That’s a lot...

Question how did you become a NM @MrPushwood ?

"How do you be a chess GM?"
Answer: Study chess. Play lots of chess and even then it's nearly impossible.

the requierments are:
2500 ELO
3 GM norms(through tournaments with a very high performence)
possibly more(don't remember)
not to discourage you but... you seem pretty far off

"To become a grandmaster is very difficult and can take quite a long time! ... you need to ... solve many exercises, analyse your games, study classic games, modern games, have an opening repertoire and so on. Basically, it is hard work ... It takes a lot more than just reading books to become a grandmaster I am afraid." - GM Artur Yusupov (2013)

he bought a box of General Mills, when he put the cereals in his bowl, he saw a golden paper where it was written: "congratulations, thanks to your excessive consumption of General Mills the US chess federation offers you the title of NM (don't ask what that means, it's already costing us a lot to offer it to you!)" that's the story.
