90% of non-/trash/ authors have "Anon, born in 1992, is a british writer. His works have been labeled as pretentious pomo schtick. He has no wife and children." as their wiki entry anyway.

What fucking decade do you think you're in?

Upload your .pdf to a service that gives out ISBNs, sell through Amazon. There, you're done.

my aggressively middlebrow undergrad creative writing professor has a wiki page and it's pretty much just a reformatted resume

some of you will probably have wiki pages someday but there's no way it'll be anything more than what ol kevin has

most published authors don't have wikipedia entries.

You guys know how fucking easy it is to get "published?" jesus fuck. That's how fucking pathetic you are. A lot of magazines will specifically say what they're looking for in their next issue. WRITE THAT.

Secondly, being a "published author" is no big deal. Dorks think the world is going to open up for them once they get published. Once you actually do get published you realize that you're still a common nobody, and this is just like step 2 of 100 towards getting fame and riches through publishing.

The only thing that kept me out of court was the fact that I had recorded the crazier one threatening me if I didn’t do what she wanted ( to continue dating her ).
