@noyoushutthefuckupdad @sun i never tried to make writing a career. i wrote a novel once for nanowrimo. trying to get it sold informed me this is an industry that doesn't want workers.

i haven't wrote a book since because nobody would even read it for free.

so much of the market isn't even about if you're a good writer (people would tell me they enjoyed an exerpt, but then they wouldn't read the rest...), streamer, or whatever, but the sheer prostitution aspect of being able to forcibly claim attention to even be evaluated in the first place.
