Ben's had a lot of low points over the years. Somebody post the pic of him with that terrible tattoo.

I'm going to begin releasing my big story on my Substack. I consulted with a guy who works in the publishing industry about it and he says the first book probably wouldn't be accepted by any publisher because it's too long and too experimental.

I think if I do this story right it can be the greatest work of art of the 21st Century. Wish me luck, /lit/.

You guys think Ben might post here sometimes? A lot of the details I hear about his life make him feel like /ourguy/ in many ways. He's also 52, which makes him peak Gen X, the original demographic of 4chan. What if he was an oldfag back in the day?

Why do I keep writing things that people love, but that can't get published? Why have I somehow managed to please everybody EXCEPT editors at publishing houses and literary journals?
