/lit/ - Literature

I will start to study philosophy very soon, i have already submerged myself in the subject and created my own ontology, about which i currently write a book. The Problem that i now worry about is how to reconcile my ontological desire for a holistic assimilation of the ideas that i encounter with the task of simple representation, i fear that if somebody asks me about a problem in another philosophers system i won't be able to look at said philosopher outside of the ontological context that i analyze him from. How do i handle developing my system further while also meeting the universities requirements?

ITT: share soul crushing experiences of being /lit/

>spend two years writing novella
>send it to major publication
>6 months later, nothing
>decide fuck them, send it to another major publication
>a year passes and I've completely forgotten about sending it to either one
>pretty much haven't written anything since, too painful knowing how hard I worked on that massive project and no one even caring to look at it
>almost a year to the day after first submission, get form rejection email
>staring aghast at the nerve of these fucking people making me wait 365 days for a template "no" when I assumed they already put it in the trash can hundreds of days ago
>same day
>get form rejected from second publication
Why do publishing houses say their response time is 6-8 weeks and then form rejection me after 52 and 26 respectively? It's just kind of insulting at that point. If you post here and you work for some shorty zine like this you can suck my intrispective balls.

What crushed your soul, /lit/? How cope?
