You seem to confuse cause and effect. Oh wait... I must precommit to talk like a major character... But I cannot precommit unless the author writes me that way...
The author can choose to avoid characters with your state of mind, but they can't choose the decisions implied by your state of mind. You can precommit to act like a major character, in which case you won't be a minor character, but you may fail to get in the actual story.
Seriously dude, who writes stuff like that? Maybe your agent can get you something else.
