Why did you keep on writing after you realized that you would never be published and you would never have anything original or useful to say?

Divine intervention.

You were destined to fail because your motivation was getting published.

Now, if you actually liked writing for it;s own sake and didn't just like the idea of telling people you're a published author then maybe you'd have gotten somewhere instead of spending all your writing time jerking off to the idea of getting a booker prize.

I do this. I just lived in Paris and Prague for about a year each and told every girl I met I was a "writer" or a "novelist", and 4-5 girls let me cum inside them without a condom, no joke.

I want some kind of meaning. Any kind of meaning. The need to leave a mark is what drives me. A proof of existence. Something to distract myself from the pain. Self loathing and shame are the main emotional forces.
