i plan to move to LA within the year and get a job waiting tables until i can get a writing job SOMEWHERE
Have fun waiting tables when you're in your 40s.
Seriously, move to New York or London. There's far too much competition for anyone 'new' in LA whereas you start to make it on a lower field and you can open doors for yourself.
i think gwahir was joking
ok guys my turn here are my plans for the future
continue being better than 100% of the people on this forum in every way possible
like in the way you'll never finish collegeQuote:

Hey guyz my plan for the future is to satisfy myself with delusions of grandeur on the internet.
yeah upon reflection i do sound like an arrogant fuck, but mostly if you're looking for it/expecting it which, to be honest, I can't really fault yoo for.
sycld no wonder you are so miserable you do know there are good and fun things to do in life, right?
basically you can look at the situation this way
frame 1: man it totally sucks that I'm living because i'm going to die one day fuck everything also i'm brown and homosexual the only thing that hates me more than the world is myself
frame 2: man living totally rules! apparently there's a time limit, which kinds of sucks, but i'll make up for it as much as I can, because i'm brown (lots of browno people are fun!) and homosexual, and the only thing that loves homos more than other homos is straight women!
ok so overbearing optimism is annoying as shit, but hating the routine you feel your being forced to live is terrible so long as you're aware it's shitty and still aren't even trying to change it into something you would enjoy, in which case, i have no pity for you.
frame 3: sycld's nihilism was posted to provoke exacty such reactions as those above.
except we're all pretty sure his scathing nihlism is genuine, thus
im going to college for the low low cost of 0$
u mad
Mopping the floors doesn't count.
hey welcome to the club
except instead of college it is university
my immediate plan for the future is to preserve my fingernails so they don't break. they are long now.
i'm going to scratch atmosfear.
I want to move to California for a bit then move to New York to live permanently.
Then marry someone very rich and live happily ever after.
We don't want or need you.Quote:

Fair enough I suppose.

My current plan has changed. I've discovered the resonant frequency for space time that can aid in displacing any object or being through a parabolic shift in time. I'll see you all 3 years ago. I have something I need to see.
um i didn't say that unless you used your super intelligent genius to extrapolate into the future what i'm going to say.Quote:

You and I read it differently then.Quote:

My plan has ALSO changed!
I started writing a book last January, and am currently working on what I hope is the third and final draft. Once I finish this, it goes into the hands of M. S, a lady friend who plays bit parts on television shows in California. Using this connection, I should tentatively find representation for the work. If not, then I do it the hard way and query agencies until I get accepted, then they try to sell my manuscript for me.
you can also self-publish, give copies of the book out to your friends, and show off what a big man you are for publishing a book.Quote:

What's the synopsis of the book?
just wondering, since you know more than i about this... but wouldn't you potentially have more success getting some short stories published in periodicals like zoetrope rather than getting an entire book published right away?
I read your soul, and that is what it said to me
Also, everyone knows Bach is the My Chemical Romance of the late Baroque period, and since Brahms is the Bach of the Romantic period, well...
I mean, getting short stories published doesn't really affect the overall percentage chance that I'll get my novel published.
I've also had some short stories run online and I've had a few plays produced.
Anyways, the book - in a nut shell - is about a 17 year old who was living with his abusive dad, who gets a new job, so the kid ends up moving to live with his mom in his hometown. While there, he gets embroiled in a secret society whose secrets go back centuries while he tries to make sense of the constant tragedy that seems to surround him. It's a pretty cut and dry YA/Teen novel, but I wanted to give it a little more substance than most contemporary YA dickchomps.
where did you publish your short stories?
Undergound Voices, Antithesis Common, and one other place, the name of which is escaping me at the moment. They're not any great places of note, and I've been rejected from a few noteworthy places (Asimov's, and Orson Scott Card's The Intergalactic Medicine Show spring immediately to mind), but I don't really submit a fuckload of short stories anymore. I've been trying to get published in a hipster online rag, but their editor drives me up the fucking wall 90% of the time, missing the point of the stories that I send.
EDIT: I also write game reviews/editorials for a website that is supposed to launch in the near future.

(sorry; i cannot resist mocking you by taking your words out of context, and um it's for your own good since you need to... develop a thick skin. yeah, that's it.)
I want to get out of the Navy and say "Man, I'm going to college." But the reality of most people who get out of the Navy is "Man, I'm going to work and go to college part time and probably get my bachelor's when I'm 30."
Fuck.
I was kind of mocking myself a little bit there, chief. I've been rejected far more times than accepted (I have a 1:4 ratio, I think, which isn't too awful, but still). The irony was apparent in my statement.
hey I didn't mess up yetQuote:
