Tim Storrs
“I started with one book, now I’ve lost count and I’m making comic books writing producing and directing movies, selling merch from stories and characters I’ve written years ago people ask me about characters I’ve made up as if they are real people and when will I create another story for them.
I always was a writer because I enjoyed it but once I decided to be a professionals in behavior and action in action discipline and consistency and decided to make money it happened no one can give it to you. But once you decide it’s on the sky is the limit.”
