      • Yeah. I thought that I'd be a bestselling author and get paid as a famous writer. After working very hard to pitch my novels, and even winning contests here and there, all the agents' rejections over the years (100s) got tiring, so I focused on teaching and am currently working toward my Ph.D. in linguistics while continuing to become a bestselling author.

      • Only in academic writing. When it comes to creative and nonfiction writing, I've looked at writing as a way to express myself and grow. So, it's never become a writer's block issue. It's important to take the time to experience life and investigate a character's life before and while writing, and between drafts. Also, with a proper outline and organized writer life, writer's block is very much avoidable.

      • Not only that, but also stars. My stomach sank when someone gave my anthology 4 stars instead of 5. You can't please everyone. Now that it's happened, I'm prepared for the worse. It hurt, though, because a team of 42 people, and thousands of authors worked on that anthology since 2018, and it was finally published November 2024. After such hard work, I expected more reviews and higher stars from every reader. People actually died while making the book, including two of the editors and a few of the authors. Honoring them and the writers is important to me. That said, if the work were only my own, I wouldn't mind 4 stars instead of 5 or bad reviews, but would read them for entertainment and to grow.

      • Always makes me smile. The first time was the best because the person referred to me as, "that writer guy." He didn't know my name, but remembered a story I'd read at an open mic night. It was a euphoric experience. From then on, I knew that my writing would take me places.
