A laudible objective for any young writer. I might recommend that you improve your grammar a little (or, more likely, start making an effort to follow the rules you already know). Aestheticism was always the best defense of pedantry. Wilde wouldn't have neglected a capital letter for a nanosecond of 'convenience'.

A sage does not possess wit in any great amount, they possess truth. Wit will do as a substitute in a pinch, but will depart just as easily as it comes. The truth alone endures.

One cannot take anything any other way on the internet. without tone of voice and facial cues, we only have what is written, thus we take it seriously.

its unfortunate that the internet should have originated in the era of irony and post-sincerity, but there you have it.

If you have to point out "wit" and ask others to compare your witticisms to more esteemed authors, then it's not wit you have. What you have is a preponderance to pathetically grovel and ask for anon's approval.
