Nonfiction Is More a Meritocracy Than Fiction
I wouldn't say that nonfiction is more a meritocracy than fiction, but I would say that the individual has more agency in nonfiction. Whereas like the fiction world is littered with talented potentially brilliant authors or creators who their books sell 66 copies and they'll never get in front of an audience. And so when I think about what I'm doing, I try to think like, you know, is success here in my power or not? Right? So, so nonfiction, right, not meritocracy, but many more paths, many more paths to non trivial sales than fiction.
