Narrator: T-REX HAS WRITTEN A STORY ABOUT A DOG THAT GETS SUPER POWERS!
T-Rex: It's awesome! It was about a dog who didn't have super powers, and then one day, he got some super powers.
Narrator: BUT THERE IS A DOWNSIDE:
T-Rex: Now everyone thinks MY dog has super powers!
T-Rex: I don't know at what point we all decided that authors aren't allowed to just make things up anymore, but it's totally what's happened to me! Somehow our fictions have all become real, and "write what you know" is the only creative option.
Dromiceiomimus: People actually think your dog has super powers?
T-Rex: Well, they think he's so great he INSPIRED the super powers. He's actually just - really angry?
T-Rex: But that's the thing! Even if I write about something implausible, folks assume there's a real-life inspiration!
Utahraptor: Come on, T-Rex!
Utahraptor: A lot of your previous stories WERE autobiographical. "My Tiring Day"? "A Story About Me (At The End I Sit Down and Write The Book You're Now Reading)"? If I were you, I'd write my next book such that if people DID assume it was about me, it would be flattering.
T-Rex: Yes! Like "The Day I Was EXTRA Nice To The Homeless"!
Narrator: LATER, T-REX PUBLISHES HIS NEW BOOK! IT'S CALLED "LOLITA 2: THE PREQUEL! NOW LOLITA'S EVEN YOUNGER"
T-Rex: Aw craps.
