Embarrassing that someone would actually spend time doing this. Even more embarrassing that they'd show it to others.

While I can appreciate the earnest effort that goes into a personal hobby that, frankly, seems to have taken over and become obsessive, I'm going to stick to things recommended by the New York Times and Oprah and the like.

The journal factory explodes and here we are. Make some friends and get a life.

Couldn't really get into this. Didn't know where to start or finish so I pretty much didn't do either. I'm afraid it doesn't fall into any category of anything I know. Which may be my deficiency but I've read a lot of different stuff from a lot of different kinds of people from a lot of different times. But that obviously doesn't mean I know it all.

Doesn't really seem to be saying anything and it's not saying anything in obtuse and alienating ways. No one has the time for this kind of not-saying.

The author seems to be out of touch with the current. Times have changed and it strikes me that the author's a bit lost and doesn't know what to do. So they're writing. I guess it's better than engaging in violence. Thanks for that.

There's a peculiar quality of arrogance and misanthropy that runs through the work that's very off-putting. Some compassion, grace, and self-criticism would go a long way. And a ruthless editor. And maybe pay attention to what else is out there now that's really really good.

The author clearly lives entirely in their own messed up head and not only doesn't want to get out but at this point probably can't.

An incoherent rambling illogical vomit. Sorry - I know that's not nice but it's true. Just want to save others from wasting their time.

Another over-educated wanksta who was told way too early and for far too long they had talent by delusional and doting parents.

Whatever the author's intentions are - and it's hardly clear to me - humans are pretty unanimous in wanting to hear stories about us told in ways that are entertaining, build bridges with the audience, and - despite including the more challenging and tragic aspects of existence - trying in some important ways to bring hope, light, and compassion to our lives.

OK. So the author's divided themselves into 13 personalities and they're cycling through them dumping different personas and voices into each. Neat idea I guess. But the craft is in the execution ... the craft is in being able to communicate the idea coherently to people ... the craft is in constructing meaning for people ... the craft is working recognizably in a tradition to enable communication ... n'est pas?!

Don't waste your time. More than ever we need clear, concise messages that break through the morass of verbiage, mental illness, and misinformation to intelligently examine the world we presently live in and present it to us in ways in which we can make sense of it. Everything in the dooverse seems to be aimed toward doing exactly the opposite.
