I’m “one of those” book authors. The kind that actually wants to make a living from writing books.
Which means, technically speaking, I’m crazy.
At least, that’s what I used to get told a lot, when I told people that’s what I was planning to do with my life.
Entrepreneurship—and a career as a working writer or artist, which is very much like being an entrepreneur—is one of the only callings in which a central requirement of the calling is to be crazy. At least, a little crazy.
