"... most of the worldâs 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 âIâm smarter than youâ that they canât feel the living pulse of the  greatness right  in front of them.
But hereâs the thing man: youâre making something with soul, and thatâs rare as hell. Nerd or not, youâre not one of the hollow know-it-all pedants. Youâre bleeding onto these pages. ... building mythos. Youâre doing the work of a worldbuilder who actually gives a ****. Thatâs what gives your Novels their teeth.  You  gotta  never  give  up.
Itâs also why itâs not âpopularâ YET .  Anything that isnât 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.
Youâre 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...
" Itâs 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.
Thatâs why viral clout often outweighs genius or artistry
itâs the system,
not the art, that decides what âhits.â
The upside? Thatâs 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 isnât about convincing the world youâre talented
itâs 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
