Becoming polarizing and not sugar-coating your ideas and thinking is a pretty good formula to stand out in the writing world where most are afraid to offend others.
Thank you for your insights! I’m learning so much about the value of showing up, day in and day out, and the compounding nature of fractional improvement.
I'm really curious as to why you think most people over 40 are going to be unemployed by AI. I mean, Sam Altman is almost 40 and he made OpenAI. Are they unable to learn new skills or something?
Marketing and sales for fiction aren't too different from nonfiction, but if I were you, I'd find someone successful in sci-fi/fantasy and learn how they specifically leveraged their stories. There are certain tactice, like character and world fandoms, community building, and even pitching to TV/movies that are similar but different enough to want to seek specific help from successful fiction marketers. Just my 2 cents, and as someone who has never marketed fiction :P
It feels good to see so many people who are able to make a living by writing. What a pleasure ! You love it AND you make money. That's amazing. Congratulations to you !
I love your honesty about yourself and appreciate these wonderful tips. Congratulations on your success!
You are an inspiration for upcoming writers..
Like you said, you share your opinions the way it is not for anyone to like you
And I think that's how we should be.
Create your content believing there is one person that content is for..
You aren't creating content for everyone
Love your breakdown and tips.

Keep it up!
Correction: you are talented.
This was so honest yet inspiring. Writing is a long game. Growth is slow. It's a snail's journey, the writing life.

It's all in the not-stopping muscle. Through hell or high water, you can build something great if you just don't stop.
You're definitely an inspiration!
wow, great breakdown! 🤩
Great stuff Michael! Subscribed.
Thanks for the help! I’m a fiction author. I write a lot of sci-fi and fantasy. Where can I learn marketing and business skills for my writing?

Awesome thoughts in here! I'm curious though, what does ghost writing entail and how do you even get into something like that?
