There is at least a possibility that I now have six additional novels in this project after I finish this first novel. Maybe. Possibly. I’ve thought out a total of seven novels, that is. But I’m not going to live forever and if I manage to actually write and sell a break out hit novel, I’m going to try to squeeze as much out of what few years I have left in life as possible.
The heroine of my novel looks like Morena Baccarin.
I want to be a regular fucking modern day Tom Wolf.
But even he had time to both be an icon and write novels, so it’s not impossible that I could possibly do both.
And, yet, you know, I really — REALLY — need to start to manage my expectations. Even if I get what I want — success – I won’t get what I want, which is to be successful, cute and young.
I’m going to be old, no matter what. And it will just be creepy if I swoop in and try to be cool with 24 year olds at this point in my life.
It’s all very disheartening.
