From the book and blog column 'Death IS My Kickstarter'
You know, trying to write or create something that I find interesting is easy. Trying to figure out who the audience is to try to make it commercially viable....not so easy.

Trying to let every little kernel of an idea get out there seems like a good idea, but there are obvious faults. Some are awful...some are pretty good.
Ever since I found out the Doc may be cracking open my chest soon, or my aorta may just explode...I suddenly see things a little differently.
I now see that I don't get to decide what is any good and what isn't. I am broke and probably going to die a little sooner than I planned (but doesn't everybody). So....every idea has to get out there and hopefully there are a few little gems in here somewhere. Hopefully someone pays me, or pays my wife and kids after I am gone.
If not...eh. Who cares? If nothing ever works and I embarrass my kids, they can say my mental health was deteriorating. ( it is not, death is very liberating and greatly increases the ability to enjoy life).
You never know what will be successful. A guy made a fortune selling pet rocks. Just let them all go. One thing is for sure, nobody remembers the guy who never did...
I hope I live a long time and make a crapload of money doing things that I want to do....or I live a long time and enjoy doing things I want to do. I now realize this is how you are supposed to live your life in the first place.
Ya all come back now, ya hear
