RE: Wrong. No no no. This is wrong and incorrect.
I write for a local blog once a month, been doing it close to a year, and it is slowly killing me. All the writers make tiles like "How to teach your baby to sleep in 5 easy steps!" That is not writing. I keep trying to push the boundaries.
That bucket is certainly more attractive than bear feces. Although it is a bit sadder looking than bear feces. There is so much shooting and burning in your woods. And shiting, apparently. But nobody looks down on a bear for shiting.
I do a lot of rambling here. I get them all out here.
The majority of writing on the internet is rubbish and an insult to intelligent people. But you already know that. I landed my first writing job in 2008, and I made it about 6 months before I started really hating myself, and everyone who told me what writing was supposed to look like. I then proceeded to spend another 10 years hating myself as a professional writer. I've been on hiatus for a few months now, but it looks like fate is going to drive me right back to that world of grinding out shit copy in order to make rent and put beer on the table. Oh well, at least I can still work from wherever I want.
The "rambling" that you do here on Steemit is exceptional. I hope you can find a different local outlet that realizes it, and offers you a gig that won't slowly kill you. :)
I can definitely see myself describing it that way if I did more for that local blog than the odd bit once a month. It sucks the creativity out of you. But, working wherever certainly is a benefit. I experience the opposite with my husband, who is generally gone 12 hours a day.
Thanks for the kind words.
