Hopefully this will be the last time. Now that I've officially been assigned a shift, someone with more seniority can't just decide they want it. Probably.

I'm on the night shift again

These forums are almost entirely made up of writers. You're not going to find many people who are willing to do everything besides write the story for you unless you pay them directly out of pocket for it. You'll find even fewer people who are willing to do all the boring parts of publishing a...

I'm in my thirties and have never once broken a zipper in the countless pair of pants I've owned. I have also never once zipped up my junk. What I have done is go out in my public with my fly open because one of the buttons came undone. Today.

I learned that some companies make pants without zippers. Just a row of buttons on the crotch. And the hospital I work at makes wearing these pants mandatory.

I had my company orientation today. I also found out that I'm not going to be working the night shift. Yeah, despite applying for a night shift, interviewing for a night shift, and being hired for a night shift, a couple days after my job offer another guard decided he wanted the night shift, so...

Oof. Massive self-own, right in the reading comprehension.

...okay, sure, whatever. You have no limits and are capable of doing what literally nobody in history has ever been able to do. And instead of using your freakishly extraordinary talent to become a multi billionaire bestselling author, you're publishing your stories for free on a website that's...

Claiming you have no limits is pretentious. You're a human being, not a god. All the typos and and grammatical errors you made in just those three(?) sentences I quoted prove that you have plenty of limitations, and the fact that you can't see them isn't a good sign.

Not necessarily. Like I keep saying, there hasn't been a single author in all of history who has been able to successfully write in every single genre. Even the most prolific authors specialize in a small handful of genres. Stephen King has the widest assortment of genres under his belt that I...

And just because you've written something doesn't mean you've written something well. The reason you're not able to sell them being because you can't write them well. By testing yourself, you find out what genres you're best at and which ones you're not, which tells you which genres you should...

I managed to get a couple more hours. I have a feeling this is just going to continue until I get so exhausted that I have no choice but to sleep through the whole day. It should be fine. I don't actually start work until Thursday night.

Because I realized a few years ago that if you take the first letter of my last name, the first two letters of my first name, and the first three letters of my middle name, you get "badger"...if you don't know how to spell "badger". Luckily, I do know to spell "badger", so I did that, then...

I've wanted to write a litrpg for a while just because they're the easiest way to break into the webnovel market, but I refused to do what so many other authors are doing and just tack an rpg system to a normal fantasy story and call it a litrpg. I like litrpgs where the presence of a system is...

Tried that already. Now I'm lying awake with a headache :(

It is currently 3:15 pm where I live, but for me it's more like 2:00 am. I'm starting my new job as a night shift security guard this week, so I'm trying to transition into a night shift schedule, staying up all night and sleeping during the day. I'm pretty good at the "staying up all night"...

If it's similar to a genre I normally enjoy writing, I might be able to make myself do it. But if someone were to offer me money to write, say, a harlequin romance, the answer would be no. I just wouldn't be able to do it. Hell, there's been a couple times people have offered me upwards of $500...

There isn't an author alive who can write in every genre on earth. Even the most skilled and prolific writers specialize in a small handful of genres. For you to claim that genre doesn't matter is one of the most pretentious thing a writer could possibly say. That depends. You'd definitely have...
