“A writer named Alan — I won’t mention his last name, even though he clearly craves the attention — sent me a link to his self-published something, followed by a P.S.: “Feel free to continue to ignore my work, just be prepared to pay a price for it that you might never have imagined.”

This was funny and sweet.

And makes me glad that I’m not a writer, frankly, because it sounds so, so hard.
