>9-5 job
>8 hours
>16 other hours in the day

>>9200533
Get good. I also have a full time job and I have no trouble.

>>9200533

1. Live minimal and budget tightly.
2. Get part time job where you work 3 days a week max from now on.
3. ???
4. Profit!

>>9200726
Don't do this. This will wear you out and you won't want to do anything.

>>9200756

He will feel worn out no matter what he chooses if he's aiming for work and writing at the same time.

This is the best play. Ideally two days a week of work if he can budget it and the other five days a week pursuing your literary ends. If that wears you out then get rekt.

>>9200564
You forgot commuting

>>9200768
Which kind of job allows you to work only two days a week, friend?

Faggots.

I at least manage to read on the metro, but that simply won't do.

>>9200726
This only sounds like a good idea if you want to eventually earn a living off of your art. We live in a generation where we won't get to retire on government money. We will have to support ourselves until we die. If you do this you will never save any money and if you aren't planning on earning a living through your art will keep you stuck in your job until you die.

>still have time to create pragmatism, review literature, correspond with Darwin, teach psychology

You either got to git gud, find a lower paying job, or face reality.

>>9200533
How much do you get paid?
Do you really need all of that money?
Just work part time or something and, depending on country, hop on bennies.

Factory shit.

>>9200801

Don't soapbox at me, kid. Anon wanted a fix for the interim to have more time to read and write. This is an option that would allow for that. What anon is trying to do personally achieve apart from that is incidental to me.

>Don't soapbox at me, kid.
Thank you for being a huge cunt for no reason other than someone wanted to have a civil conversation with you.

Sounds like every Starbucks employee. I feel like the modern capitalist society isn't compatible with talented writers.

>I don't like grammar
Being upset over perceived use of bad grammar that is based on nothing but dislike of sounds is an autistic behavior.

>>9200834

Don't give me that passive aggressive estrogen shit. Anon asked one question, I suggested a temporary fix for it. Now I'm a cunt for not preemptively assuming and addressing every other fear you have about your future. Right.

>We live in a generation where -
Fuck off.

>>9200877
You said something, I only wanted to add a word of caution to your suggestion. You could have responded civilly as to why you disagree, or why you believe my concern was ill-founded, but no.
There was nothing condescending or insulting about what I said, and what I said was engaging with the conversation as it had progressed so far.

But this might all be my fault. Forgive me for taking you for someone that actually wanted to engage in a conversation rather than shitposting.

How in the love of fucking God did you ever manage to land such an awesome job? the night part especially sounds like a dream.

>>9200957
Not sure. I only have a high school diploma and no experience in the tech field. I told the guy who interviewed me that I use Gentoo and he was really impressed.

>>9200533
I work 12's bruh, and I still get some good writing done. I just brainstorm in my free time and note what I can when I can. If I can do it, you can definitely do it. Commuting damned.

There was literally a thread about this issue this morning.
