“…the literary world is filled with kooks and fanatical people obsessed with writers but they don’t write themselves or are afraid to.
I can always tell who writes for a living by what they want to discuss with me.

And if it’s discussed it’s usually in terms of endearment, writers who influenced us to attempt to make money writing.
Anyone who fantasizes about writing or being a writer and maybe just writes casually and privately, oddly wants to talk about authors.
To critique them categorize them and talk about their interpretations of their works and other various judgments on why they are good or not. If you ask them why they haven’t published they tend to have a list of cowardly reasons why they can’t bring themselves to completing or showing anything they have written or published themselves …”

They start second-guessing stuttering, thinking about the end before they even start, how they will be perceived.
So they smooth out the grit and trim the edges. They neuter themselves - those are the ones who never write they are too self conscious or insecure

Talking to me about your favorite authors is not writing.”

“Build a publishing house of your own, so that your books can live and be purchased by your readers directly. 100% profit is better than any split offered to you. A book publishing deal is exactly like a record deal.
As soon as you sign and receive an advance you, you’re in debt. They promote and profit off your book thus they earn the Lion share and give the writer scraps. It is the publishers children who benefit from your intellectual property, not yours.
I know best selling authors who can not afford to purchase a house. Learn the business everyone who’s been through first grade can write. If you want to make money learn and own the business.”

This has really helped me enjoy the moment the excitement of living and building a life rather than lamenting on the next milestone or accomplishment.
One day we will also say, I used to do this and I used to do that and I miss when it was like this or that or I looked like this. And back when my children were still young. So the here and now feels like a second chance or that I am reliving so every day feels exciting.”
