Why do you all worry about not getting published?

I laugh to myself each time I see one of those threads on /lit/ asking for publishing advice or something of the sort. This attitude is in no way literary. In fact, it is pathetic. I am like you, anon: I write. I write excellent books. But never for once have I thought about publishing any of my work, and that is because I know for sure that my work is in a realm of its own, and to have it on a shelf beside other books in a library, is a shame. I also know for sure that after I commit suicide, my writings would gain more attention, and people would hail me as a genius for generations to come. I will become immortal. My name will be carved in the Literary Stone beside the names of Shakespeare, Cicero, etcetera. I do not need a publisher to publish my work; I am my own publisher.

Obvious bait, but how do you suppose your writing will get "discovered" after your death if you've never published anything during your lifetime? One of your buddies is gonna find it on your computer somehow and be like "damn this is nice better call up the publishers"?

That's good for you, OP, but I'd rather have what Shakespeare actually had: fame in my own time, immortality after death. So I'm going to keep hustling, if it's all right with you.

The biggest problem with publishing is that your work will suffer. The pressure of having an audience and expectations will turn you into a whore. That is why you can only really take a work seriously if was done in obscurity.

Damn, this is nice. I think I'll publish it under my name.
