I was kind of trying to become an author, in my case a writer, and I spent a lot of time perfecting my style and polishing my chapters, and studying the novels I read to write well and interestingly. But a month ago I finally gave up when, after studying the material and asking other people, I realized that I had no chance.
And if there is a chance, then for a year or several to become the author of AI, and I did not want to stoop to such a level, for me it is the greatest shame and insult. Alas, soon there will be much more real art in the comments than in these generated empty shells.
Yeah, I’m damn offended, and yeah, I think I’ve made a post like this before, but now I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk, and now I’m damn hurt, and I keep writing, and I don’t even know why, but I feel like I have to.
Yes, unfortunately, in addition, I am not a native English speaker, so this post may read strangely or stupidly, alas, but I apologize.
Can you imagine yourself doing all kinds of “bubble work”? The writing of your books, lecturing the books of others, cover design, maybe teaching writing to a small class, enabling you to stay inside the writing bubble? Then you have a better chance. This is similar to how other artists make a living. As a painter you’ll do all kinds of image-related work like logo design, gretting cards, prints for cloths and so on. As a musician you make loops people listen to while on hold, sound effects for all kinds of media, sample libraries for other musicians (basically virtual instruments), some audio engineering for small gigs and so on. Those are the people who can actually make a living with no or rare occasions of having to work a normal job. You still need to have a frugal lifestyle but it helps to not get lost in the usual grind. Lots of small jobs which aren’t paid that great, but ideally it adds up and you can your bills. This is something I would recommend as well. You’ll learn many things which will be helpful later on.
