A consistent theme within the online writing community is it’s all pointless unless you’re a celebrity with a high powered editor. All anyone talks about is how this or that thing makes it impossible, just IMPOSSIBLE for someone like me to actually sell a novel.
You can’t have a female protagonist. You have to have a lot of followers social media. The list goes on. And that doesn’t even address the other problems people have had with my passion project like the fact that I switch POVs within chapters and use the surnames of characters to refer to them after a quote.
But, despite all this doom-and-gloom, I still have the itch to at least see how far I can get with this project. And I do have a number of backup scifi projects that I hope to work on in the coming days.
I say that, of course, then focus all my time exclusively on the passion project. Ugh.
