I use to do this, and then I realized that a good compromise was to start creating fabrications about my life and start consistently telling those stories now. Turning my entire biography into a metafiction, an extension of my works...

Don't worry. Everything including your writing will be uploaded to the botnet and taught to countless AI consciousnesses. So your fantasy isn't totally divorced from reality.

Fortunately, biographism is mostly dead so you don't have to worry about anyone trying to analyse your joke of a life. Just make sure you write decent books.
