I work part-time. I was a NEET but it was honestly more of a hassle dealing with the job centre than just getting a part-time job with short hours that pays me over double what i was getting on bennies.

Still leaves me with a lot of time to read and write.

Where in England.

How long do you plan on working this way?

Do you live with your parents?

>>7117893
Meh

I think most people here are unemployed or work minimum wage. I can't really adjust my lifestyle at all. Can't for the life of me find a new job amd my current job is shit, pays me fuck all and makes me think about painting my ceiling with my brains

>Meh

Well I work at a security company.
It installs security and monitoring systems and is a contractor of security guards for buisnesses.
My job involves sending vehicles to check alarms when the sysem is triggered b one of the detectors at a buisness we are responsible for.
Im sure something liek this exists where you live if you live in the city.
I dont know if it will be as leisurely though.

But why do you hate your mother? Are you not ashamed to have her toil for you and waste her life away cause her son WONT take care of himself?

Get stuffed, newfag. Your world should change fluidly around you as you write. I've repeatedly written 500 page books in six month increments while working a full time job and putting myself through college.
Stop whining and write. I once asked Neil gaiman what I could do to get noticed by agents and publishers. He replied: "create a body of work that can't be ignored"
All the shitty apartments, goodwill clothes and glasses of red wine at 2 in the morning won't create that work for you. Stop romanticising the process and write something. Stop trying to impress people and write. I never told people what I did with my spare time but when I show the work their fucking eyes get big and say holy shit. Stop trying to needlessly suffer for your art. The only thing that should suffer is the time you spend trying to impress people in conversation BECAUSE YOURE ALWAYS WRITING!

My family is Polish. We have none of this "grow up and get out of the house" thinking. I've offered to get a job, and she prefers that I live at home and read; she doesn't want me to move out.

Silly Americans.
