/lit/ - Literature

I can't decide what the fuck I am supposed to write. Forget genre, I can't even figure out the loose category - pulp, serious genre writing, "art". I can't do it. I don't really feel very strongly about writing. I am decent at it, but I am not super into it. As a result, I can't figure out what to do with my skills.
I am great at psychological, interpersonal and "deeper" fiction, I like that stuff, it's close to my heart. I like narratives like that so much. But it's hard, and I am an "original" enough of a writer to have a very limited possible target audience.
More serious genre fiction? I can do it, but it's not my strength. I don't care for it super much. It takes effort and memory to do this right. I am plagued by doubts of mediocrity and failure.
Pulpy shit? It's easy to write, quick to write, and it sells really well, especially if I lean into the more erotica-like aspects, the comedy, the crude violence of the genre. I am good at writing charismatic characters. This seems like the most "practical", sustainable and financially promising choice. But I was raised a Calvinist! I may not be a Christian anymore but I have a really hard time swallowing my pride and dropping my "standards", however arbitrary they may be. How could I share my writing with my friends like this? Do I even want to make room for that type of writing in my soul? Hard to say. But if I can't sustain myself with this shit, it's probably not worth spending my time writing anyway, since I am not super fired up about the craft. And if I can't sustain myself with writing, I'd have to drop it and exchange it for an actual job. So it seems like pulpy shit is the natural choice here, but the thought keeps gnawing at me: writing pulp won't be good for me, maybe I could also make it big with more serious writing, maybe I'll regret this in some other manner, and since I am not much into writing, maybe writing pulp wouldn't be worth it for me even if I could make a living that way.
I dunno. I am really confused. Logically I feel like I should write pulp, but this literally just dawned on me 10 minutes ago and it's certainly an idea that I haven't even considered before, that's how strange it seemed to me. I suppose I could use some advice, or even just you people's thoughts.

Nice bait.
>set back humanity at least 1000 years
>real human advancement
>Religious people should be gassed, together with other degenerates

What books should I read to understand it all? I.e. essential books for life?

Take Rick off that list. He hasn't been a "you missed the point by idolizing them" type of character since the first season. Dan Harmon adopted him as his self-insert so now the show basically revolves around demonstrating how correct and justified his psychotic behavior is. He's never shown to be wrong, just tragic. I honestly can't think of a show that reeks of the creator's paraphilias and pathologies more than Rick and Morty.

It's like poetry.

What's the relationship between love and hate why those emotions feel so apart and yet so easy to cross from hate to love and from love to hate

When I was 16 he was good but now I'm older and think he's a hack fraud. Probably good for baby's first counter culture writer and then you dive further into the beat writers and realize Hunter was derivative in style and shallower in content and analysis of the actual scene. Junky by Burroughs said much more about the grimey scene and general mood of the country and his writing style was better. All and all beat writing is pretty Boomer tier.

Anon, retards are biodegradable and fertilizer is always going to sell. German efficiency and all that. After all, they themselves say that flora an fauna is worth more than their own life.

Huxley was the brother of Julian, which was part of the Fabian Society, which openly discussed the political moves to shape human societies. Their goals where exactly what he wrote down as his best known work.

The more you know.

>George Orwell, (real name Eric Blair), was educated at Eton College, a well known Illuminati education center – it has produced 19 British Prime Ministers including David Cameron. While at Eton, Orwell was taught French by Aldous Huxley, it was here they became lifelong friends. Huxley, who was also the author of another interesting book, ‘Brave New World’, introduced Orwell to the Fabian society.

>The Fabian society is a secret society at its core, although anyone can join, like all of these societies there are many levels of initiation (such as with the Freemasons), meaning the majority of people involved in the organisation have no idea of the true agenda and carry out their roles creating a front for the fraud at the heart of the organisation. The Fabian Society has been instrumental in the global fascist agenda. It was the force behind the creation of the Labour Party in Britain but operates both officially and unofficially across the globe as I will detail elsewhere.

>The name Fabian is said to come from ‘Fabius’, the Roman general, Quintus Fabius Maximus Verrucosus. Fabius employed carefully planned strategies to wear down his enemies over a long period of time avoiding battles that could prove decisive either way. And of course this is exactly how the global agenda has been planned out. What is more, the Fabian society has a wolf in sheep clothing for its logo (right), how appropriate, and its motto is “Remould it nearer to the heart’s desire”, also appropriate.

>The significance in the title of Orwell’s book is the fact that 1984 is the centenary year of the Fabian society, perhaps just another tidy coincidence but it is speculated that he became disillusioned with the society and 1984 was written not as fiction but an expose of the knowledge of the Fabian agenda. And that would then explain why the Fabian Society reportedly controls the copyright of ‘1984’ until at least 2025, they control the rights to his estate and they own and have sealed Orwell’s archives.

>obvious bait ofc, but
there are unironically “humans” like who live like that

Any suicide fuel/motivation philosophy papers or literature out there? I've come close to an heroing twice in the past year but I chickened out at the last minute, I need some motivation to make the final leap into oblivion.

I want to embrace absurdist nihilism. Where do I start?

Read every book you can get your hands on, every time you learn something new or experience something different you grow as a person. Take responsibility for your actions and impose duties upon yourself. Find a “mature adult” you admire and emulate them. You’ll never feel like you’ve crossed the threshold from childhood to maturity, growth is a never ending process until death.

This book is part of an already acknowledged plan to distract whites from what is happening by trying to convince them through lies and propaganda that it isn't happening. Notice the name of the writer...
