SO WRITER IS A HOBBY! Cool

I might make a site to publish my books, some samples and then BAM "Pay by Paypal" "Get this book" :O

Anyways, I don't know what my real job will be yet...


That idea is absolutely NEVER EVER going to make you ANY notable amount of money.

all those jobs requirre you to do minimal work, so theres no way your going to get enough money to even sustain yourself unless your really good at it. and your not.

Trying to put me down and trying me think that I can't write good stories, well then **** you because I believe I can and I will learn how to do it. There's no point sticking around and doing nothing.

Bring the riots.

Also, because you are picking a career off the amount of money you earn, you will fail for the following reasons.
1. You probably wont enjoy it, and hence wont put in the effort required.
2. Since your not into it, you probably aren't very good.
3. You are competing in a very specific area, where they are people who actually do this for a hobby, and then end up being millionaires.
4. As it isn't a hobby that you are good at you will get bored, and be bombarded by "Writers block" or the art equivalent.

As for the site to sell stuff, you would need to hit a massive number of people actually buying stuff to even sustain the site itself let alone you.

tl;dr. Pick something that you are legitimately good at and really love.

What I'm trying to get in to your little stupid heads is that I won't be put down by your little talk, I know it's half true but if I think positively and believe in myself then I will succeed, it's easy as that. You're all just sitting here probably doing nothing and got no proper job, well I will have and now I have small job for now which is "newspapers(giving out newspapers to local homes)

A writer has good ideas and imagination. I know where to start, a plot, a genre(horror, action, comedy, sci-fi, mystery)

Then a few character sketches and personalities applied to them. A few catchy phrases or favorite phrases that they will use commonly. Thought it all comes down to the level of English I got and I'm predicted to get C-B Grade. It also must have a common narrative structure as well. Then it comes down where it is set and what type of people live in that place, a story also must have some kind of conflict between characters or an obstacle that they need to overcome. That's pretty much it for creating a "basic" story line.

One more note: A story must start dramatically, maybe a problem or a conflict as I mentioned before to make the book interesting to read, to amaze the reader.

Is a C-B grade supposed to be good?

Seriously, that's like 60%-70% in Canada. Which is shit.

You're just not right. Do I look like I live in Canada? No, so do you really think the grade percentage here in England is the same? No.

You also just ignored like most of my post. I suggest you read it throughly.

Again it's though not "thought".

You're a paper boy, it's not a real job. Also it is not "and got no proper job" it should be and do not have a proper job.

Yeah a B is kinda a shit grade for someone aspiring to be a writer. When I write I've been mistaken for an actual writer by an actual teacher and all my state test for writing has been higher than the commended score and thats without trying very hard. But I still know I'm not good enough to make it as a writer, know your limits man and your can-do attitude doesn't always work, remember that.

That being said, unless you love to write, and I mean ****ing love, you're not going anywhere in the writing business. But if you do, good luck man.

Who gets bullied? HAHAH BULLSHIT. I'm not even crying, being sad or angry so your statement is false.

I know the real world is harsh that's why weakling like you do not survive for very long. I bet you don't even try hard at lessons, I do.
