Theme: cooler than expected

Rules: no NSFW and has to be a snap you took yourself.

I think we should make themes optional so if you have a pic you want to post that doesn’t fit, you still can, what does everyone else think?

        It makes me think of waves breaking on the shore. Perhaps the old route out of Wellington with the road next to the sea and the waves that sometimes broke over the wall onto the road. The green is like an ominous stormy sky from a story book, and the darker bit between the lighter top and the waves at the bottom is like the swell of the sea. There’s probably a monster in the water.

                Interesting! If only I enjoyed fighting against the odds to get my 32 line story seen by an agent in order for the small royalty cheque that goes mostly to the illustrator that is much more well known than I so gets the bigger cut!

                  True, true, the only way to make money seems to be self publish and for that you need space for a garage full of books!

                  I’m not sure what it’s like these days but NZ was always so small we don’t really need an agent for local publishers, though.

                    From a young age I have known I wanted to be someone that sits at a desk with a steady pay cheque. I’ve never dreamed of entrepreneurship.

                    Also I spelt entrepreneurship right on the first try and I’m super proud of that 😆
