Thank god, holy shit. Just look what happened to Joyce. At this point, more people have read his fart letters than Ulysses.

Yeah because the fart letters are less embarrassing than the cumming in my pants story.

My ex once told me I was born about a century too late. I took it as a compliment, although whether it was meant to be, I can't say.
Pretty much settled the matter for me though.

Hey, if Joyce's reputation could survive his scat/fart fetish coming into public knowledge - you'll be fine.
>>8340469
if you're dead, why care?
if not, well, no publicity is bad publicity ;)

I still send and recieve letters with my /trv/-tier aquantiences. That's about the only way, though.
I write my own epistulae morales ad Lucilium desu, except that he is fictional in my case and they're thus not really letters but close to a diary.
Isn't writing a diary and a blog almost as good, though?

This. I know of a writer who died about 6 years ago, and his blog posts are getting published now.
>having made it as a writer
That's a funny joke, anon
