Ahhh! Thank you so much for sharing! I so relate to your experience being a creative with multiple interests, passions, and pursuits. The freedom self-publishing brings is definitely unmatched for those of us who defy genres and make content that doesn’t fit neatly inside pre-existing boxes. (Where’s the fun in box-think, anyway?) I look forward to hearing more of your adventures! I also look forward to actually reading WBTH. I already bought it! It’s been sitting in my kindle for months! Can’t wait to deep dive into a fellow misfit’s weird brain. LOL
Thanks Alexa! Yeah being a multidisciplinary artist is fun, but hard when you're trying to appeal to multiple audiences at a time. I do actually find some overlap between my Lego fans, my Comedy fans, and my writing fans, so there's some fun conversations sometimes where people tell me they found my books through a video of me yelling about Lego.
I think you'll like WBTH, most people read it twice, needs to be done as it changes shape!
I'm happy you've kept writing and accomplished so much in the past 10 years. The world needs your voice. And less boring boxes to stick writers inside.
Thanks and thanks again! Yeah, I am glad to be breaking boxes but man is it hard at the start. The path of the comedian-author is a jagged, freakish path made of uneven ground littered with crabs with laser guns, but we are in cahoots.
It took me a couple of days, but I got through this epic post. I really appreciate you sharing your writing journey here. It gives me a new appreciation for your book (and a motivation to pick it up again- no reflection on the writing which has me hooked, just real life chaos with the last puppies going to their new homes).
Thanks man, it's been a weird few weeks. One always feels like quitting during these anniversaries. This is the 10 year anniversary of me having no regular income and surviving off family. Just lost a job and missed out on another one in the span of a week. Being a creative is nice, I get to write stories faster than the average person, but it makes me essentially unemployable.
I want to support my family, not the other way round, so I'm hoping soon someone famous realises how good my writing is, because I am exhausted.

Hey Alexa, thanks again for this comment! (I am hunting through old posts, trying to regain some trajectory!)

Just remember: when the crabs show their laser guns, we counter with temporal mines. That will show them time is on our side.
We can do this
