@stilleaworkinprogress: Mom’s never-ending “capitalism ruins everything” series. Imagine how much great art and literature we’re missing out on because the best artists aren’t able to afford to create… 🤔 📉 How does the economy shape art and literature? ⏰ Time versus quality #politicstiktok #economics #TikTokCreatorSearchInsightsIncentive
I don’t understand why the Colleen Hoover books are so popular.

100% I totally felt this with the ballad of fallen dragons in the moonfall series. The author took her sweet time and I’m glad for it. I’d rather wait for a good book than to read a mediocre rushed novel because the industry pushed the artist too fast.

Case in point: The Hunger Games was published in 2008. The most recent book in that series, Sunrise on the Reaping, was published March of 2025. Great work takes TIME.

Honestly, I’d love if the US would do what Ireland is doing right now for creatives! They have a creative fund so people can just make stuff without having to worry about getting their bills paid.

The Writing Beetle :
My coworker ask me why I don't become an author (I write fanfiction lol) and I said it's bc I don't turn hobbies into a job. I don't want to be tapped into or rushed. Art is a gift, not an obligation.

I used to be a big reader now I have a bookcase of half read books because they all felt empty and hollow that I couldn't force myself to finish them.

Agree!!! And “The Help” was such an amazing read and story. It was incredibly emotional and thoughtful book. It stayed in my brain for MONTHS after I finished it. When we try to mass produce, art becomes watered down and formulaic.

This is what makes Stephen King and so many other prolific writers extraordinary to me.

Yo this is what The Forbidden Book of Reality by Michael Walker is all about. Changed how I see everything.

I could not agree more! I’m halfway through The Calamity Club and I am absolutely loving it. We don’t get this quality of book anymore.

That’s why is was worth waiting for the sequel to When the Moon Hatched. Her writing style is amazing.

I've been working on my debut novel for nearly two years now. I've been told by others on tiktok that it's way too long for a book. I'm not interested in mass producing mediocrity. If I'm going to write something I'm going to make certain it's perfect, and most importantly, that's it's good.

As an author struggling to balance all of it, and feeling like I’m loosing as I’m taking time on this next book, I appreciate the support of ‘it’s okay to slow it down’.

It took Lena Dunham 8 years to write Fame Sick. It’s one of, if not thee best, memoirs I’ve ever read.

Jodi Piccoult is one author that is pretty consistently writing great stories, but she isn’t churning out two novels/year. She also takes ideas from current events to create her stories, so her books are all very different.
