A4 I will keep doing this as long as I don't actually start losing money. It's a slow burn but I'm going to continue to build for as long as I possibly can. I think I have a pretty good idea what direction I'm headed in. #writestuff
#WriteStuff A4: I don’t want to self-publish because of the cost. I also don’t want to spend all my time begging anyone and everyone to read my novels just to break even. I might just be lazy, too.
#WriteStuff A4:
Kinda. I want the story to be told, mostly as a game that tells the story as a solvable mystery. And the novels and short stories to accompany this to give a feel to how the world works.
Makes it complicated with the format and will take a lot of time. But is okay :3
#writestuff A4: at this point I can only write if my heart is in it. Money and everything else be damned. If I don't feel it I can't write it. Sometimes I can't write it even when I do feel it!
#writestuff honestly I wish I had the grit to just write regardless but my kiddo said if anything he'll get my stuff published when I die so there's less at stake :P
I'm currently trying to rebuild half of my career after some major betrayals from people I trusted and a disruption in income. Trying to get back on your feet after you're stabbed in the back multiple times is hard, and even harder is the pointlessness of the cruelty. #WriteStuff

Also,
The money flows to me, not away from me. If it doesn't do that, it does nothing at all.
A4: Nope. It's all free time, whenever whatever I feel like type of vibe. Of course, I have very little of this.

And so i refuse to do it as anything other than my pure enjoyment.
So i will always look forward to be creative and will always be looking back at the process and be happy i got to do it :3
So on one hand, it sucks that I'm not making more money... but on the other hand, I don't have the pressure of needing it either.
