/lit/ - Literature

>>22456266
Oh, dear Lord. I can safely discount everything gaslighting opinion you have to share about writing.

Repeating my question - how the fuck do I find readers? I don't want to shill.

Where the fuck do I find readers for my stories? Every single site that lets you host novels is filled with literal piles of garbage.

Now, I'm not saying my stories aren't garbage, I'm completely new to writing, but most of this trash people aren't even trying. I'm talking literally most basic of basic grammar errors, typos all over and so on. I'm an ESL writing in English for a larger audience, but holy fuck, have mercy.

I'm also too ashamed to shill my stuff on /lit/. I doubt anyone would want to read it anyway.

Hard truths /lit/ needs to accept.

>Reading philosophical works is retarded and ineffectual. Instead of trudging through hundreds of pages written in a deliberately obscure style, it's infinitely better to read the wikipedia page or someone else's summary. You get the same ideas explained better and in 1/50th of the time. The only ones actually reading shit like Kant are pseuds trying to look smart.

>Hard work doesn't mean shit without innate talent. To write good stories which express interesting ideas and create compelling characters, you need to be smart and interesting yourself. Hard work can't compensate for that. If you're not talented, you will never be a good writer, much less a great one.

>If you were talented, at this point you'd know.

>Literary or financial success wouldn't fix your past anyway. You would still be broken.

I'd like to read happy lit but feel like it will only make depressed once it's over and I reflect on it.
