I'm not good enough to be a published writer so I gave up hope, but I want to reach out to people in some way. Would it be dishonest or pseud-like to popularize my poems through a Facebook page or an Instagram profile?

kek. I don't write Rupi-Kaur tier shit. I just think what I write is good enough for the average Joe to see, but not good enough for a publisher to consider.

I don't know. I don't want people to think that I write just for pseud cred.

No one wants to read any of your shit. The whole purpose of the publishing business is to filter the people who might actually be worth reading from the all of trash (i.e. you).

The internet is already flooded with with hacks who lack the self awareness to figure out that they're too shit for anyone to care about anything they make. Don't add to it.

I assume you speak as someone whose work has been published several times. Otherwise you're probably just as bad.

He gives you plain spoken honest advice and your first instinct is to attack him.

Your fragile ego will never make it in the publishing world.

But this is exactly what you are doing. By trying to share your work in this way you want to give to/be recognized by the Everyman while simultaneously admitting your not good enough to be published. This is worse than being a pseud.

Tl;Dr if you're gonna do it just be honest about what it makes you and stop seeking anonymous validation from /lit/.
