But some of my writing is actually quite decent.

And all the while, I've been working these shitty menial jobs that don't really pay shit. Barback, bartender, server, moving man. I continue to work these jobs that break my back, and occasionally crush my soul.

And I don't want to get rich off of writing. That is clearly not an option.

But I would like to do better than paycheck to paycheck. And I would like to fund other projects down the line.

And I think I can be a good enough writer to do it.

My question to you, is this: How do I monetize my writing without being a begging little faggot?

I was thinking about starting a blog with a crypto donation option, or going through patreon, but all options sound gay at this point.

Money, and the want of it, is inherently distasteful. And I hate the fact that I need it. Asking for it makes me feel like the most shameless Jew.

So my question is, is there any way to do it tastefully?

Thanks, and Regards,

Web seriel? Give away a couple chapters a week. Get exposure. Money will follow

So I suppose my greatest desire is simply to run parallel writing campaigns.

All of my writing should always be be free, because I think all written word must be free.

So I'll just post it all here, for all to read.

Then I start a blog, where I post all the same shit, and just ask for tips, like the bartender I am.

Thanks. That sounds like the perfect solution.

You're right, the concept of copyright was invented by the Jew. Aside from tips, the legitimate way to monetize a creative work is to get paid for doing the work, not for the product of it. Maybe you could find an already existing publication that pays regular contributors for poetry/stories. Or you could publish yourself by making a blog with some ad space for revenue and use your writing to get views. Just don't make the ads too intrusive.

I feel you bro. I hate applying for jobs.
