  "The reason why I highlighted both of these stories is you'd assume Michelangelo michelangelo, even in his time, he was incredibly popular, not just commercially, also creatively. He had impostor syndrome. He had all of these things that we seem to think are modern artist problems, but then they are not. Then we have F.

  "There's no point. However, I had two realizations while listening to the Swell. First, I have already voiced on failed's thing, which is with regards to audiobooks being a victim, I would say, of a similar phenomena where instead of actual voiceover artists, now we have influencers and celebrities who are being prioritized. The second thing I realized, which I didn't quite voice at that point, was the Hayao Miyazaki methodology, which was oddly very effective for Studio Ghibli movies."

  "I don't like putting numbers to things, but then if you do have a journaling habit, which is something that I do have, it is hard to not look at the number.

• April 03, 2023@Binati_Sheth | Is being a full-time author sustainable?

  "Why do authors have to do this when their books have sold millions of copies around the world? Well, the answer is simple it's because of how you get paid in publishing.

  "It is he sends something irrespective of what's going on in his life. And I think that's a very good role model to have when it comes to writing a book of this sort because he's been practicing the thing for years. He's been walking the talk for years.

  "Today on work advice, let me combine the two things I do, which is assist the publishing ecosystem and also spend approximately an hour each day as a part of the creator economy. One problem that has no solution, no quick solution, is plagiarism. You will get plagiarized if you do something original.

  Click here to reply to @Binati_Sheth
  
  "And it does maybe restore your faith in humanity a little bit that people feel like they can justify fudging results just because more money would go towards charity. But what happens when you amplify this effect? This is where good ideas go awry. This is where utilitarianism becomes an oroboros or a snake that eats its own tail. Because the moment your outcome changes, so will your methodology."
