1. Depressed writer shoots himself.
2. He killed himself, because he felt like he was no good at writing, compared to others.
3. Assuming that he doesn't have contact information to his online friends, and he has no family, or friends in real life, his assets would probably be sold at a police auction, and the profit would go to pay for his funeral.
4. The story suggests that the author, when he was younger, felt little of himself, because he was no good at what he enjoys to do, compared to others.
5. I'm emotionless, i didn't know the guy, and he had no friends or family in real life that would miss him. His only friends were online friends, and they would probably soon forget about him.
6. I'm not very good at sympathy, so i wouldn't know what i would say to him, but maybe something like this: "Hey man, are you okay? Want someone to talk to?"
7. Well, i'm not sure. He hasn't taken any writing classes. I'll have to go with a wannabe author.
8. It wouldn't matter what his ex-wife is, my answer would still be the same. The only person that can make him an author is himself.
9. Copy and paste.
10. ... >.>
11. Yes. (don't understand the question.)
12. I would think that if you read so many of a style of writing, by a certain author (i don't read books by that author, i have to bullshit an answer here), you would begin to see the world a bit more like that author does.
13. I think it would stay the same colour. i don't think reading books over a certain ammount of time would change someone's hair colour.
14. He would grow a rainbow mustache.
15. Shit
16. Probably wouldn't change the way i answered the questions, except for this question. i would have then said "Today is Monday..."
