Amanda Hocking is YA author who has self published her novels through Kindle and The Nook. Because of the amazing success of her e-book sales St. Martin’s Press has recently offered her a $2 million deal for her next four books. To learn more about her check out her blog and the article about her in the NY Times.
Now why should this inspire anyone working in production, specifically screenwriters? This should inspire you to finally take your chance at whatever you are aiming for. Amanda notes her success to video online she saw from her hero Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 in 2009.
“I was like, ‘That’s it!’” Hocking said. “This whole time I’ve had a passion and I’ve waited for it to happen. I need to do it.” She started to treat her passion for writing as an actual job and went on to write 6 novels that year.
If you want to be a writer then quit talking about it and actually do it. The same goes for directing, editing and producing. Get out there and make your dreams a reality rather than just waiting around for something to happen.
Amanda, you are my inspiration and I also really like your books : )
