Why I Live An Ambition-Less Life
I don’t feel tired or dead anymore
What do you expect to feel when you reach the place for which you have sacrificed everything?
Proud?
Happy?
Worthy?
I had a call with my agent yesterday. He was telling me how I should maximize my potential by launching a course on writing, or perhaps, claiming how to become a bestselling author or how I should start making reels on Instagram and then repurpose them on YouTube and that will get me brand deals — a lot more money. Because, otherwise I am just wasting the audience I have.
I asked him, ‘What do you think I am?’
Before he could answer, I asked one more question, ‘What do you think I am looking for?’
He said, ‘Well, you are an author and you are looking to make money from your writing.’
I said, ‘See, you don’t know me.’
He said, ‘What do you mean?’
I said, ‘Nothing. Good night. It’s my bedtime.’
It was 9 PM.
Yes, I am kind of old granny.
A couple of days back, I was having a conversation with one of the writers on Medium and he asked me how much you make from Medium.
