Being a freelancer is s**t

Have kinda been forced down the freelance writer route but the anxiety and stress it triggers around earning enough to cover the mortgage and bills is horrendous.

What’s also shit is being new to a site and folk giving you a hard time because you’ve yet to grasp the etiquette. That’s really shit.

And finally, it’s shit when you post something that matters to you and no one reads it (see above) 😊

Walmart hires most anyone.... of course not me. When I tried, the store said YES but their BIG BROTHER said no, Loves did the same thing, also GOODWILL, the disability refuge. I qualified that way but no job, the invisible BIG SISTER said no.

Nobody thinks they can survive by freelance writing, its an accident at best, have a good back up plan or good friends with help with your support...

Some freelance indie writers are so powerful they eek out a living. Lee Camp is one example, there are some others. I guess your "hook" is essential, I could never survive from writing and cant do it any other way either, universal across the board blacklisted.

Not to be discouraging....

Tom Paine died poorer than a churchmouse but he engendered the American Revolution. Maybe if you did homesteading in a communal way with others your support $$$ needs would be minimal...?
