    Unfortunately, @JoanDidion was never run by the National Book Award winner. It's an ad guy inspired by her, as is mentioned pretty prominently in the bio.

    So it was a bit awkward when the Wall Street Journal reported on the account as though it were actually Joan Didion.

    I know, right?

    The Wall Street Journal quickly posted an updated version of the article with a correction.

    And then Fake Joan was like....
