I thought it was about a reclusive, depressed writer who can't thing of anything to write (suspension of disbelief and losing the plot), but he's sort of a know it all and likes showing off to people. But when he's feeling bad, some people who got mad at him for being a pedant came to try to get him to be more modest and also give him some advice. He got the advice, but he already felt crappy, so they didn't really influence him there. Later, he reflects on their visit and (in the second person) realizes that they're right, but still wants to be a know-it-all at them.
I like the suicide idea, too, especially with the countdown. Maybe a suicidal writer? Eh, who knows, it is TMBG, after all.
