I want to become the next big writer, but I want to remain writing for fun, publishing for free on my site under Creative Commons licences, and writing mostly fanfic or even real person fiction. People feel sorry for JK Rowling for being a professional, despite the fact that she is a millionaire.
But people either love my work, respect me, or even think I’m preposterous or blasphemous (which indicates I may be right). People would cringe at reading the Harry Potter books now ("TL;DR") but many of my old stories, aphorisms or factoids are still funny and fresh.
Emma Watson is currently the most highly paid actress in Hollywood, who rose to fame after having played Hermione in the Harry Potter films. It makes her comparable to Arnold Schwarzenegger who also used to be the highest paid actor.
But it’s not as if she is the new Arnold Schwarzenegger. Instead, Arnold Schwarzenegger will forever be remembered as the old Emma Fuckin’ Watson!
Poor Emma. Why do we feel sorry for her?
Let me try it again. It’s not as if Taylor Swift is the new Madonna. In fact, Swift is the new Socrates! I’m sure Ms. Swift will approve of the new Taylor Swift factoid.
It does not have to be this way.
