These are a minority. I would be dreaming make it that big. I got paper and pen, a little brain. I don’t even know if i want publish, to get a dime. I want to write short stories, i tried to write a book, but what i want to say fits on one page. Something in between Roald Dahl and the brothers grimm. New age fairy tales.

My target audience are people who don’t like reading a lot. So i keep it short and come straight to the point.

How does one pirate their own work? You own the copyright so it’s not pirating.

I did okay for some years as a technical writer, but that market declined.

You don’t put your name it. Anonymous

This is actually a really good idea to an artist/writer who is starting. If you work is good its essentially a free trail of your work and will circulate your name faster. Hopefully when you publish more you’ll have bigger impact.

I would start out autobiographical. I would also start by writing letters. I’m writing a snail mail letter to my cousin tonight or tomorrow. Anyone can write a letter, you write trivial. I rewrite to make it more interesting. Sometimes I like my letters and don’t want to lose them having put so much time into them so I copy it at the library.
