| Topic | Has anyone written a novel before? |

If I turn out to be any good at writing novels I'd like to make it my career. Not in the slightest, lol. The six published were commission work and paid like shit. I'm hoping this big one will take off, but the odds are against it. Bottom line is, if you're in the novel industry to make money, find a new career. One strategy I've seen have some success (for other people. I've never tried it) is the quantity over quality approach. If you can write decently and quickly, you can shit out a book every 6 months and self publish it on amazon. If you know your genre keywords, pay $100 for a genre-appropriate cover, and write good ad copy, you can get a pretty steady stream of sales going and even build a following. But rapid release is key to this strategy, as is having a grasp of tropes and genre expectations. If you price your books at $1.99 and sell 10 copies of each a week, you're making $400 a week, which isn't terrible for a writer. If you're good enough to be successful and sell a hundred of each a week, you're making a damned good living. --- "Even MarthKoopa has jumped on the MarthKoopa hate wagon." -DevsBro ...
