It’s not that I planned it this way, you know. But two things occurred.
One – A simple photo in a WWII documentary I’ve seen many times. But this time, disembodied male voices called out to me. “Get us out of here.”
Result: I was dumb enough to try. It took me 7 years to complete the literary quest.
Two – So-called experts told me to write a simple pulp fiction series, and I did so, I’d rake in the online dough.
Result: Turns out I don’t know how to write a simple story, or series of simple stories for that matter, that I could write fast enough to rake in said online dough. It took me 4 years to simply complete one not-so-simple story.
Moral of a Multi-Years Tale: Don’t listen to disembodied voices wherever they’re trapped, and never listen to online experts if you want to maintain any kind of online content writing schedule.
I should have known better.
But knowing better is advice I could have given myself since I was a toddler.
