Oh, I could see it easily! "'Fuck Off' and Other Timely Advice," by Christopher Gage. Twelve weeks on the New York Times bestseller list! You could finally upgrade your tobacco from mediocre to just "meh."
I will pay for this one Sub, because it is worth every cent.
"Around lunchtime, I stop writing. Then I either despair at what I’ve written, or convince myself that I am the next Swift, Addison, Steele, Pope, Mencken, or Christopher Hitchens."
This and the morning routine are most honest.
But therein resides the identity pretense. I've swung on the swing of this mania. But it slowed without me noticing. And now I'm sitting stationary in a seat held up by chains, looking around me instead of at the sky and the ground, hoping to fly off.
“Beforehand, I mentally rehearse the day’s small talk and what I might say if accosted by giddy strangers who, for reasons of insanity, feign a vital interest in the minutiae of innocent bystanders.”

Thank you!
Turns out, this is my 4th paid sub. Huh. Lol. Memory fail.
Love it man! Great work.
“Such personalities emerge during an age in which what one pretends to be is more important than who one is.”
Indeed.

Brilliant! 😂
Taking notes...
You seem to me to have a rather pleasant day. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top, and it should sell.
