Literally who.
So does Stephen King. They’re top tier slop merchants. Slop factories in fat ugly human forms.
That is used to produce complete shit
Ethnics don’t do any work
Hah!
I heard he beat up his staff. Also, he is a human trafficker, wife-beater, drug dealer, rapist, pedophile, BLM, supports lgbtq, and is a closeted homosexual.
You just can't trust fat "people". What they do to their body is an insult to God itself and just emblematic of their general wickedness.
it’s over.
Putting out slop isn’t exactly a good work ethic.
he has a humiliation fetish
He has some lectures on how to write science fiction right? Is anything of what he says worth listening to if I'm not planning on writing science fiction? Is anything he says worth listening to period?
It's nothing that good, nothing that isn't better presented and explained by more in depth books about writing like "How to write a damn good novel" or "Techniques of the selling writer".
It's not worth listening to. That's not because he doesn't know what he's doing. He absolutely does. His success is not a matter of luck. But he's not spilling the beans in those lectures. I don't even think its a matter of keeping his techniques secret. I think's just that the real stuff is not what anybody wants to hear, so he just tells people what they want to hear instead, which is a bunch of bullshit about world building etc. He gears his lectures not toward writers but toward aspiring writers. The kind of people who talk about plotters vs. pantsers. Do you think working authors actually talk about shit like that? (Yes, I'm aware the moronic ass term "pantser" was coined by Stephen King... in a book intended for aspiring writers)
You'd be better off just studying Sanderson's actual books and learning what he does that way.
so does an AI.
Said the world's sons of their fathers.
he looks like Panchin xd
How does he do it? How does this fat, autistic Mormon sit down and effortlessly shit out a half a dozen books every year? Does he have a methodology? I’ve heard that the bulk of his stories follow a basic pattern of easily sellable slop, but I haven’t read enough of his work to know the specifics other than the fact that he jerks off over his anime-style magic system nonsense. beyond having too much free time, what is it that makes Brando Sando so prolific?
He averages 2500 words per day. Stephen King averages 2000. Those are relatively clean words. That's honestly not very much if that's you're full time job, and that's all you have to do every day. Granted, they both have other shit they have to do, speaking engagements, interviews and so forth, but they've both been writing for multiple decades, and when they were starting out all they really had to do was write. They put their butt in the chair every day, they stay focused while they're in the chair, and they're consistent. That's literally all.
How do I stop myself from editing in the middle of a session? Or from going on a research tangent? I have a compulsion to write something sounds good immediately in the moment, and it functions, but it makes progress incredibly slow.
I think it’s probably a bad habit borne out of a sense of perfectionism or ego, but I’m not sure how to go about breaking it.
Don't be a loser and be perfectionist all the way. Flaubert read 100s books for research on any of his major novels and wrote several thousand pages worth of drafts just to get the perfect few hundred. Nothing worthwhile can be skimped on
Okay, but should I be a perfectionist mid-writing or wait until my first draft is complete?
Everyone has different methods. You can either write a nonsensical amount and then edit it down or you can do a lot of heavy lifting beforehand and try to get each paragraph as perfect as possible for the first draft so you need minimal edits later. Depends which one suits your personality.
Read the Cambridge Companion to Flaubert's chapter on his manuscripts and drafts
Flaubert is a pretty extreme example though.
There's nothing wrong with editing in the middle of a session, as long as you're not spending an hour polishing one sentence or something.
Have you tried what some writers refer to as cycling? Basically you write, and then as you feel that you're kind of losing momentum, you go back about 500 words or so, and you go through and edit until you reach the white space again, and you'll have your moment back. And you just keep doing that over and over until you've got your words for the day. It results in a pretty clean set of pages at the end of the day. Dean Koontz writes like this for example, and I would say the quality of his writing is really high for a genre writer.
