I know there are some aspiring journalists and writers on here - and some dudes on here that SHOULD be earning money writing comedy :lolbron: - but is anybody on here making any dough as a writer? Or an artist of any kind for that matter?

it's really hard, ive been writing since I was a kid, and I have never investigated it much, but it's hard as fukk, I take a class right now, and people have to get grants to get works published and then hardly make anything selling them...it's not easy at all. Something i wrote is getting published, really small collection of poems/short stories...which is cool, but i won't see any money from it.

Yes, but I have no advice to offer unless a specific question is asked. I'm a self-enterprising freelancer

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
No, but i had a chance to.

Imo: doesn't really matter how awesome you are if nobody knows about you.


Put yourself out there; i recently got asked to write for a couple who run a venture capital company here in the Emerald and all they wanted me to is compose daily emails for their team. How i was discovered: all i did was employ the same kind of sense of humor i does here as i does in my jobs cust. serv. emails and voila (during the 2 months that her Q7 was being worked at our shop, i communicated with her several times a week to keep her updated on the status of repairs - to keep her at bay/reassured/minimize complaints, the rhetoric spit via yours truly was delivered with a chalk full of metaphors and ridiculous one-liners to end the message - essentially, with the similar flaire i caress these threads wiff. She loved them so much she said, "come join my team". And that was that.).

These vent. cap. companies have a lot of money to play with... might as well get paid by them. But you would think, right?

Smh at me not taking the job due to fear of pressure and not believing in my product/thinking i won't deliver - they would have doubled my current salary with full benefits (which i have none at my current) and after 3 months, unlimited light-rail/bus pass to and from work and ultimately, access to the company Smart Car...


... and it was the convertible electric plug-in jumpoff.
