I do many things every day......

@MarkHowittSlammed out another win online just before coaching...... get me while I'm available :)
Chess honestly is so surreal....... like you have to actually WORK at it to get better...... coaching helps you get better yourself though.... as when you can coach something you know you really know it....... still working on my own game :)
Welllll yeah....... I mean when it's done....... I mean I should get a few thousand right?
This is what I was thinking in 2004...... writing my novel.......
That didn't happen.......
People have this kinda illusion about writers.... about how they are rich/smart?
You really think even chessplayers like Andy are BUYING my novel? People in general? Nopes, for a lot of people they want to spend their money on alcohol and tattoos.....
When you've read over 3,000 books...... you know that a lot of writers die poor......
Maybe a few get rich but few...... from the writing at least......
Orwell was like destitute many times in his life..........
FLASHFORWARD
But when you HAVE written a novel for 5p an hour.... and got over 1 million views total on your writing........
You think you like 'care' what people think when you write? You know the best writers have been censored, unpublished for many years...... a lot had died by the age of 40 or so...........
This writer still has money........ also doing CHESS COACHING today.....
I know I will be known partly as a financial writer when I die...... over 500,000 views on my share articles..... which is a quick way of writing it yet they also contain political content and other money saving TIPS..........
Who knows........ maybe I will publish the Chris Bailey emails before I die lols.......
Because MONEY is just one of the benefits of writing..... it's a small benefit tbh........
The true writers never care or really think about money while they're actually writing...........
Once people know you are a writer...... many SMART people respect you........
You think in 2004 I ever thought I could have a FIDE President like my posts?
A guy who's managed 2 billion dollars and sometimes doesn't sleep for 48 hours or more because he's doing shares give me tips.......
So many more things I could say.......
This free blog...... I keep a few thing hush hush......
But the real ones know.........
So I'm already a bit famous before death..... but more to come while alive ;)

I've played in Hull before......... somewhere like York would be more scenic....... still should be good event I will watch a bit in between my coaching!
