The children's book I'm trying to publish...
Definitely, the advice I received
to not do fiction,
was good advice.
I'm doing fiction because I had written a story
and all I had to do,
so I thought, was to add pictures.
Wow! My trying to get artists to draw a picture of a kid by
showing them pictures of different kids, proved to
nearly be futile.
Basically, I didn't get what I wanted.
I started with 4 artists on Fiverr.com, cut 2, then paid for
pictures from the other two artists to see which artist was
the most suitable for doing the whole book.
Neither of the two remaining artists were suitable.
So I'm going to take a short break
from trying to communicate what I want
in my children's book.
Hopefully, when I find some more possible suitable artists,
both,
my communication skills
and
the new artists' communication skills will be better than
those expressed during the past 7 days.
-or, maybe the artists just need to have better artistic skills. I don't know.
Yesterday, I looked at horse racing and the odds of winning. I had hoped that if I bet on all the horses that I would win no matter
which horse came first.
But no. It doesn't work that way. In fACT, IT isn't even close!
The past two weeks I have been reading and learning about trading
and the stock market.
I had been thinking that eventually I would end up growing my
large earnings via the trading,
but lately, with my frustration with technology, communicating to the artists, and lack of enjoyment of doing something
creative, I've been more interested in just getting money
without working way too hard trying to do something to get it.
I do still have to learn more about trading, but my
learning about how I'm going to possibly make money,
seems to be a lot more fun than learning how to try to
make something from which I possibly can make money.
There still is my list of things I want to make.
But, at this time,I would say that if I continue to spend lots of
time learning how to make something, and then try to make it, and
then, try to sell it for a small amount of money, or worse, don't
even finish it, I may never get enough money, or have enough time,
to make the things that are on my list!
So, the plan right now, is,1)to get other people to finish my
children's book, including publishing it;
2) get other people to finish my other
books, including publishing them;
2-3)get other people to make money for me from "Now We Shall Begin;"
1-3)continue to learn about trading;
4) trade to make more money;
1-6)make sleep a priority;
1-6)continue socializing 4-5 times/week
for fun, for making friends for fun, for making friends who I
can contract work to;
5-6)get people to build the things on my list and appropriately sell them so that I keep part ownership;
6) do the other things that are on my
list;
