This is probably the last one of these I’ll write for a while, as the truth is I’m not writing anything at the moment.
It’s become harder and harder to make any kind of mark as a mid list author. It’s certainly not possible to make a living. Major bookstores are now investing only on the big glossy hard back top of the list authors – and often those aren’t authors who worked their way up to the top, but celebrities who fancied having a go at writing and found themselves bestsellers – after a huge marketing campaign sometimes involving actually buying the top seller spot.
So at the moment I’m disillusioned with writing books and have no idea if I will even continue.
I’m going to take the winter to consume as much media as I can – books, TV, podcast and see if any of those feels like a good fit for me. If I can’t write to live I might as well have fun with it and try something different.
