RE: Things That Will Bring You Back into the WRITING ZONE (Indie Author Series)
I'm a Buddhist so I meditate most days, the problem I have is that the stories and ideas that I come up with that I personally like seem to be the ones that do the worst. For example, a recent idea is about a suitcase being passed around from mobster to mobster and each mobster undergoing some sort of bad luck, not realizing it's because of this crocodile skin suitcase. We'll see how that one goes. The other thing that sucks is when I post the story like that on here I get about a $1.50 usually, but on the other hand the other day I posted a picture of a frog and it got $5.00. So it was like...... 2 hours to write, outline, and put together the first chapter..... a dollar fifty. But then five minutes to throw up a picture of a frog $5.
Yeah, it happens like that doesn't it? Perhaps adding a pic of a crocodile will help the mobster story fare well! :)
Awesome that you have a regular meditation practice! It's certainly that way for me too, on Steemit and other platforms. You never really know what people will connect with, it's difficult to anticipate. It's best to write for you and not the audience, I've learned. This way your "tribe" will find you eventually. When you write for you, you're automatically more passionate and real and that's truly what people connect with.
