Actually no, lol. Zach ended up getting a fair number of pieces of me because I write what I know (e.g., being miserable and trying to find solace in intelligence, acting like you're only lonely because you're better than anyone else, severe OCD but not realizing it because your understanding of it is so limited), but I truly don't think of myself as being this man (nor would I want to). For an actual self-insert, look at a ton of Scribble Hub stories and the sprite viewer within re:Dreamer. There's a canon answer to which character I am within the story, and it's the character with sprites tied to the developer commentary system (which you can unlock with the patron password, which is in the changelog of this version).
No no, I get it, and I am even more surprised than you are. Ever since I was four years old, I thought I would be doing engineering and thus penned myself as the edgy "emotions are stupid and art is wasteful" STEM type. The fact that I ended up with a career as a writer is still shocking to me even after 5 years, to say nothing of how I am allegedly good at what I do and am very much in the vein of a bohemian auteur author stereotype, coffee addiction included.
