A friend of mine and I just finished writing our script for a psychological horror à le The Lighthouse and we've won a contest. Nice 5k prize. We forfeited all rights however, but our names will still be credited if the film is made.
Besides that I've been publishing a few essays while working on my PhD dissertation on the transcendentalists of 21st century.
I have a part time online college level essay tutoring job. I think it's the second most rewarding job I've ever had outside of in home supportive care for my grandmother. I get to teach people how to use the em dash constantly
I got promoted to Level 2 a week ago. Average buyer request is $1200 for punch ups, but volume is low. If someone only has a few hundred bucks and needs a book edited, I'll always do it just to get more reviews.
I wrote a ya romantasy novel. Only my grandmother has read it. I'd probably have a better chance at winning the lottery than being published, but I'm glad I wrote it.
I have 3 days to send my volume of poetry to the editor for a final review
Ive been slaving over it for 2 years, if I dont make it Ill write a houellebecq-esque novel about this shithole country with even more dog fricking, racism and prostitutes, and since I have a personal hatred for the city of Ghent it will serve as the Rouen of Extension du domaine de la lutte
THE PUTAIN GODDAMN HER, the b***h was the reason a senegalese Black person stole my ID
That harlot aside, I hate it, I hate how cutesy it is and how "teeheee arent we cool" it is, i hate how it pretends to be worth its existence, I hate the fricking chink students that cant tone their fricking voice down in the bar and cafe
i dont know if I hate Vesoul, Toulouse, or Ghent more
Ι once wrote a beginning of a story from the POV of a guy shitting on my city like that famous scene from The 25th Hour.

I thank God for living in Antwerp and not the commune of Ghent, however Ive had the displeasure of working in Bruxelles for two years >The Senegalese Black is a breed of its own calibre, its wiener dangling down to his knees, his simian features and yellow sclera overturning the possibility of rational thinking. The Senegalese is unlike any other migrant, choosing to adopt the American hoodrat lifestyle of selling drugs to schoolgirls and raping them in their dingy apartments paid for by the everyman, who is taxed to death. >This subspecies of Black is one of the vilest that roams the country, their favourite pastime outside of selling and consuming hard drugs being public disturbance; the Senegalese will frequently use its muscular frame to smash windows, spray graffiti, beat pensioners that voted for the payment of their own tribute, trigger emergency brakes on the subway etc
I'm stuck on writing my historical novel for years on and off. If I had written 1/3 of a page every day I'd have it done already, it's ridiculous.
Anyway, I'm in a small shithole country, so even if I finish it and somehow publish it nobody is going to read it.
I've been working on a book since I was 16. I'm 32 now. I would say that the duration I actually wrote and edited in that timespan is about 5 years.
Is that bad? A lot of people say it has potential. I'm sending it to an editor to fine tune it and then submitting to agents and publishers finally. It's a fantasy epic for teens.
I spend all day writing SEO drivel no one will ever read and I want to kill myself. Thanks for asking.
Can't that be done with LLMs? Maybe some editing needed.
don't sell yourself short anon, I'm sure search engine crawlers appreciate your work.

Congratulations anon!

I don't write. I have nothing worth writing about.
I wrote a ya romantasy novel. Only my grandmother has read it. I'd probably have a better chance at winning the lottery than being published, but I'm glad I wrote it.
Do you need an editor?
>the way my heart fluttered into the heavens every morning...
Oh God, this is so cringe.
But good for you for writing, so many people think of an idea but never write.
Your writing sucks now, but if you keep working on it it'll only get better. Good luck.

>Ghent
I visited it once 10 years ago, it's a nice town. What don't you like about it? Too many tourists? Too many immigrants?

I wonder—if I had 24 hours of free time would I fully spend it reading or would I make an effort to produce something
