This guy has published a book. Why haven't you, Yea Forums?
This guy has published a book. Why haven't you, Yea Forums?
He even gave a copy to Carrie-Ann Moss!
I don't have a book to publish.
If a guy with such a lack of awareness can get his pulp swill published, I'm sure whatever you crank out can as well.
Why do you have a print-out picture of him handing his book? Is pic related you user?
Are you unironically promoting your generic clusterfuck of a book on a mongolian yak-fucking forum?
OH NONONONO
OP GOT ABSOLUTELY FRAMED
He posted them himself.
What the fuck is that handwriting? Shameful.
I don't even
What is that on his head, a hearingaide? Some kind of cyborg brain implant?
Probably some homemade cyberpunk-ish glasses.
That's a fedora.
Oh God
>that implant
This is not what I wanted to see this morning.
I see you went to London Film and Comic Con 2019. I've only ever been to 2 cons in my entire life but it super obvious that I came way too late and all cons now are just advertisements and hype.
What were they like in the late 90s and early 00s (when I probably should have went) when geek was still somewhat uncool?
I'm (luckily) not the guy in the pictures.
They were fun because it was only your fellow geeks, nerds, dorks, dweebs, and weebs, and far less corporate shilling.
How can a guy with a fucking Anonymous shirt not know to never post pics like this on the internet?
Feast your eyes upon it. This is what post-modernist corporate-grown writers look like.
I guess cause anonymous, like Yea Forums, doesn't really mean anything anymore.
Figured as much. I missed out on a whole lifetime.
Is this the hacker known as Yea Forums?
you should see mine
>Carrie-Ann Moss!
the wax carrie-ann moss!
They were filled with wierdos who used them as a way of picking up lonely teenage boys.
Which one were you, the weirdo or the boy?
Laugh all you want but at least he's doing it. If he can do it you can too.. so many of you guys are wasting away your talents.

> A sci-fi writer, for sci-fi fans and of the sci-fi fans. I'm an atheist, but if there is a god, he put me here to write cyberpunk.
the absolute state of atheism hahahaha
What makes you think I have talent?
Unironically better than anything Yea Forumsizens could ever write
This
The exposure to furries, pedos, grognards and social rejects was the price you paid for getting comics, anime and D&D modules.
Yikes.
>We have better weather too
The weather in Japan is usually lovely. England SUCKS.
Rain is utterly based.
I don't know what I expected.
>500 pages of this
He was being sarcastic. It's okay, user, you're just unable to grasp the emotional profundity of this masterpiece.
>half-Japanese boy genius Gary Stu self-insert
Imagine editing this.
Is there any cyberpunk that isn't just aping off of Blade Runner and Akira?
This is a good point. At least the man is optimistic. At least the man brought an idea to fruition. How many projects have I left nascent? Too many. I wish him well. But he can't dress for shit and probably eats like a retard.
>she cried shrilly back
Stopped reading there. God, this motivates me to get back to writing that novel I've been putting off for so long.
Do it user!
The Windup Girl
Thank you user!
The Water Knife by the same author is also really good, albeit very brutal.
>Particularly when it comes to sci-fi. It's this fascinationthat lead me to study Creative Writing and Journalism at University, and have thrown myself into it head first (for better or worse).
>I live forcyberpunk. When it comes to speculating about the state of society, and what the future holds, no other genre does it best.
Ahh, the cyberpunk grammar command, I see.
A master of form.
hes got solid prose for genre read those years ago might not be the exact cyberpunk palette a fag here would want
>that fourth last paragraph
How the fuck did anyone ever think this would make money?
>this is what /g/ actually believes
>the internet called him boy genius
Is this some alt history where the internet isn’t a refuge for ugly man hating gays and inferiority complex suffering women?
/x/ here.
Those who are sodomized wear glasses in public, to hide the shame. You will notice most actors wear colored sunglasses especially indoors.Because the eyes tell the truth. That is the price to pay for fame and fortune. He didn't write that book.
I wear glasses and I am the one who sodomize others.
Check mate atheists
>i pleaded with her down the phone in japanese
i got this far before laughing
It has made money. Got 10 reviews on Amazon and he's selling for £5 kindle and £15 physical book. Counting the non-reviewers he's probably made £200-500.
So it has barely covered the physical prints, then.
why did he list bill gates as his example if he signed a deal with mark zuckerberg?
Really cool!
Sounded like fun, wish I went to one.
>furries and weebs
I'd never thought that one day I'd jealous of furries and the community they created for themselves.
He comparing himself to him and the justification is that Zuck signed him.
>also strongly feel that sci-fi is best when It provides some form of social commentary, rather than being just pure escapism. I am a bit of a political news junkie, and try to funnel my concerns about society into my wring to produce stories I feel are worth writing about.
Yeah sounds great
>open pic
>"Oh, come on, mum, gimmie a break"
>close pic
Depends what method he used. On Amazon you can publish paperbacks for free and the printing costs will be deducted from your royalties
Someone post that Ebook
>Rick and Morty
Clearly he must be smarter than me then.
Unironically thank you, I'm trying to write a book
i wish he would tip that fedora over that smug fucking face
i bet she wiped her ass with it
that gif is based
What if i publish a book and it's shit and everyone laughs at me
Pull a The Room and claim it was meant to be a Dark Comedy
God I wish that were me.
This is actually good advice, kek.
Yea Forums, what happened to you?
m..mommy
Lions are into some kinky stuff yo.
>Sam Stone
WTF this man is based
>that obvious self-insert on the cover
MOMMY
The better question is, what the fuck's Carrie-Ann Moss doing at a crappy convention
Money must be tight.
So chad.
he looks like he based his appearance off what I assume is his main character in the brown trench coat
His hat looks too small.
Is that what it means to live the 'literary lifestyle'?
It's the opposite, actually
>what the fuck's Carrie-Ann Moss doing at a crappy convention
You kidding? Seems like everybody's doing an autograph signing at a convention these days.
I mean, it can't be paying THAT much? Especially if the price is suffering through a bunch of awkward neckbeards with their disgusting mouth-breathing
It's how a lot of washed-up actors make a living. Autographs can be surprisingly expensive.
>I mean, it can't be paying THAT much?
Man there were people like Jason Momoa, Charlie Sheen, the cast of the Cobra Kai, etc (as well as your washed-up stars), I think each autograph signing was at least £30-60 upwards.
>Especially if the price is suffering through a bunch of awkward neckbeards with their disgusting mouth-breathing
Everybody's a nerd these days so it's not just your old neckbeards (who I'm starting to suspect are dying out).
And since cons are attended by everyone these days, it's a pretty penny to make plus all the photos and publicity can't hurt your image. Especially since all cons are these days is just a giant advertisement for movies.
My mind is a blank. Anything that comes out of it would just be a poor imitation of greater work. Oh how I wish I had creativity.
It would have been wasted anyway because you're a lazy twat
Who was the Black dude that had that one book that was memed like this dude, it had a sword on the cover and his name may of been like Brian or Brandon
Gib that EBook
I want to read this shitshow as well.
Its free if you have Kindle Unlimited, just get the free month trial and Kindle PC 1.17 with Calibire.
Because I am living the book.
he wouldn't even look that bad if he lifted and got rid of the fucking nerd attire.
Read a bit of the beginning, its bad... ITS REALLY BAD.....
Like its amazing bad, self insert but he made himself half Japanese and a Tech Wiz. Also there is spelling mistakes everywhere.
Anything else like this on Kindle Unlimited
I need my Cringe Kino
Found his YT
youtube.com
Fuck that guy
Yea Forums is a Brandon Jones board
Still waiting for someone to drop that EBook
Wait a secky, is that the guy from Deus Ex?
Fucking Rich Evans?
His glasses are so cool
Tell me he self published this.
Tell me he is his own agent.
TELL ME THIS MAN IS NOT TRAD PUBBED
TELL ME
He's published by Tor Books. Very successful guy with a qt Asian gf.
dude im fucking working on it ffs gimme a god damned break
I just don't feel ready yet. I want to make something that I'll feel proud of, even though I feel as it will all be useless and no one will read my writings save for future generations (and even they might hate them). But fuck it I'm still writing
So he just followed Brandon Sanderson's YouTube vids verbatim and wrote his self insert action story/philosophical ramblings around it? Honestly respect. He made it work and it looks pretty easy. Did he do anything to her the right market?
It's easy. Fine some great works, at least one pulp work, randomly combine elements until it looks like a vaguely new thing. Even if you don't want to be a hack, doing hacky shit as an exercise gets the juices flowing
Do you think he realizes everyone knows it's a self insert and what that says about him as a person? Does he know it's so transparent?
Do you ever try write a short story but you can clearly see the similarities between another story you read / watched and then give up ?
Haha me neither
Does it matter? He wrote himself as a highly skilled slacker. That's the exact protagonist of most movies.
>highly skilled slacker
Name a more boring character
i dunno, if it weren't so packed with 'IM A GENIUS' shit it could be kind of fun. also the indian roommate would have to be removed. the thought of living with an indian would ruin the comfy fantasy shit.
Most highly successful pulp books have boring characters. It's part of the design.
Why does she wear the mask
Obviously because her face is atrocious.
based brandon poster
Stay at it. You’ll get there. Reading this post gives the reader +1 writing.
because of all the gas in the room
You didn't grasp the full magesty of it
>"Oh, come on, mum, gimmie a break", I pleaded with her in Japanese
Silicon Burning will become a movie.
His "outfit" will become merchandise.
He will be rich, while Yea Forums discusses dead Russians for the 700th time.
And there's nothing to be annoyed about.
>Silicon Burning will become a movie.
No it won't.
>His "outfit" will become merchandise.
No it won't.
>He will be rich,
No he won't.
>while Yea Forums discusses dead Russians for the 700th time.
Most likely.
>And there's nothing to be annoyed about.
True, but not for the reason you're implying.
You're assuming that future generations will read at all. The time is now, for in fifty years reading will be obsure.
>writing for something else than just writing
Unironically never gonna make it. Change your mindset boy. Life is not about the acceptance or respect of others.
ok this is based
pretty awful but definitely better than anything i could ever write...
geez, cut it down with all this self-awareness, take a blue pill once in a while
Doesn't mean anybody's actually bought it. Good for him if it's actually sold anything, though.
she's a big girl
FOR YOU...
no one in this thread fucks
Too busy reading, sugartits. Go back to where you came from with your updoots .
have sex
>rich
It's rather depressing that nowaday you can't make a living out of writing anymore. With how much effort self discipline required to finish a book, the profit is not worth it at all, my love for writing is the only thing keeps me going in this visual era
I can’t. I threw my back out humpin ya moms and her life partner Brenda wbecause I wasn’t wearing a back brace to support heavy lifting. Suck on that, nogsworth
This is a desperate cry for help and no one is listening - _ -
>When it comes to speculating about the state of society, and what the future holds, no other genre does it best.
This guy is a writer eh
>snigger
FUCKING BASED
Sounds like he ripped off William Gibson and his Burning Chrome title
Read the the prologue chapter, it goes from 1 - 100 within a few pages.
He fucking nukes the UK and creates fallout
Bend over.
because I like reading, not writing
>available on Kindle
>published
Cover reminds me of this shit
At least he's white
I can't write worth anything.
I've never tried to get one of my books published
The only thing I actually want to write is a video game series
>imagine the smell
for some reason rotten milk is the first thing that comes to my mind
you are still no better than him until you publish your own user! GO AND WRITE SOMETHING NOW
