A pulp writer's tidal wave

[Writer]

This is my progress thread. After all, it is said that accountability is important in each and every task we do.

Publish a book on Amazon. DONE. As a matter of fact, I wouldn’t classify it as a book as it is a simple 1500 words short story, but I did it. I am out in the wild now. I created a cover, which is actually pretty decent, and it is free for the next few days. Out of my comfort zone.

Study e-publishing market.IN PROGRESS I began studying some of the self-pub market, mainly looking at online resources. And this forum.

Write a 10000 wd long story. IN PROGRESS. Last night I wrote the first chapter (about 1500 words), going for the next. I plan to publish it ASAP. This will be the first book I will try to make some money from.

Write more stories. IN PROGRESS. I planned already a few plots, a couple of them in detail.

Publishing house. NOT YET. Long long long term. I have an idea.

Misc. In my presentation thread I said that I would've invested about $10k in AAPL stocks. DONE and made some money out of it. Scared as hell, this is really far away from my comfort zone.
