15 years of a nightmare journey

 Never chase a dream

I should have had more belief in my judgement.

When I started this journey into my hell, 15 years ago, I was told it could take 10 years to be recognised as a writer; here I am 15 years on, and the only people interested in me are some people from Nigeria.

Overall, I can't say my time as a writer has been enjoyable; I think I should have done what has been on my mind for a long time; I should have quit years ago.

I always thought I may have peaked early when the early books in my science fiction series did well.
