>wanting to be a professional author
This is probably the dumbest fucking ambition in the world. Everyone wants to be an author, but less and less people are reading novels.

You just have to write the "next big thing"

The e-book industry and the audience for YA novels only grows bigger. Self-publication of fiction is a pretty appealing field to get into.

I've always wondered whether or not this was true.

I didn't say you should read YA shit. It's just the easiest path to being a financially successful author.

When people become professional authors, money is not exactly a priority.

I could definitely write a great action, war, or crime movie. But I cant succumb to the inner plebian, I must continue to write purple prose and investigate unsolvable problems that have been written about ad nauseam.

>>7973395
That wouldn't be eating shit, that would be making shit. You die if you don't make shit because it builds up and your bowels explode and the shit poisons your everything in your abdominal cavity.

Ergo, you, are retarded.

Wanting to be a professional author is pretty dumb desu. Mostly wanted by people terrified of manual labor/actually working.
I don't know why this board is so obsessed with being writers. Total arrogance. You guys really think you have that much to say?
