    Do you doubt our inquisitiveness? 😉

    Does this mean I can count on you for another 5,147 pages, @Cat0703a ? 🤩

    Wouldn’t people get tired of me questioning everything??? 😅

    As an amateur novelist, is it wrong of me to draw inspiration for storylines from that thread/post?

    Is now when I should be finding a lawyer to set up a royalties in perpetuity agreement, @nossmf ? 🧐

    Do you honestly think we could ever tire of you, @Cat0703a ? 😨

    Can't I guarantee you would spend more money on the lawyer than you would earn in royalties off my sorry writing "career"? Do you know how much profit I have made through the sale of 225 copies of my first novel? If you said more than $100, mind if I start laughing? Any guesses how long it'll be before I quit my day job and devote myself to writing full time? Mind keeping those guesses to yourself, so I don't break down in tears?

    Why does this remind me so much of my career in art?

    Are you telling me you earned less than $1 per copy you sold, @nossmf ? How is that not considered outright robbery?!

    Why does this comment make me so sad? 😢 Was is hard to continue to find passion in making art when you counted on it to make a living, @AdahPotatah2024 ?

    While I likely would have made more through a traditional publisher, isn't it far harder to turn a profit when self-publishing and accepting all the costs of production which come with? Isn't this why I'm hoping to get my second book published traditionally (and possibly get a re-release of my first book through the same medium)?

    Could I answer with a yes and a no since I was completely burnt out by portrait photography, while I continue to love painting? Do you think the Habitat for Humanity will ever start refusing my boxes of donated paintings!?

    Haiku Hijinks, anyone?

    Although I'm thinking
    the answer is obvious,
    what is the question?
