My whole persona, professional and personal, has been nurtured upon the interest created by the words I use. As a commentator of whatever. I would use words to continue my own interest. My own interestingness, the own interest I have in myself. Yes, my writing made me money by telling stories that were interesting, so I had to be.
Well I had that and it worked, it seems a lot of people enjoyed finding out the things that I thought but since not being a self glorified voice of the personal masturbation clinic of me my words seldom sell. It seems people want to self glorify and enjoy spending money on that goal.
