For Hire....?

I’ve been in the UK for nearly a year now...and still don’t have a job. Granted, I haven’t been actively looking, but that’s because I struggle thinking of jobs I could apply for that have minimal social interaction. I’d love a job that doesn’t require me to please and alleviate customers...that’s too stressful for me. Curse this social anxiety! But there’s not much like that for me. I would love to write for a living, but I’ve only managed to land one client once. For $100. Yay. It’s all so competitive otherwise, and I worry it’s going to be just like my channel on YouTube if I try to get myself out there. 

My channel on YouTube has hardly fifty subscribers...and not counting. I’ve been on that channel for at least two years now. If I start getting my writing out there, I just know it’ll fare the same. My works are gonna get pushed under the rug, and then the rug’s going to get walked on by thousands of better writers. This will happen even if I do advertise myself (which is hated in YouTube comments so I don’t even want to try the same thing with my writing). I wouldn’t mind earning from blogging, too...I think this blog is using Adsense? I don’t even know, because I can’t see ads. The Adsense connection to this site seems difficult to understand. It probably doesn’t matter because nobody is clicking on the ads because nobody is reading these blog entries. 

Hello...?! Is there anybody out there....?! Are you reading this?!

I just don’t know what to do. I don’t have a degree in writing, but I didn’t think I needed one. The only experience I’ve had is what little I’ve done for this blog, and like 7 years of writing Sonic fan fictions and a year or two of currently writing novel-length Xenoblade stories. 

If you’re a business guy or lady who needs a writer......I’m here? Or not. That’s okay too. There’s much better writers out there, and I’m nothing to the competition. 

Maybe the 0 people that are reading this can share this blog? So I can get a foot in the door to writing? Or....you could just slam the door on my foot. That’s cool, too. 

I love writing, even though I’m doing it for free. At the moment I wouldn’t mind a 9-5 and never earn anything off my writing...as long as the 9-5 has minimal human interactions. Ugh. 




Well, time to go back to the writing board. The I-earn-nothing-from-it writing board.
