Why are notable young authors almost non-existent? Age or life experience shouldn't be a deciding factor into what makes an author great.

>he doesn't know that you'll never be great if you aren't published and acclaimed by age 25
Luna Miguel, I know you're reading this. Don't post in here, you have NO DISCERNIBLE TALENT.
>>8079583
It depends on the circumstance
>>8079583
The best authors have read a lot. The majority of under 25s haven't read enough, have read a lot of shit, or are doing English degrees and so are cynical as shit about writing in general.
The best authors come to it late, and spend years refining their own work.
>>8079583
It's not that they're nonexistent, it's that no one pays attention to them.

imagine if evertyhing you did was ironic, like you put up ironic christmas lights and zany catchphrase banners in your apartment, and everyone pretended the cosmos was a daria sitcom and you were the jaded main character everyone is always watching all the time, and then you hit 35 and no one wants to lisetn to your stories about how you did ecstasy and zany shit on friday any more and youre just a fat bitch no one cares about for like 60 more years and you cant go back and redo it all and become a human instead
because of the education system. it just teaches so much garbage with so little good in between, that many young authors are just writing boring genre trash, rather than anything that has meaning, as they've been taught such shit.

Treating bipolar schizoaffective depression isn't easy

There are more than two paths in life, anon. Someone who partied in college but worked hard enough to get into medical school, then takes an interesting specialty where they contribute to the store of medical knowledge and treat patients while also having a family and writing down their thoughts is neither boring nor anything like Mira Gonzalez.
>>8079669
Yeah, nah, you're a boring fucking prole who'll always be a boring fucking prole no matter what income bracket you're in.
>>8079648
Yes it is.
1: proper diet
2: exercise
3: no drug use
4: cultivating mindfulness instead of hip cynicism
>>8079631
She looks so healthy and happy.
>>8079687
Mira pls. Your mental problems and drugs aren't that interesting. If you weren't a total basket case, maybe Vice would assign you something other than writing about stuff you do in your room.
hey isn't it possible you're being a little bit harsh on Mira because she's a girl? you don't even know her
>>8079704
>mental disorder is treatable through superficial lifestyle changes
Excellent meme.
>>8079844
If we're being harsh on her it's because we read her shitty tweets and vice articles about getting yeast infections and drinking lube.
>>8079619
dude, please stop posting this shit.

On one hand, he is a shitposter, on the other hand, you're a tripfag. I honestly don't know who's worse.
wew this thread is off the rails
>>8079648
I'm schizoaffective and am fine. I'm writing something about it.
Is Garth Risk Hallberg good? I've been hearing a lot about him lately.
>>8079583
You know what anon - I'll try my hardest just so you can be proud of our generation.
>>8079917
You should go look up the effects those things have on treating mental disorders before making a silly post.
>>8079619
stop trying to peddle your shitty ass novel
>>8080897
You should do the same.

I'm nearly off my medication, all I have to take is Ziprasidone. Those things help but medication is also very important.
>>8079583
that's the main thing that makes an author great
>>8079631
Hnnnh I want to gently stroke that thigh while reading Henry Miller to her as she drifts into a pill-induced nap then jerk off onto her panties then sign up for Twiiter just to send a picture of my cum on Mira's ass to that smug cunt Tao Lin
>>8079635
pills make you feel good, they enhance life.
