Andy Weir

I can't wait to figure out where that comes from.

A lot of daydreaming, I guess.

For me, I come up with like 100 ideas a day and usually 100 of them suck.

But once in a while, I'll come up with something.

I'm like, well, that's actually kind of interesting.

Maybe I could work on that a little more.

I don't think you understand how much these ideas suck.

One time I came up with an idea of this guy who just seems to be lucky all the time.

He wins the lottery, he just keeps going on.

But it turns out it's actually his cat that's just really lucky, but the cat likes him, so he's lucky.

And that's the story.

The big twist at the end is it's actually the cat that's lucky, not him.

So just so you understand some of the ideas that I don't develop...

What are you talking about, man?

This is a six-book series.

Felicitous Feline, Volume 1.

Exactly, yeah.

Well, you also don't see the first draft of even the good ideas.

If you read any of my book's first drafts, you would not like them.

What I tell authors or people who want to try to break into the business or people who are in the business and just ask my advice because they erroneously think I know things.
