Never much cared for the pulpiness of King, but I always really dug his creative prowess. Interesting points of advice, my big takeaway is 'do, and do often'

I think he didn't answer the fucking question. Does he keep a notebook or not?

No need for him to keep a notebook when all his shitty ideas just end up in a book. Editing also seems like something he can do without.

So I'm right to think none of you have heard of the author of "Tree of Man" and "The Vivesector"?

I'm stunned. You people need to read more.

I'm sure several of us have heard of him.
How about telling us what's so great about him. I've wondered about him.

IT'S THE YEAR 2015 AND YOU'RE STILL BUYING BOOKS?!

Give me a hint senpai, what are the initials of the author?

>>7424235
I have no idea. I'm completely in the dark.

Why are you so vain and superficial to care about what some random person on twitter posts?

Yeah sure.

read the sticky. poetry, novellas, short story, play sections

Stoner got me back into reading a while back. It's not very long at all.

>Believing a 10+ year old book should have to worry about spoilers

Darth Vader is Luke's father.

Anna Karenina is run over by a Train.
Ippolit kills Ostap but the jewels have already been found by others.

Personally I believe that only severely unintelligent people are bothered by spoilers

It's like, if you read the book and read it a second time, could you not enjoy it even though you know what happens?

>>7424066
why not

intellectual curiosity and one's own memories and experiences are a larger factor than current physical location, i like to believe

although traveling is good for these things, i think it's more to explore the world and build your internal language than finding some ideal spot for writing that probably doesn't exist

Affect.

faggot ass niger

>Does the physical location of a writer effect the quality of what that writer will create?
possibly. Location affects your education, experiences, and culture which influences a lot of how you perceive the world.That is all to say this isn't particularly true if you are more curious than others in your area and read,travel, etc.
>Will someone living in Springfield, Illinois be able to write as well as someone living in Rovaniemi, Lapland?
that is dependent on the person.

Because the Greek ones are good and not masturbation aids for teenage self esteem. Thanks for playing, now get out.

>>7424012

What were the Greek legends if not masturbation aids for old men attempting to give human flaws to the divine beings they thought ruled over them?

"The labourers have the most enormous power in their hands, and, if they once became thoroughly conscious of it and used it, nothing would withstand them; they would only have to stop labour, regard the product of labour as theirs, and enjoy it. This is the sense of the labour disturbances which show themselves here and there.

The state rests on the – slavery of labour. If labour becomes free, the state is lost." - Max Stirner

Got a link :3 ?

>>7424004
Found one site a long time ago that had a long list of prompts and requirements, pay and deadlines. Considered writing smut in a wild west setting, decided I was too inexperienced, dropped it.

> books give you all the perspective on the world you need
> i prefer books to people

From these commonly heard arguments we can infer that:
> a) bookworms think they're special for consuming a medium
> b) they're no better than gamers, basement dwellers and other media addicts, netting the same result of isolating themselves from social interaction by consuming their time with media, even though they often criticize these other media addicts

How do you mean? Only some books are and only by some people.

People tend to take things more seriously if they're written in a book despite this not really being a reason it would be more legit than anything else

How much would all of that cost, anyway?

All the good novelists do that except Stephen King, maybe not in one binge

A lot.

Me, sort of.

There is no perfect objective measure of good, so greater good is a bit of a crazy ideal, but I feel it is a beautiful thought.

Oh, and did I mention what an insightful work "An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation" was?

You can do whatever you want. Fight the instincts that tell you to do nothing or just accept you'll never do anything. It's as simple as getting up and doing it, even though there is something telling you not to.

No need to pepe rage.

The fact that you procrastinate uncontrollably, post frog pictures and suspect yourself of genius tells me that you are, in fact, a deluded fucking moron.

I liked the part where he killed himself.

(Its in the sequel)

I enjoy the part where he highlights what its like to argue with communists, pretty funny

And his military exploits, motivating lazy soldiers to smarten the fuck up

His love-hate yaoi relationship with Wittgenstein
