ha ha. You know what?Ya damn right I haven't made a dime writing...but I hold on to the fact that Steven King, yup Steve himself had @35 finished books before he's sold 1. This is the one of the greatest writers of all time. He made a living writing porno for Penthouse magazine. He was told by many that his work was trash and that he would never make a dime writing. Now, these so called agents seemingly didn't know a damn thing about a good thing.
So who is to say that these agents, who either don't take time, don't have the time or aren't willing to take a risk know a good thing when they see one. I am a damn good writer--I write what I know, what I have seen and what matters to me the most. I have written 8 scripts, most screen writers have what 2 if they are lucky. I write novels, poetry, songs and short stories.
I thought about self publishing--Nah, I would rather use the time and effort that I use books out the trunk of my Whooptie writing scripts.
I write urban. You see, hip hop is not just a fad hip hop or urbanism has invaded the planet. Agents, I don't think know it yet. I am going to keep on pushing. >:
