Just submitted some short fiction to the New Yorker. Looking

I wish I felt confident enough in my writing to submit to the New Yorker.

>Confident
Hardly.

I'm 25 and I have $2,300 and some camera gear to my name. In the three years since I graduated college I have accomplished exactly nothing. I have created a few photos, three of which were shown in a gallery but didn't sell, I have written two half screenplays and now this piece of short fiction and I made one short film that I never submitted anywhere.

Currently I'm making my living by reselling 90s acid house records that someone was throwing away at a flea market.

Thats more than most people will do in their lifetime, you're on the right track. Expect to fail and half ass things for a while, its the path everyone takes unless you're a savant.

That's literally the coolest thing I've ever heard.

Thanks. I still feel not great about it but I'm also scared that if I console myself with stories of how great writer's were in a similar position to me that I'll become complacent.

What kind of a living can you make doing this?

Hey man good luck to you.

Also, did you know William Gibson earned a living doing a similar thing to you (reselling shit from flea markets)?
