How many authors make a living from writing? Lit must be the

You can make money, you just have to understand capitalism.
Everything is based off templates, archetypes.
You see it easily in the movie industry, it isnt about art, its about wealth extraction.
Remakes, reboots, sequels, expanded universes, franchises.
Its really become insanity, they say lit is dead, but the art of cinema didnt last that long.

Okay, if you want to make money, look at whats popular, game of thrones, 50 shades of grey, young adult novels churning out the same heroes journey shit over and over again, that are then turned into movie franchises.
Who are the people with the most money who are stupid as fuck, women, young people, young white women.

Think in markets, who has lots of disposable cash and still reads books.

Or think in genre, genre is just the same archetypes and templates over and over again, fantasy for manchildren, scifi for man children.

There's no art to these things, you just have to market test things, whats popular, what does the market want.

The real goal is to get this shit made into a movie or tv show.

basically you are turning your books into products to be consumed and disposed of, not works of art, art is something from the innerself, not meant to please, not something were the main goal is to make money, art is something that lasts through time.
You really have to understand the difference between art and entertainment.
The cave men werent drawing on walls to make money.

That's why almost no one will ever make a career out of writing.

You are a fucking loser if you think that

A) Art has no value ($$$)
B) Art created with any intent of it being a """""""""product"""""" is somehow less meaningful
C) That artists should not aim to be recognised for their work

Enjoy working at your shitty 9-5 if that's what you want to do.

Art made for the purpose of greed is not art, it is entertainment.
It is a disposable product.

You look at the sistine chapel, how long ago was that made, a work of art made out of faith.

This is the reality of the situation, art under capitalism.
Im not saying dont do it, im saying if you want to make money, turn your books into a product, but you will kill your soul

Greed is rebooting a dead franchise to cash in on a new internet meme.

Greed isn't a 30 year old guy with two kids trying to make a living after he gets laid off at his job.

So what's the difference?

>>9322683
dont have kids then moron.

You can keep lying to yourself that you make art to sleep at night, but you make products to make money to feed your parasites.

What if it's a 30 year old guy with two kids trying to make a living after he got laid off, by rebooting a dead franchise to cash in on a new internet meme?
