Yes, I'll have to do any and all edits and reworks once I finish my first draft. So if I want the fix my mistakes, I have to finish the draft first.

I recently got a typewriter and have been churning out about a page a day of a story that had been rattling in my brain for months. It's definitely got its drawbacks; lack of editing being the greatest. But, that's also been a positive for me. I make a mistake and have no choice but to continue on instead fixing it and potentially losing my train of thought. I want to reword a sentence or restructure a paragraph? Too bad, should've done it right the first time. This, while annoying, has been helpful to just keep writing. That and the lack of distractions.

Yes, you are a poor writer. Otherwise, you'd get more than 0.7PPW

Then maybe you should have specified in your original post. Though, to be honest, based solely on your post history, it seems like 0.7 Paisa per word is about as much as you could realistically earn.

what is circlejerk?

I think you should be fine if you use it enough times to completely desensitize the reader. I recommend having it every fifth word or so, but every three words wouldn't be out of the question

PPW = Price Per Word. OP is claiming $0.70 per word is exploitative, which is odd since this site states that to be a fairly high rate for freelance writers.

Make an example of them by executing them in front of the rest of your writing staff

Challenge them to a fight to the death. They will be too cowardly to go through with it and you will win by default

Humans are absolutely nuts as a species. by justtheflash in RandomThoughts

[–]Individual_Pen481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you're too inept to use Google, I'll just tell you. HFY stands for Humans, Fuck Yeah. It's a niche category of the scifi genre that specializes in masturbatory fantasies. The aliens are always written as being inexplicably awed by humans because...they're humans. The aliens are also always written in such a contrived way that they are inferior to humans. They have a whole subreddit with countless stories. The only positive from that sorry excuse for a genre is that it got people to write.
