I read a fiction in high school about like the afterlife, and it mentioned the best English playwright wasn't Shakespeare. It was some nobody who only showed his writing to his neighbor, but the neighbor was an asshole and told him it was trash. Don't remember anything else about it but that stuck with me.
That hits home lol
Amazing. I guess I should have expected that in this thread I'd find something that would sound worth reading, and then be frustrated.
Possibly Terry Pratchett humor?
A reasonable guess, but i think I (re-)read all of Pratchett as an adult and didn't come across it
That goes hard lol
