Now at over $25 million…definitely next-level But I can relate to one thing – he was talking in the beginning about how much time he DIDN’T have to write books outside of his core series, and had begun to resign himself to it, and had let so many other story ideas begin to wither and die. I definitely feel that about a lot of my story ideas. I’ll write them down, but between work (the kind that pays the bills, which writing definitely isn’t for me yet) and life, I usually have very little time to write. On the other hand, those stories get time to percolate more. Hopefully, when I get around to writing them, they’ll be better for it.
But I did take advantage of 2020 and wrote 3 novels in that time period. That WAS refreshing 😀
Yeah, I definitely have ideas whose time came and went and they’ll never get written because I didn’t write them then and new ideas came along to take their place. And congrats on writing the 3 novels in one year!!
