[Anonymous No.18817161]

You will never be a real writer. You have no style, you have no creativity, you have no authenticity. You are a pretentious man twisted by narcissism and delusions of grandeur into a crude mockery of literary insight.

All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back people mock you. Your parents are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your pathetic intellectual posturing behind closed doors.

Readers are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of literary tradition have allowed audiences to sniff out pseuds with incredible efficiency. Even hacks who “sell” look cringe and contrived to a reader. Your sentence structure is a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a real publishing contract, it’ll turn bomb the second anyone gets a whiff of your stilted, awkward prose.

You will never be happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.

Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around your neck, and pull a DFW. Your parents will find you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and no passerby for the rest of eternity will ever know that you used to refer to yourself with two first initials. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a self-pub that is unmistakably cringe.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.
