I’ve heard that dentists have the highest rate. I’ve also heard that if you’re a writer you have a 99% chance of failure. Everyone’s trying to write a book and get published. Very few make it. But..that shouldn’t stop you from writing if that’s what you love to do. Just do it. If you make a living at it…well..that’s extra.
I plan on doing the same, although through a video and not plain text. Funny thing is… there’ll be no one to miss me when I’m gone anyway. But I have a story to tell, and that’s exactly what I’ll do.
Good luck with your story, and maybe I’ll read it during the week.
I have heard that creative people are more likely suicidal. These surveys and all that research shows writers are twice as likely to do suicide. I used to think that those who have nothing are more likely to do suicide. But after searching about it on the internet, I have realized that I was wrong. Those who are bipolar are more creative than general population.
Even with all your flaws, you have a gift of writing. You are a gifted writer. But I can understand that it is not enough.
It is true that writers are mostly human beings. How do you come to call yourself a failed writer? The two sentences you wrote seem cogent enough to me.

You are now officially a published writer.
At least four different people have read your work here on this site.
Congratulations on your success.
Kafka, like Franz Kafka?
