Bookish Choice: EENY MEENY MINEY MOE

A literary minded witch gives you a choice: with a flick of the wand, you can become either an obscure novelist whose work will be admired and studied by a select few for decades, or a popular paperback author whose books give pleasure to millions. Which do you choose?

Hm. Let’s see now…

To be a popular writer whose books give pleasure to millions would definitely mean a big fat purse. And I verily believe no one in their right mind would object to becoming rich.

But with popularity comes public scrutiny, celebrity status, the gossips — the kind of thing I can do without, thank you very much. I hate the spotlight – they make my pores more visible.

So I guess I’ll play safe and go for the obscure novelist. It’s okay by me if my story-telling talent will only be known to a select few. Nor does it matter that my book will never ever be a best-seller.

What’s most important is for me to know that I’d have given it my all, that I’ve put my heart and soul into my work, and that I can be sure what I’ve written will leave a lasting impression to those who cared enough to read it. The rest is just gravy. 

Alright, I’ve made my choice. Now Witch, do your thing!

Thanks for reading 🙂
