Oh my poor blog, I've neglected thee so

I know I've neglected you little ranters. Poppa's been busy sticking it to the man (#pause). Howeveer, I know that is no excuse for me ignoring the small contingent of the internet that actually reads my little diatribes (about 1/10000000000000th) so I'll throw you a bone. You tell a about me, and I will give you one post per week. Just like a normal blog, ok? Every Wednesday I'll be posting, hopefully my readership will acrue. I will also be doing weekly videos. That's all for now, gimme feedback!

Longevity in writing

Out of all the Talents and skills I acquire, I see longevity in language and writing. Being an author is not an uncommon dream, however, commonly people don't do what it takes to become that. It's a serious weeding process. The first obstacle is the actual writing. which is every author's worst enemy. We procrastinate. We run, we edit too much we criticize and we do all of this on page 1.

Once the writing is (finally) done comes the fun part of selling your book. Those fairy tale dreams of becoming America's favorite author and claiming your 15 minutes of fame are frankly unrealistic. So after your hopes and dreams are dashed you have to figure out how to make money off of your hard earned works.... A frustrating process all in all to say the least. However, I could see me doing that.

The measure of a product to me: Is it believable? is this product good enough to risk it all and look like a fool for? Would You give anything for this dream?

If the answer is yes, then Push it. That's how I'll push my books. Till every store is carrying them and I'm getting orders online, nonstop.
