I ask cuz I was chatting with someone today about a creative project I’m working on, and said if I ever were to publish it I’d want to do so under a pseudo-name because if it did really well I wouldn’t want to become famous, the idea of being famous at all makes me anxious.
They felt this was weird of them. Personally I think this can’t be an uncommon sentiment, I mean plenty of authors out there despise public life, so I think it’s a pretty common feeling.
I was front page news once. I won’t go into any detail because even a little one would be enough. It fucking sucked though.
Daily Mail outside my house asking for interviews kind of front page. Climbed the back fence and had someone else tell them to fuck right off.
I couldn’t do that frequently at all.
