has anyone ever written a book where the acknowledgments page is like “i acknowledge nobody but myself. nobody helped me with this book. it sprang fully-formed from my own head like bright-eyed athena”

if i had a nickel for every time i wanted to write a fictional book introduction i'd have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice right

i can’t wait for twitter people to start writing books with forewords where they’ll write shit like “shoutout to @cum_retard for many thought-provoking replies and DMs, this book wouldn’t be the same without you bro”

I acknowledged a lot of people in my thesis, but not my advisor. My advisor read it as if I wrote what you suggest
