I guess it still hurts to read, though in a different way. I’m so sorry about the confusion.
Just delete that post, and this one, and pretend like it never happened. That's what your average blogger would do.

For the record, I do not believe Jen is a hack. I think a majority of the artists she covers are tho.

Ditto #5. Also, I figured the names were changed to protect the innocent.
i still appreciate the post and liked the story. there is a display of early talent and it makes DFW's suicide all the sadder. thanks.
I'm glad you apologized and took responsibility, because reading that with the other article left me in a bit of a dysphoric haze this afternoon.
i have a hard time believing he wasn't relating, to a large extent, his own experiences
