How Many GameLivers Will Read My Novel When It Is Done?

[Vegas Dave]

Hit some walls during the brainstorming process and got side-tracked with a few other things. Hoping to pick this back in January, will keep you posted!

Based on your phases we're looking at at least 2 years?

It's been 2 years

I'd read it, and reading is something I avoid.

Last push I made was like summer of last year. Had made decent progress outlining, but when I tried to start writing I just couldn't get into it at all. Paralysis of analysis, maybe?

Reality I think is that I stupidly tried to follow advice I've read and heard a ton "your first draft is going to suck anyway, just start writing!" and got frustrated instead of trusting my own instincts which were to outline the living fuck out of it. Everyone's process is different, and I'm pretty sure IF I ever write a book, that will be mine.

So was going to reset with this mindset, but then in August got married, a promotion, and a puppy in the same month. That was a lot.

Puppy/Job stress + boring ghey mental health stuff = creative rut that lasted quite a while.

Last month or so finally starting to get back in my groove. But book is on hold for a minute as I recently started AI "vibe coding" at work and am in the process of building this incredible automated SEO system that I'm pretty sure is going to blow higher-ups away, be widely adopted company-wide and put me on the map.

Currently hyper focused on it, working on it non-stop even during non-work hours. Basically have to perfect it before my brain can move on.

And when that day comes (quite soon I believe), I want my next big obsession to be one that makes ME millions instead of my company. Gotta get to brainstorming and building 🤔
