Writing Silly Books To Cash Out

[JevinR]

I was thinking of writing some science fiction novels and making up some random bullshit stories about random shit like a place with 7 continents and different elements in the continents, and they have different clans based within the continents and they have certain environments,structures, ecosystem type of things. And there is a big mass of land in the middle that is a sort of fantastical area, a sort of desert type of area, I'm thinking something from World of Warcraft or along the lines, some sort of large continent or area that different types of monsters walk amass, (I was thinking of drawing these monsters, and making up certain characteristics and shapes and sizes, weapons, abilities, height, weight, sort of like a national geographic index of the monster/creature/being/thing-a-ma-jig) and then there is a certain labryrinth that a set of heroes, or what is sought as a secret treasure or forbidden knowledge or something like that. Basically I'm just putting a bunch of bullshit together and stringing it together somehow and it comes together and then finally publishing and selling it as an ebook, novel,short story, epic.

What do you guys think? I'm not sure if this is my life purpose, but maybe a hobby on the side? Whatever, at long as it sells.

@JevinR go for it, I like the big flow of ideas and enthusiasm, don't get in the way of that, it's the best time for creativity to flourish, when you let it all go without thinking too hard or being a perfectionist, even if it doesnt work out, that's just cos you're getting started, creative ideas are few in the midst of a giant list of all the one's you spouted out from a place of not caring!

Storytelling is an excellent life purpose! It's a great outlet for deep creative expression and it helps you discover your passions in life.

@JevinR For me it sounds like you just want the money? And then there is better stuff around to do.

@JevinR i would write if i could be paid for it. But im not a writer. Stephen King comes to mind...he wrote so much BS and earned so much money effortlessly and enjoying it i guess. Good luck. I think writting is a nice activity if you can get money from it.
