RE: The Beautiful Affliction (Writers Writing on Writing)
Excellent summary of the life and mindset of a writer. Your position is a combo of 'sucks to be a teacher' and 'sucks to be a writer', but you still find ways to enjoy bits of both. Nice work here, and ought to be required reading for anyone with delusions of grandeur.
I'd offer that any writer should write because they enjoy it (as a first priority), and if you happen to get paid for it, that's just a bonus.
Typically that means you'll probably get paid in bags of zucchini or pennies of crypto, but it's better than nothing.
Exactly. I could never handle the life of a full-time Steemian, so instead I write a bunch of pop culture essays and stuff about video games and a serialized novel... whatever the fuck I want to write really, and if I get votes, awesome. It's all going into Steem Power anyway. :)
