Live like you are already dead. Imagine yourself as if the spirit of a fictional deadman has taken over your life. A dead fictional character you liked. No fear.
As for loneliness, JS....you are never alone and have never been. Countless living creatures fill you and support you, surround you and coexist peacefully with you. Listen, feel, communicate, with reality....Humanity ain’t but a speck, and mostly ignorant in floriduh. Best to be like Doolittle and talk to the animals.

Remember it clearly says: "literature." Not every word is true. Most of it is, though...
Keep writing.
I am not discounting your advice either

I had to do this to survive, JS. I was nearly scared to death. Intimidation…phase one. How does one overcome fear?
