You can be edgy at any age. Dude you can be like 45 and have a goth playlist it's fine.

@JonLeePeto Only downside is formatting is a bitch but you figure it out as you go. Good luck if you try it. I'm def hoping to get something out of it.

I'm getting back into Neighbor again. I'm in the mood to write about weird crazy people.

After over two months sending in more applications than I can count and getting the rare rejection among no response at all I've given up. There's no hope for me. My focus now is trying at entrepreneurial work in any way I can.
I'm not even angry. It's weirdly freeing actually to get rejected all-around because now I can pursue my writing without the guilt that I'm an imposter who really should be looking for a real job. There literally are none.

@CrysTravel2019 I looked into volunteering and from what I read it would basically do nothing for me at my age. Really gig work is looking like my only option. So I can stop trying to fit into the wagie world. Lol my bad. But thanks for the suggestion again! :)

I went over to Ingramspark with my anthology because Amazon sucks and will not let me change my phone number. I called customer service (I was polite I'm not a Karen okay) and they said they'd email me. Hello? That was a week ago! Anyway I'm published now! Ingramspark distributes your book to various platforms, one of them Amazon and a few others I don't remember. It wasn't intuitive for me but I got it figured out how the process is essentially. I'm officially an author in the sense that I have the chance to make money off of my work. Lord knows I need it! I'll share my anthology when it hits the stores. Could be a few weeks. Yay! :)

Happy 19th to this site.

I'm gonna try something really stupid. I'm gonna take one of my short stories, and try publishing it on Amazon for dirt cheap and see what it does.

@JankyFluffy Nice! I hope you are at least getting something for them. What I've decided to do, is take all my old short stories and create an anthology out of them. Could probably sell it for a buck fifty. Lol
JankyFluffy
@bosandaros Hope it goes well. My short stories aren't big sellers, but it's good to have them on Amazon. Though, I hear volume helps.

You know a wacky idea for a story would be about someone with no idea how to drive getting behind the wheel of a delivery truck. Aka literally my life if I get this job. What a learning curve! I still have to get my license, and insurance, and I still have to pray to whatever fucked up deity have you that I don't kill the nearest living thing on the road. Necessity is life's greatest driver!

It's been one month searching for an entry level job. For every twenty applications I send I get two interviews and both are rejections. I'm starting to get depressed. I'm trying Upwork, but I don't know where it'll lead. I'm so tired. I literally feel like I can't unclench until I get a source of income, just something. My life feels like it's circling the drain.
