The first bit of inspiration for my future novel just came to me.
I knew I wanted to write fiction but didn’t yet know about what. But as I was sitting in my living room yesterday, doing absolutely nothing, it came to me. Completely out of nowhere.
So, what’s my novel going to be about?
Vikings.
That’s it. That’s all I’ve got so far. Perhaps even just 1 Viking.
Yes, one big Viking dude in a completely foreign world, a fantasy world—this is my second piece of inspiration, which I gained while writing about the first.
The last thing I want is to limit my creativity and adhere to historical accuracy.
Maybe I’ll add historical details to the design of the character, or some references here and there, but nothing is forced.
If I want to have my viking dude steer a spaceship with one hand, blasting through hordes of undead alien kangaroos, while eating a banana in the other hand, then so be it.
It’s funny that it took me so long to get this little piece of inspiration.
I’ve talked about how I’m constantly listening to Viking-themed music as of late and absolutely love the feeling and the vibes connected to everything Nordic. And don’t get me started about Norse mythology. That’s simply awesome.
I don’t care who you are. Everyone loves Norse mythology—some just don’t know it yet.
On to the pitch for today.
Now, you might be thinking “how is Alex going to pull this off? What’s the connections between his viking-novel inspiration and business?”
And you know what, great question. There’s absolutely no connection. Yet it’s entirely connected as well.
In fact, everything is always connected. Don’t believe me? Just watch.
You see, it’s all about freedom.
I have the freedom to design my own world, create my own characters, come up with my own backstory for my viking dude and the quest he has to go on. Hell, I have the freedom to write about this in my email and make you read all of it, while still making my business work and getting paid.
That, my dear banana lover, is absolute freedom.
There’s simply no better feeling than this. And it’s easily achievable by building your business the right way.
One of the aspects of building your business the right way is building your email list and making it a centerpiece of everything you do.
(Did you see how I, in my not-so-humble opinion, masterfully bridged the gap between viking dude and business?)
