These days, Aiden realised the truthfulness of words said by a random actor on his first audition.
He was extremely new back then and was talking to people in an attempt to get more information on what type of role that they were auditioning for.
It was then that he had asked a question from a guy who seemed pretty experienced. Apparently, he was someone who had been going to auditions for a few years.
"Why did you want to be a writer?"
That was the question that Aiden had asked. He was expecting a standard response as to how he loved cinema and wanted to be a part of it.
But the man had simply said.
"Because it has money. I don't need to be under someone and even if I do one or two projects a year, I would be able to live well if I'm smart. Even if a movie fails, you still get your payment. No job is like this. You are your own master in it."
At that point, the man had seemed extremely practical to him. But it was only after all these years that Aiden was able to truly feel what those words meant.
'Life has never been this good before.'
Aiden thought as he took another look at his laptop screen. Half of the chapter was already done and this was his third chapter for the day.
He was extremely relaxed these days. Just taking time off to focus on a few of his hobbies. With money in his bank account and no rush to do any new projects, Aiden realised how much of a good career acting could be.
In no other career could he take a few months off without notifying anyone. This was a blessing for him and he was spending a lot of time on his web novel in this free time.
For his first book, he had felt like it was difficult to write a lot of chapters in a day. Most times, he would only do 1 a day.
One of the reasons was also because he was trying to make it as good as possible.
But for was slowly moving to the top of it.
'Like this, my web novel might even be among the top rated novels in a few more weeks.'
Aiden thought in his mind and began writing again.

As Aiden was enjoying the process of writing, a lot of people were looking at his novel. That includes an editor from a publishing firm that often recruits authors from this website.
As these novels already have a good following on the internet, they are easier to sell. Moreover, the market for ebooks had increased by a lot in recent years and the publishing company, Wiscer Publishing knew how to sell ebooks.
These days, Jeffery, an editor in Wiscer Publishing, had found his eyes glued to . We need to give him a publishing contract and sign him up before anyone else does."
One worry that Jeffery had was some other publishing company getting the author first. It was really about who could offer a contract first as new authors tend to just sign up at any offer.
"Sir, but he just started posting two weeks ago. Ain't it too early?"
His assistant asked as she looked up at him. Normally, they won't sign up rookie authors. At least until they are really famous.
"It is but it's an exception. The novel is too good to stay under the radar for too long. We need to move fast or it's going to be snatched away."
The assistant just nodded, hearing the confident voice of her boss.
She didn't voice out any of her personal opinions, knowing full well that Jeffery was someone with a good eye and vision.
She got to work quickly and found out everything she could about 'The Dreamer', a pretty simple yet philosophical name in her view.
She sent him an email about the contract and whether he was interested. Normally, any rookie author would jump at the chance.
The assistant was sure that this time, it would be the same but when she got a reply back, the author had rejected the contract.
