I'm always amazed at how so many people on /lit/ seem to be "writers".

If you're one how identify as such,
- how old are you?
- how long have you had some job?
- how long do you write
and, what I want to get at
- do you write next to your current job?

I mean how??

I got lucky and went into academia, so I get paid to do the research that would be necessary for my writing even if I were an independent scholar
>>
i'm writer

I really don't like that term even though it is accurate of me. Even if I am an amateur I would still be an "amateur writer". Writer just sounds sort of pretentious unless that's literally what you're getting paid to do.

I don't tell people I'm a writer. I think its better that way. If I was a real writer they would know it already.

What do you produce if you supposedly write 135 hours a month?

>>7991653
What writing is it that makes you money?

>>7991749

And what does your novel say about humans?

Saged and ignored

Getting to publish it, moving it around. I have no social skills whatsoever so that's not really my thing. I will get better at it, hopefully.

My novel is about monsters. It first presents humans as " hurr durr we're the real evil monsters" and then it completely negates this statement when something truly horrifying happens.

>- how old are you?
27

>- how long have you had some job?
Some job? Any job?
I've been working since I was 15, but I've held my current job as a Technical Writer for about two and a half years.

>- how long do you write
Ten hours a day, four days a week. Actual productive hours, however, are another matter.

>- do you write next to your current job?
Nothing of substance.
