beginning to suspect that if I ever want to have a published novel I will have to actually write a novel, which is frankly ghoulish

Books: Main characters must follow the plot.

Fanfiction: Okay but what if they went to IKEA and fought over furniture instead?

A writer's ego is different than your average ego. It boosts itself higher than the heavens when someone compliments my work.

But tell me something as small as "is that comma meant to be there?" or "that's not the correct way to use that word" and I will go into a writing hibernation-sesh for the next century in a fit of self-doubt.

We are fragile creatures.

If u want to write a story about a character that's just you but hotter with a dark twisted backstory and magical powers and a pet falcon or something, I think u should just go ahead and do that. Who's gonna stop you? The government?? Fuck the police.

Just a reminder you can publish a book under any name. Like, for example, you can write the worst smut book about a guy and his undying lust for very specific varieties of squashes and publish it under the name of that asshole who bullied you in high school. That way anyone who searches their name will think they have questionable hobbies.

Get ready Vanessa.

You've got dedicated fans who love your work.

I've got a dedicated fan who rips mine to shreds piece by piece as motivation in the comments section of wattpad.

We are not the same :')

hobbyist writing is wild because on one hand, i want to casually write for fun, but on the other hand, i want someone in 200 years to angrily argue about the symbolism of my comma placement in a university lecture.

It's all fun and games until you have to figure out how to structure a governmental system.
