How do you write?
I'm unable to write anything relatively long because every time I re-open the file of my story I realize it's shit and I have to re-write it. This goes for three or four days, until I realize there is no point and I will never write anything decent.
Should I edit only when it's finished?

In the Bible, was Jesus literally god i.e. god was fully on earth as Jesus, or were the 2 entities existing simultaneously?
>>7511208
Jesus is the Incarnation. As Jesus is/was the incarnation, he was the physical manifestation of the second person of the trinity, containing within himself both a fully divine and a fully human nature. Thus, yes, he was fully man, and fully God.
>>7511211
Sidenote: this is known as Hypostasis, it is one of the 'pillars' of Christianity. To not affirm hypostasis/the trinity is basically to not be a Christian, this doctrine was formulated at the council of Chalcedon and affirmed by most/all others.
>>7511211
But was god still outside of space and time sort of overseeing the events of Jesus on earth? Did gos in some way have to temporarily "abandon his throne" if you will, to incarnate himself and experience reality from the perspective of Jesus? Does that question make sense? The Trinity is highly confusing to me
Hey /lit/ I know this is odd but I'm interested in some books fiction or non-fiction about User Experience Design. Scratch that. Just Design(Architecture, Landscape, Urban etc etc... )
Thanks in advance.

The hell's User Experience Design?

Information Architecture and graphics on your gadgets.
What are in your opinion the best epistolary novels? I really liked Dracula and Collins' The Woman in White, but I'd love to read something more akin to a ship's log for example.
I dropped my captain's log on your mom's tits last night

Can any of you recommend me any good books? (Pref Fantasy or Drama). And is Harry Potter worth reading or is it shit?
>>7510959
Are those books a dry read or cool? I'm not that into historical books, I've read the odyssey and the iliad, and they where Ok.
>>7510976
Starting with the Greeks is a meme here.
I suggest you read the book Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. It is one of the best, if not the best, books of all time and I highly recommend it
Find a really shitty review of a book you like and post it. Other anons state how much you agree or disagree with the review.
>"Alternatively, some fans may find it tempting to argue “Well this media is a realistic portrayal of societies like X, Y, Z”. But when you say that sexism and racism and heterosexism and cissexism have to be in the narrative or the story won’t be realistic, what you are saying is that we humans literally cannot recognise ourselves without systemic prejudice, nor can we connect to characters who are not unrepentant bigots. Um, yikes. YIKES, you guys.
And even if you think that’s true (which scares the hell out of me), I don’t see you arguing for an accurate portrayal of everything in your fiction all the time. For example, most people seem fine without accurate portrayal of what personal hygiene was really like in 1300 CE in their medieval fantasy media. (Newsflash: realistically, Robb Stark and Jon Snow rarely bathed or brushed their teeth or hair). In real life, people have to go to the bathroom. In movies and books, they don’t show that very much, because it’s boring and gross. Well, guess what: bigotry is also boring and gross. But everyone is just dying to keep that in the script.
>Yikes
I don't think is person read the book.
Those books don't really shy away from talking about hygiene. It's not constant but that review makes it sound like there is nothing in there about how gross things are.

>there's literally an entire 300 page chapter describing daenerys taking a fat sloppy diarrhoea shit
This was a very weird book. It annoyed me how the perspective of the story changed frequently throughout the book. I was constantly confused whether Biblo was speaking in past or present. This book really got on my nerves for several reasons. Sorry, but I have to unleash some of my hatred for this book.
1) wow, I "love" how it is sooo convenient that they spontaneously keep running into giant spiders, evil elfs, goblins, giants etc. I know they need a climax and all, but seriously?
2. Okay, bilbo, you have a mother frickin wizard with you, why don't u ask him to like umm...help?
3. Biblo use your brain, I don't care if you have to build a plane, blimp, submarine or whatever. But really, don't you have a better way of transportation?
4. You are being counterproductive.
5. You are so self-conscious and un-confident.
6. Horrible character build up.
7. I have no idea what time period this is in? The future, the past? The present?
8. Use the stupid map bilbo, obviously we have access to the same, identical map.
9. Maybe you should of you know, done some research before you and your "friends" go stampeding into unknown territory?
10. Wow, how convenient that Gandalf happens to have elf buddies right where you and your missionary dwarfs are headed for.
11. Treasure? Really? Come on?
Idc if you disagree with my review, but I certainly hate this book.
What's something productive I can do with my hands while listening to audiobooks?
I've been playing casual games, but I feel like my time can be used more efficiently.

Is he underrated in modern academia?
no not really
>>7510538
Most people dismiss him entirely, despite having many good ideas, and the huge consequences of those ideas.
Because they don't realize that many modern ideas are based on his work.
They take him for granted basically
Merry third day of Christmas, /lit/. Why don't you come join us in our chat and have a comfy time with some fellow patricians? We talk about all kinds of things, from literature to everyday life matters. We're also starting a book club soon.
That's #/lit/ @ irc.rizon.net
Don't have a client? Use http://chat.mibbit.com/?channel=%23/lit/&server=irc.rizon.net
Pic related; there are /lit/erary grills in here, but we don't let that distract us from our books.
no thanks
I like to read true crime stories. Heh.
>>7510754
Why not, though?
We sometimes have tinychat chats that people seem to enjoy.
The IRC channel is just a more permanent version of it really. Lots of people idle there all the time and just check the window when they feel like reading/talking.
You're not committing to anything by dropping by.
An overrated classic?
A work of imagination and charm?
Thoughts?
>>7510500
Probably important for its time but honestly I could not finish it and I had like 50-60 pages left. So boring
boring af 2bh

I will agree, it has it's very dull moments. Such as when they first pass letters between Mina and Lucy....However, the language is beautiful through out the book. Very poetic.
ITT: funny books. No rules, really.
I'll start with Apuleius's Golden Ass. It's a story about a young man who plays with magic and gets metamorphosed into a donkey. The whole thing is hilarious. Lots of lewdness.
John Gall (if that is his real name) is a total maniac.
