It’s not about people in 2026, or skinks, or Martians. And the dog does NOT talk.

Here we have a "short story" (more of a thinly veiled blog post, really) about a totally fictitious writer who is unwilling to compromise her vision by introducing plebeian genre-fiction gimmicks into her work.
I don't really see the problem. A well-chosen and well-used gimmick is just a more interesting way of writing the story one would have otherwise told through common, everyday images, a way of giving the reader a different perspective on the mundane. It's only demeaning if it's done badly.

An interesting look into a fiction writer's possible dilemmas and issues, but it tries to be so serious and comes across as so whiny that it's hard not to shout "first world problem" at it - even for someone that understands the problem and sympathizes with the protagonist.
