since you need to consistently deliver quality to earn X amount, how would you translate X to say the required value to produce? It's fair to say this right, since people(or a demographic) do look for a certain value and not any less, not brainless of a buyer?

Would there be a rough sketch for production/editing to maintain?

i mean like othr than punctuations and grammar, what makes it actually readable, consistent, and finally top grossing?

how do you keep writing/the story consistent too?

Make an overall arc, draw a space marine, and remember everyone is an npc who only cares about style every now and then and how well you can market it initially

Average quality is consistency, things don't need to be perfect rather they need to be dependable

Consistency is cringe, tbh. It should always be a gamble.

What always stands out to me in bad writing is excessive numbers of characters who exist to do nothing, and very nuts and bolts descriptions of things that leave you with absolutely no mental image of the scene. Don't know if that helps at all.
Also, I guess just bad flow. You want the words to flow nicely, like poetry, but not poetry. You don't want to feel like you're reading a technical manual.

Should it be a period piece (i.e. set in the good ol' days on a plantation in the Deep South), or a modern-day urban thriller about a buck breaker who assaults random black men in semi-public settings? Perhaps a blend of erotica and a crime thriller?

Kaczynski's a murderer? Compared to other writers I've read, barely.

I also a few American presidential autobiographies, a couple of books written by Che Guevara, one by Julius Ceasar… quite few by "God" or those claiming to be his spokesmen. Kaczynski doesn't even get top 20 in my bookshelf murder marathon.

I'm reading interviews with hideous men after stumbling across an article where some jezebel journalist suggested people should throw away their copies of infinite jest just because some woman claims dfw pushed her out of a car or something but she still fucked him after I think?
Anyway the book is ok, I'm nearly finished but I don't understand the title is like ironic or something?

I watched the cuck philosophy video on baudrillard which discusses baudrillard's thoughts on the matrix which as we all know was based on S&S, where baudrillard pans the film suggesting that 'the matrix is the kind of film that the matrix would produce' that it missed the point of his work and was a surface understanding only exploring the simulation.
What is he fucking retarded didn't he see the sequels?
That's it, that's my little joke about baudrillard. Hope you liked it.
