Hahaha i dont think i'll become famous. To be honest its going to cost a fair bit of money. For one, i'd have to find a artist to actually draw the pictures (cant draw for shiiiit) then go through the effort of pitching it to companies and hoping it will get approved.

A) dont have the time for this
B) Becoming a writer, not my thing
C) If no one buys the book, im out a lot of money.
D) They dont often get paid much, Publishing company nom noms it all. Be lucky to get $5 a book i would say

It's not exactly a mainstream book, i wrote it about depression, it would probably work well for a Children's mental health office (Which is what my mother does) So I'm probably better off trying to pitch it to QLD health. And there broke haha

Did the same thing with that project we presented at the Trade Show yesterday.

Everybody else took 6 months to make/design theirs, I took 2 weeks.

Apparently I was runner up to win 1st prize.

Speaking of which Uni semester done! Two exams and I've finished this degree! Just two Masters after that to go lmao
