Hopefully I'll never have to adapt to some morning to evening work schedule. I'd love to work at home when my most creative hours are. I really can't be creative in the morning.

Tachigami 09-08-2013 07:58 PM

Ugh.... I had to handle twelve-hour factory hours for a little over two years after leaving home and before managing to kick off from where I was. It usually swapped from midnight to noon or noon to midnight, or six in the morning to six in the evening. You definitely won't have to deal with those hours I know, but still, working from home specifically would be simpler than that. If you can get over the inevitable procrastination desires...

Kat Dakuu 09-08-2013 08:02 PM

ewww...I can't even stay on focus for a four hour studio class. I could never work for 12 hours. I'd like...wander away or start staring at an interesting wall. I know it's a difficult dream to want to support myself from home, but it certainly would be nice. Speaking of procrastinating, I should not procrastinate and try to find myself a job so I have something to do before I graduate.

Tachigami 09-08-2013 08:07 PM

Well I definitely couldn't afford to wander off from the belt. Especially since a bastard down the line wouldn't do his damn job and put the tools together the way they were supposed to be... I'd managed to put together my own little business for landscaping and really did well... After a while. But true, maybe that'd be a good idea. If you'd want to give a chance to some online columnist thing, it seems they're always looking for someone somewhere.

Kat Dakuu 09-08-2013 08:14 PM

sounds like an awful job to me. Landscaping, eh? That sounds interesting. I know part of my plan is to get a short story professionally published before I'm out of school. That shouldn't be that hard since I've already had something published in an amateur online webzine (though it didn't pay). Then I intend to work simple jobs like retails and whatever while I work on writing and publishing. Hm, I would also like to get into editing, but the whole way of how to get into that is so vague.

Tachigami 09-08-2013 08:20 PM

It was dreadful, but thankfully didn't last long. I love to work outside, so landscaping was perfect, especially since I usually did it my own way, but got things done fast.
Heh, if only I could focus enough to write stories on my own... Procrastination problem there, for me. Still, even if something doesn't pay initially, that publication gave you something of a name.
Editing/....? You could always Google the ways I tihnk. Lots of ways.

Kat Dakuu 09-08-2013 08:40 PM

working outside is nice. It's good you were able to do something that suited you.
I do most of my finished work for class or nanowrimo. I need the deadlines to do any work. I have a hard time doing anything of my own power. But yeah, even if the story is just in a webzine that I doubt anyone reads, I can say I published a story.
I've googled it before and everything I read says that you basically just call yourself an editior and magically find your way into the business. There isn't really some sort of strict path to follow in order to get into it. Really the only thing I can tell is you have to know people.

hi

Kat Dakuu 09-08-2013 09:16 PM

omg, what? Your username changed!

Tachigami 09-08-2013 10:17 PM

Oh my God my Internet cut out! *mutters darkly* Probably going to make a habit of doing it for a while, too...

Kat Dakuu 09-08-2013 10:26 PM

oh no! That evil internet!! I was having issues with mine earlier too. So uncool. Internet should be so much nicer to the people that love it.

Tachigami 09-08-2013 10:28 PM

I know, right? It's like an abusive relationship! *cries* And we just keep coming back...

Kat Dakuu 09-08-2013 10:29 PM

Internet is too wonderful to stay away from! lol. Abusive relationship? >.< Sure, whatever you say.

Tachigami 09-08-2013 10:32 PM

It really is.
And yes! It hurts us because it can be emotionally hurtful by keeping us away, or tries to confuse us...

PapillonCameo 09-08-2013 10:33 PM

Hi guys, how's it going?

Kat Dakuu 09-08-2013 10:35 PM

heh. It is very hurtful indeed to be away from the internet. Although I'm more productive without it.. Usually.

Hey papi. It's going alright. I'm just doing homework. How are you?

Tachigami 09-08-2013 10:38 PM

I find myself less productive... Because I find myself much more able to write with a keyboard since it's more composed...

Paaaaap~!

PapillonCameo 09-08-2013 10:45 PM

I'm doing good, getting ready to go to school tomorrow.

Yes, Tachi?

Kat Dakuu 09-08-2013 10:50 PM

do you need the internet to use the keyboard?

Do you have good classes to take, Papi?

sailor star rainbow 09-08-2013 11:27 PM

Hi Everyone I was out for a few hours. but I will never ever walk in to a freds store near my sisters house ever again. for a good reason but now I need heat up some dinner.

PapillonCameo 09-08-2013 11:37 PM

Hi Star, how's it going?

sailor star rainbow 09-08-2013 11:39 PM

Pretty good I got some doggy steps for my little mix breed. but so far she needs to get use to them.

PapillonCameo 09-08-2013 11:41 PM

What breeds?

Kat Dakuu 09-08-2013 11:54 PM

Eh you don't know your classes even though you're about to start?
