are a disgrace to a human race.

>>8135890

>>8135957
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.
>>8135959
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.
>>8135965
I enjoy attention but also I feel like people here might be interested and thus the board will have improved a little.

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.
>>8136070
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
>>8136074
Oh yeah because someone who resorts to isolating themselves in a cabin is a bastion of self discipline
Fuck out of here
>>8136081
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.
>>8136085
>How do you go 10 years without doing anything productive at all?
If you need to ask this you clearly need more life experience
>>8136074
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.
>>8136085
"Today was a waste, but I'll really be productive tomorrow" - repeat ten years. Such is the unemployed life.
>>8136087
It's not isolation with internet and a phone
>>8136087
>If you'd read Nietzsche
Hoh bois, this is a lark
>>8135890
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.
>>8136087
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.
>>8136098

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.
>>8136126
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.

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?
>>8136330
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.
>>8136313
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.

>>8136375
>thinking this worthless faggot has a job
I wonder if he ever even got a degree
>>8136338
This isn't me (OP)
>>8136330
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 4chan 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 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.

>>8136438
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.

Interesting, thank you. I must confess I have read some Wittgenstein but barely understood what I read, beyond the point that language is a form of game and that it relies on tacit social contracts in order to function (an important word I take it) properly. I have read Broom Of The System by David Foster Wallace and found it very entertaining (and a little intimidating) but again the Wittgenstein aspects of the novel were something I appreciated only on a superficial level.
>>8136563
I doubt it if I am honest. I am already beyond normal in my thinking, which I accept. The time I feel most "insane" is when I am forced to be around other people. In isolation I experience a serenity that I crave for whenever it is denied me.

You realize thats because you get feedback and recognize you're a sperg with poor social developement
>>8136602
Spergs wouldn't recognize that. Regardless, wanting to be alone and thriving in solitude isn't pathological or inherently troublesome. Americans in particular and people in general have a tendency to conflate introversion and preferance for solitude with 'social anxiety' or other mental issues.

This is that 100 post anon again.
Newfags, there is a poster who constantly creates really elaborate schemes to mess with people by getting them to feel sympathy for his character and then slowly dissolve into autism, it usually always begins with calling himself a genius (I've noticed this pattern) he used to joke about his 6 volume memoir or this time that he paid a publisher to publish his book and he scheduled a book signing at a barnes and noble where only his mom came and bought 3 copies of the book. He does this because he's admitted he has nothing else in life and gets some sort of pleasure out of it, anyway, he had me going for a little bit until I saw him descend into cunty autism but the nail in the coffin is this quote that he always uses when people ask to see his writing in these threads (because it's pretty good but it comes from an archived post from years ago back when warosu was up, someone else found that one out, he usually takes any written material from past critique threads but almost always this one):
>"Magnus realized, with a sort of laugh, that every joke he had recently heard had been told by himself, to himself, and at his own expense."
Anyway OP, you should really find something else to occupy your time if this is all you really have.

if you're writing fiction you should write to market
that way you can make a living doing it
you may think you're one of those people who will not sell themselves out, writes from the heart, will 'bleed onto the page' and so on and so on
in that case you should write non-fiction
it is direct, a better mode of delivery
you're probably too much of a pussy to do this, or you are too young and don't have enough self-awareness and knowledge to produce anything of value
my guess is you are some faggot kid who wants recognition as an edgy, angst-ridden, suffering author

I can relate to a lot of what you're saying, which makes neither of us special. Now I'm not going to Chad out and tell you "Nah, you just can't get pussy" or that you're a prick for calling yourself a genius, but, believing you are not delusional in the way you describe yourself, I do have two suggestions:
1. Do spend time with some girl, if only to be more a part of the world you're attempting to describe. You may be surprised what it teaches you.
2. You'll lose nothing by assuming that your intelligence and perceptual abilities are merely average. Even if they're in fact above average, there's fierce competition in any league, and the difference between winners and losers is in the work. Work hard.

The comment was on the poor writing.

Perhaps just write a fictional experience about being socially isolated in a cabin and having fluctuating self-esteem?

Screw the naysayers, OP. Forget about them. Just remember to put all your passion and effort into your work of sorts.
>>8136034
>Retarded
Or, you know, just ill informed. Enjoy your cabin you pretentious little shit. I'm sure it won't make you any less of a friendless loser with nothing to say worth writing.
Why don't you make this thread after you actually do it. Oh because you're not going to.

Both those points are retarded on a literature board bro. Read some book, Walden's only 384 pages and I'm p sure he explains the deal with the cabin in the first 5 or so.
>>8139539
>only 284 pages
That's like 20 hours of my life. Any books over 200 pages I just read the wikipedia or sparknotes instead.
Get to the point!

>i have access to the internet
embarrassing. go hard or go home
This seems like a good idea OP
Even if the novel won't get pubblished (wich i hope that doesen't happen) i can still read it for you, i personally find a better idea to not have an internet connection, but i feel you and i understand why do you want to keep it
I hope that many good ideas and insipiration comes to you OP, have a good time
PS that kind of thing is pretty popular in Italy, but rarely brings anything good, but you'll be an exeption, i'll pray for you

Heisann. Norsk her også. Jeg gjorde det omvendte av deg; gav ut en eksperimentell, "kunstnerisk" roman på et medium forlag, og nå skriver jeg en YA-roman.
>>8139660
Genuinely curious. Why do you (and others in this thread) feel so motivated to ridicule OP when he's a shitposter at worst and an ambitious if deluded writer at best?
I really don't understand why people are reacting with such hatred and bitterness when this idea seems pretty normal to me. Many writers take a year out to do an MFA, others like Lovecraft and Carver etc just avoided work whenever they could and for as long as they could.
>>8135954
>The book begins with the story of a young boy who is taken by his mother to a hospital of sorts
If that's how you write, good fucking luck my man!
>>8135954
>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
What did he mean by this?

>Many writers take a year out to do an MFA, others like Lovecraft and Carver etc just avoided work whenever they could and for as long as they could.
i'm not sure how you think these are comparable to a wealthy, first-world country, norwegian boy, who likes the idea only of being a writer, rather than actually writing.
i'm not motivated to ridicule OP, besides even if I was, what of it? there's no reason, neither am I bitter or hateful, I think it is a dumb idea which a young boy got into his head because as I said before he likes the idea of being a writer
>>8139738
He already said he's not wealthy tho. And that he's already written two books.
Just seems weird not to encourage him or just ignore him. Chances are his book will flop even if he does write something but personally I admire his ambition and the risk he's taking.

>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.

>n April 1900, Sinclair went to Lake Massawippi in Quebec to work on a novel. He had a small cabin rented for three months and then he moved to a farmhouse
Interesting
>>8139800
You see, he can say "not wealthy" over and over but having the ability to ditch work for A YEAR says otherwise.
>>8139800
>doing nothing for a year but chill and do fuckall

Pretty much anyone can do that in Scandinavia because the nordic model is verifiably the greatest state system on the planet.

Makes sense, I avoid writing because myprose comes across as juvenile shitposting. Everyone else seems to love it and says I have a beautiful way of words but I can't fucking stand it.

Living in your grandparents' cuck shed isn't a sign of wealth you bitter loser.
There are far more wealthy people clinging to college and taking degree after degree with their parents' money.

He already said he's writing a novel.
>supermarket food
That could just mean tinned food and rice. He's like 26 and he has had a job for however many years. It's really not that hard to save a little money and sustain yourself for a year.
>>8139975
