I Hardly Finished School — Then I Wrote 5 Books
I'm not an author. Never was. Hardly finished school. No degree, no publisher, no training in literature. I just finished my fifth novel. In 2025 I discovered you could write a novel with AI. Something clicked. I did the research, wrote the book, formatted it myself, built the cover in Canva, and uploaded it to Amazon late one Thursday night. Next morning — blocked. No reason given. I changed the title. Tried again. Blocked again. Saturday morning I woke up to an email: account terminated. All 35 books gone overnight. No explanation. No recourse. I sat with that for a couple of days. Because it stings. Then I thought — the books exist. I exist. I don't quit. I found another way. Published on Draft2Digital and Google Play Books. Then wrote the second novel. Then the third. Then the fourth. Fifth one just finished. Goal: ten books this year. Ten next year. A guy with no degree, no retirement, and no business writing novels who didn't finish high school. This isn't about books. It's about permission. Permission to try something you're not qualified for. Permission to fail publicly and keep going anyway. What are you waiting for permission to do? 📖 Get my book I Was Falling Apart: https://t50plus.biz/products/i-was-fa...
