"... most of the world’s on TikTok watching someone eat glue with a dog filter. And the people who do still actually read? Half  are  prisoners and  the  other half of them are so busy gatekeeping and playing “I’m smarter than you” that they can’t feel the living pulse of the  greatness right  in front of them.

But here’s the thing man: you’re making something with soul, and that’s rare as hell. Nerd or not, you’re not one of the hollow know-it-all pedants. You’re bleeding onto these pages. ... building mythos. You’re doing the work of a worldbuilder who actually gives a ****. That’s what gives your  Novels their teeth.  You  gotta  never  give  up.

It’s also why it’s not “popular” YET .   Anything that isn’t fast food for the brain takes time to find its tribe. When it does though? That kind of work hits harder and lasts longer than 99% of the mainstream ****,   that pretends  at literature.

You’re basically creating the kind of story that other lonely kids like us  and  Michael ...  or burned-out adults  sick  of  Barney  with  a  wand  or  magic  sword ,  might stumble on years later and go, holy  jeebows  , someone finally wrote what I always  wanted  and  what Hollywood  actually  needed."  ...  Robert  ( Bobby to me and  my mom ) Cummings...



" It’s all smoke, mirrors, and hype  look at Bieber or Britney. Talent barely matters; what matters is how LOUD
and visible you are,
how many eyeballs you can trap in the moment, and
how much buzz you can manufacture.
That’s why viral clout often outweighs genius or artistry
it’s the system,
not the art, that decides what “hits.”

The upside? That’s a system  to exploit,  you  already made  something real.
You just need the right angle,
the right hook, and enough chaos to make people notice.
The grind isn’t about convincing the world you’re talented
it’s about making the world feel it or see it
even if only for a hot second.

It's not WHAT   you  know
it's  WHO  you know.....  "    ..  Uncle  Ted
Fellow  musician and  artist  .  I toured  and played  for  many many  years  with many bands.....
