Are there textbooks for fiction writing? I've only ever read Stephen King's writing book which was mid and he's a hack anyway. Though I wish I had just a smidge of his ability to crank shit out.

Here’s the copypasta from the /lit/ writing general thread:

/wg/ AUTHORS & FLASH FICTION: https://pastebin.com/ruwQj7xQ
RESOURCES & RECOMMENDATIONS: https://pastebin.com/nFxdiQvC

= WHEN POSTING FOR CRITIQUE =
- State whether you want feedback on prose, dialogue, pacing, general impressions, or if anything at all is fine.
- Give context. Short story, essay, chapter from a novel? Is it genre fiction? Standards and expectations vary based on what you're writing.
- If it's a first draft, say so. Most anons aren't willing to critique low effort writing samples, so edit and proofread.
- Images are more frequently engaged with than links, but do as you please. Pastebin often rejects content and doesn't allow italics, so rentry.co is the suggested alternative.
You're asking for a stranger's time and effort. Put some of your own in.

= BEGINNER RESOURCES =
These address mistakes often seen in excerpts posted here. If you are a beginner, please read them before submitting.

Thanks friend. I will try and check out those books. I had forgotten I've been meaning to read the Le Guin one for a while.

Well some friends read a section of my novel and they don't think I should throw it in the trash so I guess I have to keep working on it.

>still making salads with lettuce and not substituting better greens
This is why you fail

File: 1729701531278.jpg (419.14 KB, 700x700, peasant-food-ai5.jpg)

Lets take this up a notch, what meals could you make under 1€? Assuming you eat 3 meals a day, it has to be 700kcal or more.
Macronutriens should not be a problem, legunes, rice, TVP, oats, seeds, they last forever, you can get a big bag of them at bargain price. Vitamins on the other hand, I dont know. A single broccoli takes half of your daily food budged. Carrots are cheaper, frozen spinach is very cheap and very nutrient dense.

Bumping for poverty survival advice.

>>44006
Actually my grandmas potato salad is the greatest salad on earth and it has no greens

>>44060
my most common reasons for going over this budget are meat or cheeses, otherwise this is accurate to my meals.
>>44061
i don't make salads actually.
>>45724
then it's not a salad. i've never seen it served as anything other than a condiment as well.

Does this website have anything meaningful to say in terms of media analysis or are their tropes just invented by a couple of redditors that wanted to develope a niche project?

This. Comparing things to "reddit" is fucking retarded. Thinking that people can BE reddit is retarded. There's no competition between reddit and other websites. These fucking faggots supposedly loathe reddit so much and yet they give it such power by always, always, constantly referencing it as an insult to people who don't even use it. People made their choice and they're here. And the second they're not edgy enough or they're too mature that's the insult: "Go back". Go be with those "regular" people with their normal opinions, or whatever the actual crime of reddit even is. There's no way to tell from context. Just anything the accuser doesn't like becomes "reddit".
Did these people get kicked out of there or something? Who pays any attention? I'd never know anything about reddit if it weren't constantly mentioned on imageboards as some sort of bad place for dorks or something.
It's basically free advertising. I don't understand.



 

I love you guys lol

Ever since it I've been thinking of how you could set up an AI to judge an oekaki or something. Oekapcha, if you will.

>>45547
Wouldn't even really need AI, just some way to check it isn't static, and something to check if it's unique would deter some more primitive bots.

ITT we discuss business strategy and help other anons escape wage slavery, build a business that subverts capitalism from within, and become ethical petty booj with a lefty perspective in mind.

This is for serious discussion only, keep focused on the topic and don't derail the thread.

>but "can we have a quick chat on zoom to go over your order" and then during that chat, if you have a good relationship, let them know that it'll be better for both of you if you can pay direct.


Yep done this myself. Actually everything you say tracks with my experience too. Clients who I have managed to take off the platform are usually happy to pay a little more, and it's a lot less alienating when at least I can build up a relationship with them over time.

I do copywriting too, but struggle to get regular work, despite getting good reviews. At the moment, I'm barely getting an order a month. May I ask you for any tips on getting more work there?

Had a horrible order today gonna vent here

He probably thinks that being anti capitalist means he can like not pay for services since money is evil or some shit



 

Anyone here /bardpilled/?

I've been dipping back into the Shakespeare well a bit recently. Takes me back to school when the world of "serious literature" was still this mysterious and exciting unexplored place for me.

What are some of your favorite plays, characters, lines, etc.?

>>45279
I was once told that Shakespeare was a muslim from Morocco called Shaykh Zubayr

I have read Hamlet three times, in three different languages, and I still don't get why people think it is such an important work.

>>45285
Actually his name was Sheik Pir

I downloaded the Norton Shakespeare Complete Works and im basically stalling right now because of all the books i have started and are still not finished. Will probably follow this guide i found on /lit



 

Anyone else going to watch this show out of solidarity? Chuds are already mad that Abby isn't a steroid hulk and claiming that the actress playing Abby should be playing Ellie instead. The seethe over this show is going to be immense and generate nonstop rage videos for at least the rest of the year.

chuds mad

It'll probably be mid like the first season was. I'd rather replay TLOU2 again than watch it. Haven't played No Return since that big update either

Why make a tv show out of a game that's already basically a movie?

>>45570
It lends itself as a great advertisement for the coincidence rerelease/port of said game

Does anyone like to build model kits here or is that advanced commodity fetishism? I've only done snap builds before, there's a military industrial complex endorses plane kit I haven't done and painted yet
Miniature painting too, that's adjacent enough right?
