I've finished a novel and a few short stories. Sent them to a few agents, publishers, contests etc. The feedback gets better and better with each attempt but I have yet to get that first breakthrough.I'm confident it will come in time, but in the meantime...
I love Star Wars and want to make a or YouTube or TikTok channel with reviews and commentary, but is that a good idea?
Meaning: Is it worth it for one to create online content about existing properties in an attempt to build an online presence while one awaits that first publishing breakthrough? Or is it better to just keep working on one's own stories?
Meaning: If it's not well received, then one could have spent that precious time writing their next novel or story. If it is well received, does one become typecast as a YouTuber, thus subverting their own art?
In addition, I have two jobs and a busy young family, so my art and writing time is very limited.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
