1) Hey guys,
I pretty much came on here to say I most likely won’t be trying to be an author anymore. There’s literally so many problems with my ability to write and outside forces affecting that too which are far out of my control. I’m in a situation where I can’t just go and pursue endeavors like that. For a couple years now, I’ve been in a very BLESSED situation in regards to money and being able to take care of myself.
Pursuing a career where you literally have a 1% chance of making it big and rich is literally ridiculous to pursue. Especially when I’m making about the same or more than what the AVERAGE author makes in a year. I’m not putting that much time and energy into writing books if they aren’t gonna make it big, which even then, NYT BESTSELLING AUTHORS STILL HAVE TO WORK A FULL TIME JOB unless they jk Rowling or Stephen King or something. Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE for 99% of us who aren’t at that level of success.
I’m not saying it’s absolutely unachievable for me. Ik if I was to try my hardest, never quit, and keep practicing, I COULD make it one day, but it’s just the fact… I HATE writing original stories! I hate it so much! Everything I write in regards to that is STILL FANFIC in some way! I always have to borrow existing characters and try to change them but I literally have NO IMAGINATION OR CARE to create my own 100% authentic characters and world and just oml T-T it’s so bad yall! And then too, I just wanted some kind of adaptation of my books in whatever way but there’s literally AI for that now! I could just use that if I’m really desperate lol I probably won’t but yk what I mean
