In 1774 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published ๐ค The Sorrows ๐ญ of Young ๐ถ๐ฟ Werther. The novel ๐๐๐ made ๐ him ๐ด a literary ๐ฏ๐ฉ๐ superstar ๐ overnight ๐. It also ๐จ may ๐ have sparked a wave ๐ of copycat ๐พ๐ซ suicides ⚰. These, of course ๐, only contributed ๐ to Goethe’s fame ๐.
Imagine ๐ค the press ๐ coverage ๐ฆ๐ค when ⏰ your ๐ readers ๐๐ start ๐ killing ๐ช themselves. Imagine ๐ค the towering literary ๐ฏ๐ฉ๐ prestige ๐ฅ๐๐. Imagine ๐ค the people ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ who brag ๐ค that they can read ๐ your ๐๐ฅด novel ๐๐๐ without ❌ being tempted ๐ฅด๐คค to suicide ✍, only to be found ๐ dead ๐ by their own hands ✋, a copy ๐✒ of your ๐ novel ๐๐๐ by their side ๐ณ. But ๐ it won’t be everyone ๐ฅ, so you’ll have plenty ๐ of readers ๐ for the sequel.
Goethe pressed ๐๐ฒ on ๐ and so should you ๐จ๐ป๐.
