  • you find out that your story becomes real and regret writing in that bazooka-loving serial killer   
  • your mystery series takes off   
When you are going to write a romantic novel and fail it's probably because:
  • you drawn a nasty comic   
  • you didn't have the word "passion" on every page

What would be different in the idea (you are going to write a romantic novel) if you had a million dollars:

  • you could buy out all your edition
