There are a thousand people out there a thousand times more talented than you.
You may have fooled them once; good luck doing it twice.
You call that a metaphor? Nobody talks like that.
This is a cliché.
I hate this. You're a cliche.
I should have been a lawyer. Taking the bar would have sucked. I suck.
So, because a few teachers, who couldn't themselves publish anything worth a bag of peanuts, sprinkled a few compliments over your head, you think you have something to offer?
Loser. How much longer before I pack it in, I wonder? What if I'm doing this when I'm 40?
I'm tired of being poor. You're an idiot. Most of your friends are better writers than you. You're lazy.A waste of space. You don't have an original thought in your head. You really think people will pay for this? Are you delusional? Maybe just insane. You should give up. Go back to school. Study economics. Or Chinese.That'd be smart.Other people are happy. Give up. Loser.Why can't you focus?If you want to be successful, you have to focus.That wasn't funny.Writing the blog isn't helpful.You can't do anything right. There are people your age making 100 times what you make.1000 times.1000 times zero is still zero.Loser.Give up.
Sometimes writing is hard.
It's true that right now you make little money. And perhaps you are also somewhat lazy. But don't sell yourself short. With persistence, a good night's sleep, and a sharp pencil, you could almost certainly write your way through a paper bag.
