Something about when all else is gone and the world is in chaos, eat rhe rich because you can’t eat money. There was an original quote I can’t reacall exactly but it’s to that effect.
I’m interested in this as well. Also is anyone using libre accounting or crm software? Gnucash seems legit, I’ve never used the foss crm stuff but it also seems good from the outside
Write something at first; maybe use one of your partial ideas and really concentrate on making something small, but good. Now, put that away somewhere out of the way, but still accessible.
Now, write something else entirely. Maybe another small project. Keep going. Write more. Do a little writing each day, and in between, read stuff written for different audiences. Read MLK's "Letters from a Birmingham Jail." Read some sci-fi. Read a comic book. Read a boring, dry report about something. Absorb, then write again.
Now, after a month or so, maybe two, pull out the first thing you wrote. It will give you a good gauge of the progress you've made. And you might hate what you wrote, and that's OK, as long as you realize that the first thing you wrote is the floor, and you're only going to get better from that point on. Finally, plan! Sometimes creative genius can come out of the ether, but it's best to plan and not rely on that happening. Give yourself a destination and rough idea of how you'll get there. Then let the wind take you.
lol no they aren’t. I get the impression you’re pretty inexperienced given your responses in this post.
Aerosmith, collectively, hasn’t got enough to throw at something to make it do what they want it to. They have maybe a few hundred million all put together. Bezos, Musk, even Trump who exists on credit and grifting can and do do that. It’s those kind of people (and I use the term “people” loosely) that the saying is directed at.
Writing a novel is really hard and takes a lot of skill. My advice is to start by writing short stories to develop your writing ability. Post them online to get feedback. Keep slowly improving until you are good enough to write something longer.
There are plenty of online writing sites where users post their work for feedback. One good one is Critique Circle.
Didn’t expect to see something so deep on YSK, but you’re not wrong, Sorry to be hear it didn’t work out. You are heroes for trying in the first place. Not every kid is a fit for every family. You gave it a shot which is more than a lot of other people do. Thanks for that, you’re a kind family.
