My immediate ambition is to finish starting with the Greeks

You never finish

Wow, how do these come together, you know, STEM and Humanities.
I am about to finish my lit degree was thinking to into a STEM field afterwards.
what say you?

I said I will finish starting with the Greeks, not give them up entirely. So, after I finish starting with the Greeks I will continue continuing with the Greeks -- the lesser works of the major Greeks or the major works of the lesser Greeks -- and then I will end by never ending with the never-ending Greeks. I hope that clears it up.

>a tour of sorts to promote my work and do talks etc
This is honestly why I don't even try to write any more.

Why not?

It's perfectly normal and has been for decades.

It's actually pretty fun. Go to different towns, crash at people's houses, meet literary qts. Better than stocking shelves.

Conversational and business English in Japan.
Might teach highschool in China soon though, they have some pretty nice jobs coming out over there.

One of the things I like about literature is how it's something I can engage with in solitude. The idea of a great whoring yourself out tour where you have to enthusiastically work the room every time seems absolutely horrifying desu.

I'd rather be le mysterious hermit type of writer but I think that's out of the question these days.

Do you actively maintain a social media presence for promotion purposes and such?

Is this like a ESL thing or a job you could make a career out of? Teaching in China sounds like it could be fun, I've studied Chinese in HS and it was pretty enjoyable.

Your competing in an attention competition and are only using hand essentially. It's possible but you better produce something amazing

>20
>been a neet for a week now
>to read nice books

The conversational/business school is like a pay per hourly lesson type gig. Usually it's going to be 15+ age and very small groups or 1 on 1 teaching.
You can make a lot of money, but it's 'performance' based which in Japan means students rate you which will give you an instructor grade.
You are paid a base salary which is okay, but the real money comes from repeat bookings, high ratings, 1on1 bookings, special lessons and a bunch of other shit that will earn you bonuses.

The problem is you become more of a performer than a teacher. If you are good looking and funny and tall and white with an interesting eye color you can get a lot of amazing raiting from thirsty housewives.
If you are some low charisma forgettable face you better be an amazing teacher who can teach people a ton without them ever feeling confused or annoyed.

The China jobs are more traditional classroom settings. You can get those here in Japan too but I have no experience with them.

Solid impression of a girl but posting it on here shows it to be false.

I think most writers would honestly hate that aspect of their job and most of the greats would have hated to do that. Your words on paper should be enough but also literature isn't really for the masses anyway until you're dead

Formerly known as Gaskun?

What is a logistics salesguy?

What does your job involve?

Where do you live?

Just search for jobs that say conversation school in the description on any site that lists jobs in Japan.

It's a fun job, but the burn out rate is high. Working in Japan is very stressful, and most of the stress comes from the forced competition. You are rated against other instructors so sometimes the work environment can be annoying to.
Everyone is rated for everything. It's like a Japanese RPG working here I'm not joking.

It's not really a career job. And most of these places your not actually full time, they pay you 70% of what they should and you make the rest up in bonuses. The hours are also fucked because most people want to come on weekends and after work you work 5-9 and all day on weekends usually. With two days of whenever.
The Chinese schools on the other hand you have normal regular hours and benifit etc.

Hickory, NC. Nice little city, decent hipster scene so decent culture for beer/music/local stuff. I sell freight lanes to various customers (lots of produce) using software that shows me where trucks are going when with how much freight. I basically connect all the dots, if that makes sense. I work on low base salary but with commission make a pretty penny, and the office legit seems like a trading floor for most of the day with people running around like crazy talking on phone checking tickers and what not.

Anyway, check out DOGBOYS. www.vernandsisters.com/dogboys

Yup

First book is on Amazon and doing well despite lack of exposure. I'm about to drop a few bones on marketing. The people who read it tend to like it but getting the word out is the hardest part I think

Post the link please?

Also what's the "Lift" reference?

Do you work in an elevator now?

Yeah I work in elevators now. Better pay, worse boss.

Post a temp email and I'll shoot you a link

How does one "work" in an elevator?

Mounting cables and brackets within the shaft, then attaching and wiring the car itself

Make people laugh and drink
Wrote a book check it out faggots

I'm 19 years old.

I am handsome, smart, athletic and virile.

I have a novel that is in it's final editing stage, and a creative writing professor at my college has read the first draft and thinks it's saleable.

I have a girlfriend who is confident, articulate, playful and spontaneous.

I have a small group of interesting friends from different social and academic backgrounds, and I also have many other acquaintances who see me as a reliable source of humour and good company.

Both my parents are alive and in good health.

I have no regrets.

I have already experienced three existential crises, the latter of which was described as having the depth and profundity of a man twice my age.

I am a passionate lover, a sharp thinker, and a trader of witty repartee.

I am not self-pitying, meek or needlessly humble.

I will live a good life at your expense.

nice seeing you again! I saved this pic from you, here, take it back.

do you know what niche means in french?

What is that?

Age- 24
Job- Office Admin
/lit ambitions- Publication enough to complement my current income, and someday enough to write full time.

No, but going off of the definition on dictionary.com it seems appropriate here.

>a place or position suitable or appropriate for a person or thing

(alledgeldy) gas kun's manuscript

I'm not criticizing your use of the word, but remember in common french it means doghouse.

>26
>test grader, proofreader, now also online TA
>have a full-room library, translate some books I like, finish grad school

Sorry Gaskun, you're over the hill.

You're a loser, but having been published, you're still a hell lot better than the pseuds here.

You got trolled you dumb fuck.

Which book desu?

wait, did he get published or did he self publish?

Fuck it, Link to book
amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01G0TOU14?vs=1

Buy a copy. Has 1st chapter of book 2 at the end plus links for updates. Book 2 out late August, then 3-11 every 3 months or so for the next three years. I hope you'll join me on an adventure.

P.s. There's jetpacks

Oh yeah. I started writing it after my neice was born in 2003. I finished it in just enough time for her to be the approx age I created the character based on her to be present.

Be a friend... If you read the book and like it, I could use positive reviews.

>If you read the book and like it, I could use positive reviews.
The most negative review isn't wrong, though. It really is young, young adult tier fiction.

What does being an office admin entail?

Basic shipping & receiving, invoices, making spreadsheets, ordering supplies, calling people... It's the most dull job I've ever had but it pays well enough. Oh and trying to keep the other office underlings from wasting office supplies.

What the flying fuck? People do this?

You don't? Sometimes I skip while chapters as long as I don't lose track of the general plot.
