I'm incredibly creative. I make things out of nothing.
Sometimes I get paid.
Said I should shorten it. Make it more “accessible”.
I told him I would think about it.
He’d keep coming up with new names for me, to see if I’d bite.
Again and again I told him I liked who I was and who I am becoming.
He gave up and we moved on.
I brought a new project to him.
He said it was wonderful, but it wouldn’t sell.
Offered to make me the next big thing if I made less thought-provoking material.
I said I don’t like junk.
He said my future bank account wouldn’t care.
He gave me a book recommendation on sales and I gave him a recommendation back:
A book on mathematics by a self-taught mathematician.
He said he’d heard of the author.
But he wouldn’t read it because the author didn’t make millions in sales.
I argued that some authors don’t always make millions in sales.
He never got that numbers are an imaginary thing.
He never got me any work but bought me lunch at a fast-food restaurant one time.
Talked about the biggest name in his industry as if they were friends.
I looked them both up on Facebook. They were not friends.
He’s no longer my agent.
