Hey /lit/, can I implore you guys to help me polish up a short story? This is going to be a major component in a business proposal for my cafe. I need it to invoke the feeling of escaping to your favorite cafe in a small busy suburb. But my writing is terrible. I haven't written in years so pls no bully ;-;

I went to McDonald's today and got a Filet-O-Fish combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. I was eating it in my vehicle in the parking lot and listening to an audio book when I glanced up and saw the McDonald's worker I ordered from outside having a cigarette.

She waved at me and I nodded and had to wait 7 minutes before she went back inside and I could eat in comfort again. I don't think that employees should be bothering or even trying to socialize with customers outside of the McDonald's restaurant or drive through, but that is another story.

I went to McDonald's for dinner tonight and got a McChicken combo with a bacon cheeseburger on the side. As I was driving to the second window the same girl was still working. She was acting somewhat obsequious and attempting small talk when she asked, 'why don't you come eat inside instead of in the parking lot where it is cold'.

That really bothered me for many reasons. First of all, I don't want my routine or actions to be tracked by a fast food employee. Secondly, she should not try to tell me how I should live my life. I do not want to eat inside because I find it less comfortable and would much rather be inside my vehicle listening to an audiobook and enjoying myself and my privacy.

How do you feel about eating in your vehicle in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant versus eating inside the restaurant?

This is it /lit/, the time to make a choice! You are locked in a room for the rest of eternity, you are allowed to bring one book with you. What is it?

I didn't finish it.

Did any of you?

Thoughts?

I'd give my two cents but I'm not even close to being an avid reader and I don't believe I would have anything of value to say.

Any one out here uses the Kobo store?

If so, how does it work? If I buy a book there, will it always be associated with my account for me to download it whenever I want?

Also, I'm also thinking about ordering a Kobo Glo HD from their website. Are they reliable and fast in shipping them?

Hey /lit/,
I'm looking to do a PhD in Old Norse. I have a BA in History and Archaeology and a MA in Medieval Icelandic. Can any of you guys recommend me a university to study? Also, any suggestions for a thesis topic (I'm particularly interested in Kings' Sagas, Sagas of Icelanders, Runology, and pre-Christian Religion)?

The reviewer gave me a 4/10, which is basically toilet-tier, even though it seemed like they liked parts of it. I've had really positive feedback up to now, and don't think any less of my own stuff - but I don't know, feel like a dumb ass.

Anybody else get bad reviews on their first shit? Feel like I've been punched in the gut and know I'm being a pussy but can't help it.

Who has stories of first-work reviews?
