>and a computer
I write some of my things on a computer, but I still prefer to write by hand most of the time. Them I pass it to the computer.
It's quieter.

My hands start to ache within 5 minutes of writing by hand. It's quite bad, so I can't do it. I also feel a lot more free when writing on my computer, my thoughts get transmitted quicker to text and I can more quickly change words or whole sentences around. I feel so much slower writing on paper and a lot more restricted because of this.

The photo in OPs post is easily the most pretentious thing ever. I know a lot of people like this, the meme of "everyone has to see me writing" is real and it's annoying. What makes this photo especially irksome is that this asshole staged it. He actually thought this through so he could get a photo to post on some social media platform for likes from his other douche friends and most likely his douche mother. Assuming the father is out of the picture at this point.

Unironically Alan Moore's dingy little town house.

I think people use typewriters because it says to them "I am being a writer" in a way that computers do not. Sitting at a computer is 90% of the western world's work and leisure time so there's nothing aesthetically unique about it.

I wrote in a brewery because I like their beer, the atmosphere and unlikely to be too rowdy but still loud white noise. It's pretty fun. Higher ABV beverages are fun to play with when writing too, even if it seems that make you appreciate the less mistake prone sobriety. I think I'm learning that alot of the work of writing is sober, analytical and step-wise fixing of mistakes, gaps and rephrasings. Alot of these things become easier when sober. That said, there's some pleasure to be had in doing something you enjoy and channeling those good vibes into what you're rendering. It's somewhat freeing too because I needn't worry about this being some great composition, only exercises in greeting inspiration with immediate action, typing ideas immediately and as fully as possible, embracing the ethanol's counter-inhibitory effects.

Personally, I find thought flow better when I'm writing longhand. The backspace is was kills me; I'm such a perfectionist that I never get anything done since I get so caught up in the details. Writing longhand pushes me along and at just the right speed. When I type, I often find my thoughts running too fast so I make typos.

What an embarrassing sentence. Cities are trash and ESPECIALLY new york.

Not even trolling. I only feel excited and compelled to write when I'm unable to.

Anywhere and anytime that I CAN write, I can barely open the laptop.

Probably because you associate the laptop with things besides writing.

Nobody argued the opposite, you deflecting moron.

;^) more empty regurgitated buzzwords eh?

how did you guys get into writing? I'm assuming people usually parrot their influences before eventually developing a style of their own. Moreover, how do you choose subject material? I never know where to begin. Are there any youtube channels that teach you how to write?

My command of vocabulary and ability to string together sentences is already well above average from reading since I was a child; I can write in great detail and quite verbosely about any given topic, I just can't seem to write something of my own. I can't even decide upon fiction or non-fiction honestly.

>Are there any youtube channels that teach you how to write?

It's how all the greats learned, after all.

NYC is the most /aesthetic/ city on the planet.
I grew up ruralfag innawoods. Ever dug jiggers out of your skin using your own fingernails? The forest was thick with brambles, so every evening around nightfall I'd stumble back home with blood trailing down my legs to the point my socks were permanently stained. There was nothing to do but go innawoods because we were that poorfag. I built forts, dragged huge logs over creeks to make a bridge, played don't-fall-in-the-swamp jumping island to island and crawling across fallen trees.
Can't compare to a big city. OP pic rel is the most aesthetic thing I could imagine if you remove the fedora retard from the picture.
>muh nature
Swamp, animal shit, animal skeletons, sighting unusual critters, figuring out what made those tracks, chasing frogs, running through endlessly same-looking woods again and again, never changing, same shit every day, same acres every day, same weird neighbor "don't wander into his property line because he'll fire a warning shot at you", same insects, same worn trails, same trees every day, same spider webs in your face every day. Can't compare to the downtown of a large city. Woods woods woods woods woods versus a million always changing places and people and opportunities, always a new street, always a new neighborhood to explore.
>only enjoyable for rich faggots
Walking is free and you can eat on $5 a day if you know where to look. Endless sidegigs available to score extra cash, endless shared housing situations to score cheap rent. Not my fault you can't hustle.
I don't live in NYC (too close to home, don't want my parents dropping by for visits) but I've spent a lot of time there. It's god tier and you are massively COPING if you say otherwise.
Writing on the sly at work is top tier.

I can only write prose in a computer; I feel much more agile and the amount of text is far easier to handle digitally. However, for verse I need paper; if it's not by hand I can't really give it the care and dedication it needs. Also, I don't get tired out as much.

No shit you retard. I didn't write about it so it didn't happen? Feed the chickens, collect the eggs, weed the garden, harvest what's ripe, help dad do shit like repaint cabinets, clean stuff he found that day to resell. Wow you really showed me. Damn kid, why didn't he get a job as the county electrician?
Country people are inbred retards who do jack all day and think they work hard. My entire family is like that and they haven't read three books put together in the last decade, their free time is spent watching television or drinking cheap beer. Wow so enlightened.

Absolutely SEETHING over his malnutrition and abysmal tenement housing situation. Many such cases.

Yeah dude the only job in cities is “crack dealer”. All 8 million people in NYC are just crack dealers. Definitely not finance, consulting, academia, global retail, shipping, the arts, and the myriad industries which exist to service all the above. Just crack dealers all the way down.

Huh? People at the entry level of those fields live with roommates all the time. Dudes making $120k as Wall Street analysts live with roommates because they’re straight out of college and don’t mind it if it means getting some real savings under their belt.

Uh-huh. That's clearly not what your situation is mr $5 a day and perpetual side hustler. Buy tickets for NYE. The playstation, not MSG. Promise it will be fun.

When I worked 3rd shift security. Essentially I was totally alone and just had to do rounds like twice a shift and the rest of the time I was pretty much a warm body on the offchance something happened, which did not happen once in the 10 months I had that job.

Long story short I spent all of my time reading and writing while on the clock and it was pretty great.

I'm not the side-hustle guy (though he has a point). People live in places like NYC to accelerate their careers, whatever that happens to be. Some end up liking it and sticking around, but plenty of others use the experience they picked up in the city to move somewhere quieter as a more valuable worker.

I dunno? Anywhere where it doesn't hurt my back or i can let my creativity flow easier

-A.

Yeah.

My only problem with gigs like these is that they are just ‘jobs’, you know? Like not a career, really. I like careers where I have some time to read and stuff, but if you’re in sales like I am that is rather infrequent. I usually just settle for some good hours so I can get back home and read.

Reading or writing by a window is terribly distracting

Eh it's not for everyone. 3rd shift has gotta be awful for your health long term, so it's probably good I didn't do it forever, but I struggle with feeling like I'm wasting my fucking life working 40+ hours a week to afford my meager existence so at least I got to get paid to basically do what I'd just be doing on my time off anyway, leaving my time off work wide open for any socializing I'd have to sacrifice if I wanted to actually write while not on the clock was a pretty sweet deal at the time, even if I was still broke as hell

Also fuck everyone for hating on NYC I’m from rural Australia and I’d love to go there, probably will though. The city has so much more than the country, although those that grew up and lived in cities dream about a forest retreat where they can write in peace, people who grew up in the country dream about being in a city where they can zone out to the white noise of the traffic and footsteps and hone in on their writing in some little comfy loft.

I dunno Yea Forums, i have so many ideas that i've picked up over the years but i still feel insecure about them as i'm not sure if i'm educated on the particular subject or not, so i keep postponing the act of writing them down saying to myself "Once i'll raise the money to buy some real estate, i'll live a carefree life and manage to start writing"


it's just so excruciatingly painful for my mind to process

there have been zero writers that achieved greatness while holding down a steady 9-5 job.

Execs and wageslave jobs are not the same thing because the first will give you plenty of money and usually plenty of leisure time.

No, you should just die. My waifu is pure and not your pervert reading material thanks.

While walking, wandering. It's a bit of a problem, in fact.
While scribbling down the gist of it into a notebook is fine and good, I've gotta start hammering it down in-full as soon as I get back, lest the idea and spirit becomes diluted by the normalcy. Still, moving around lets my thoughts flow, and things I see, occurrences I meet, and all I wonder about feed into my writing.

I should probably get a portable typewriter. Laptops just distract with all the things they can do. Not that I typewriter and all the paper would be perfect, either.
