I've gone back to uni doing a Bachelor of Science and for one of my electives I took Contemporary Literature which included some analysis, and some short fiction writing, just for a bit of fun. Got a High Distinction. My intent is to be a geologist, but maybe some scribbles on the side.

Mostly older women on business trips --however I occasionally do local women. I enjoy it. My rates are moderate, since I don't really need the money, which significantly helps me. Most of the women that I have met hitherto have been cordial; nevertheless, there is always that one awkward woman that was really reluctant to hire me, but still did it, and just ruined the mood.

I want to start writing, but I know I need to read a lot more before I do. I've won poetry and short story competitions, and I've even submitted some schlocky fantasy romance to a publisher who specializes in that sort of thing, but I want to hone my abilities until I'm at the stage where I can write the book I want to write.

More of a /tv/ thing, but I want to write a film. Part of me wants to write a film adaptation of Blood Meridian despite it being completely unnecessary.

The problem I have is that I have lots of idea for great openings, great scenes and great endings but no idea how to connect them together. If my name was David Lynch I could get away with it, but nobody but an established author could get away with the kinds of things I want to write.

Well, escorting itself is not illegal; think of it like this: you are essentially paying someone to hangout with you (sex is just a result of you being paid to hangout with your client). If they paid me specifically for sex, i.e. it being explicit that this what they are paying me for, then it would be considered prostitution which is illegal. I've never been nervous about being "busted" or anything; it is relatively safe, as long as you don't do anything dumb.

I'm not at liberty to bring these things up, only said what I said because it's 4chan. Give it about two months and depending on how things play out with current proceedings Karl O'Callaghan in W.A. should give a declaration on what's going on. It's not necessarily meth-amphetamines that are being smuggled in.

Not everyone is a model. You can be average and still be successful; however, since -- I am going off what you said -- you not "that attractive" you better have a fucking brilliant personality and basically make your clients absolutely enjoy your company. Since you are a little awkward, you better put on a facade at first. I was a initially slightly awkward, so my first client every: i basically google conversation topics. I never used them, because they just talked about work (easy to be inquisitive about that stuff) and just asked me about school and what I am studying. I noticed a change in my personality from this. I was actually introduced by a friend (lucky for me). I guess you could look up escort services. Be willing to travel, though.

Yeah fair point. From what I can tell from people who've read the book, the hardest part about it are the obnoxious footnotes, but it's not like I'm gonna buy the book. It's 1100 pages and I'd prefer to be able to read faster before I rack up 20 dollars in library fees.

Same with the above. I tried reading it in like October, and I understood it. It's just that it took me 10 minutes to read and understand the first page.

Family, people you know. The first eight years of my life were spent in Alaska.
It's expected of me to do it, family friends would look down if I didn't, etc.
It's terrible and dangerous.

Go down to a harbor/bar dress similar to everyone else, have a commercial fishing license, talk/ask around.

Feels so good to know I'm not alone. How do you deal with it? How do you deal with your friends finding you a little odd and maybe out-of-place? How do you deal with the thought that without a diploma on the subject you probably won't make any contribution to the field or make good use of all the effort you are putting into these unrelated readings? Or even that you are wasting your time and not becoming good neither at your major nor your hobby?

I'm lonely but that's probably my fault for not looking hard enough for more friends with similar interests. I can measure my improvement both on my major and my comprehension of what I've read in a fairly straightforward way so I can always attempt to pinpoint what's wrong if I'm having trouble with something. I realize I'm no genius so I'm realistic about what I can achieve, and I do it for myself so there's no real outside pressure.

About to start on a dual MSc in Computer Science and Engineering and Math as well as a distance BSc in Mathematics and Economics from LSE. Hopefully will have 3 degrees by the time I am 24

Learn Statistical Analysis and Logic to a satisfactory degree, then start increasing the percentage of first-source scientific papers in my reading.

Also want to learn 5-8 languages, already know 3 and started on 2.

Recent graduate, currently not employed. Not long-term NEET though. Going to look for short-term employment once I get back from summer travels. Then going into to get my English teaching credential for High School.

I have a few ideas centered around an exploration of physical pain (chronic rather than violent) and more generally, a genealogy of the body. Have this sort of grand vision for a multivolume work on representations of the body in art, presentations of the body to others in day-to-day, conceptions of one's own body, relationships with pain, pleasure, etc. . Looking at Ancient mesoamerican sculptures in comparison to Hellenistic scupltures made me think about how we represent our bodies and what that could mean more widely. Then of course there is also the socratic body/life as illness, cartesian biological machine, Nietzschean refutation of dualism. If anyone knows of any studies along these lines please do tell (particularly about pain, either as a chronic ailment or as a self-inflicted spiritual practice).

Personal experiences that I think are important and worth sharing and philosophical observations I'd like to write about in narrative form (something like Dostoyevsky or Camus).

If people read your books, you won't be any happier than now.

>If people read your books, you won't be any happier than now.

To expand on this point: Don't make your happiness dependent on outside factors; when people base their happiness on those factors, only bad things happen.

Men often base their happiness on acquiring a "gf", and when they failed, /r9k/ was born. A harrowing tale: only when you don't need the gf, the gf will come to you.

STEM master race. I know my /lit/ ambition is rather impossible to achieve so i just write stories on the internet and sometimes on 4chan.

I am depressed because a lot of things that happen in my life (Conscription is the worst period of my life.) and realizing that my life is going to have the same kind of events that will keep happening to me.

I have like 7 story ideas in my head that have at least a beginning (set-up), middle (change) and ending (resolution) but they are all about different things though. But i think most if not all wont be published anyway.

You are your own enemy. You have to defeat yourself or you will lose every day.
>I have like 7 story ideas in my head
That's more than most of /lit/ have.

>But i think most if not all wont be published anyway.
>Ambition
In a way you remember me of myself from three years ago. That's why I keep answering but the next paragraphs will be mostly about myself. I was stuck in a rut somehow and was searching for external validation. That's really the thing why I started writing. It was some fanfiction-tier writing in a forum full of circlejerks. I wanted to be part of that. I admit that, shamefully.
Now, everything and nothing has changed and I feel... different. There is a lot of work to do, but there is a path (or more than one) which is worth to be taken.
Writing a diary has helped me to develop a different point of view. Indipendence makes me feel good. For me that's having my own room, car and job and not answering the phone. Turning off TV helped a lot, checking 4chan only once a day, too. And Zarathustra showed me that there is more than one point of view. I'm eager to learn more.

I really just write online for fun. It is fun to worldbuild and create characters, putting them in words not so. Most of the story ideas are depressing or at least bittersweet while the ones I write online (often on a whim) pokes fun at people i am writing for.

I am okay with not being an author since i am good at being a STEMfag, still I am reading works from Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, diving into TVtropes and getting ready for university.
