I don’t write fast enough
to jump on any trends.
By the time,
I’ve written the story,
revised it twice,
went through three rounds
of edits,
formatted it,
had a month of pre-orders,
the trend is usually over.
What I HAVE done
is catch trends
by having the story
already published
and available.
I market the sh*t
out of it
under the trend
and make
awesome sales.

“By the time
you show up
to chase the cool kids,
it’s probably too late
to guarantee a sinecure.
What’s the alternative?
Publish.
Consistently.
With patience.
Own your assets.
Don’t let a middleman
be your landlord.
Yell at Google
for blocking your emails
and hope it’ll work eventually.
Continually push for RSS
and an open web.
With patience.”
If we produce
enough products/services,
we will eventually
luck into a trend.
Be prepared for that.
And produce
consistently.
