Day 23rd of NaNoWriMo and I haven’t even crossed 10k words yet in my fantasy novel. Damn it, Oren, how will you ever get published like this? I thought.
It’s like this every day. I’m always thinking about how to get out of this quicksand trap that is my financial debt. How can you realize your dreams when you’re bothered by survival?
I have so many book ideas, but I also have a debt of around 40K dollars. I’m working full-time and lots of after-hours, too. When do you find the time to do something for you, and how do you find peace of mind to do it?
At some point, I invested most of my time here on Medium. When I realized Medium is a long game, I continued to write here but subconsciously decided to write less than my first months here. Consequently, I don’t earn a lot from the MPP.
Jumping from one project to the next is not foreign to me. I usually do it if I have an intuition that it will be great. Most of the projects I started are pretty high on the coolness chart. Nevertheless, then they stay bare while I shift my focus when I realize the idea wouldn’t solve my financial problem. At least not in the short term.
