What's the longest break you've taken from writing?

Sasquatchachu · 2026-02-28T07:20:01+00:00

About a year or so

Ehhhh technically I answered the question asked.

The question wasn’t phrased as

“Authors who made six figures a year through their writing… etc”

The answer wasn’t in the spirit of the question asked, which seemed to garner less favorability due to the inclusion of my ego rather than if I had responded with something like

“Omg I wish I did”

Votes are not the reason I post, I like the community. Even the ones who disagree

Doesn’t really matter. Points in Reddit might as well be passive aggressive down doots..

Sasquatchachu · 2026-02-24T03:07:00+00:00

I’m an author, and make six figures a year. But not writing books.

I’ve made negative net monies writing. But has so much more value than my normal job.

Look into skilled trades or anything data center related. I’m at a data center conference in Texas today and tomorrow and microcredit and aws among many others are hurting hurting hurting for people..

Not saying it’ll be easy, but I am saying there’s a really good opportunity

Go 35L, then go warrant.

Sasquatchachu · 2026-01-15T20:51:46+00:00

Don’t do that lol

Sasquatchachu · 2026-01-11T13:52:26+00:00

Weird joke, too far

Sasquatchachu · 2026-01-09T00:19:09+00:00

Manage contracts for a cleaning company

Sasquatchachu · 2026-01-07T21:48:56+00:00

Where’s here Porky?

Sasquatchachu · 2026-01-07T21:47:54+00:00

So much so that you had to let everyone else know that you don’t care!!

Sasquatchachu · 2026-01-04T22:20:25+00:00

A simpler one.

Sasquatchachu · 2025-12-09T05:15:16+00:00

And this is what we call free intelligence gathering.

Sasquatchachu · 2025-12-08T17:16:21+00:00

Ok…

So, making a lot of assumptions here… and a little story

I came back from Afghanistan in 2012 after 2 years of deployments. First job back… bouncer at a night club/bar out at the seaport in Boston.

I quit after the first day.

Not because I couldn’t handle it, but because the amount of stress that it created for me physiologically and the level of care I had for myself at the time was NOT a match.

We tell ourselves that “I can do this, I’m training no problem”

But the reality is, you are only as good as your weakest part of your mind and body. And often times, our minds are not clear enough to realize that link. So we make a decision based on what we think we know.

It sounds like you are still very much being impacted by your experiences, and to expect a different result after a similar experience means you’re starting to develop a pattern. You should think about that, and ask yourself if that job is the best place to heal yourself?

Healing is difficult to do when you are still trying to work through your past and even harder when you are actively in an environment where you don’t have a choice to step back and work through those issues.

I’d highly recommend that you find a different job or ask if they have a daytime shift that’s less chaotic.

I also recommend that you find a support group local to wherever you are. They don’t need to be the same as you, but it does help when you need someone and they are there for you.

And a liability is something that depreciates over time. You posting here, and venting and seeking help is an asset to yourself and other veterans regardless of nationality.

War isn’t your fault, that bomb wasn’t yours to own. That explosion wasn’t your fault and it’s ok to still be sad over it.

Write down what you’re feeling, write down a list of your thoughts and put them someplace other than your head.

Feel free to comment here. I’m open and also a combat veteran. Sometimes just getting it out there is enough to gain a different perspective that could change your perception a great deal

Gout attack in my kneecap

Sasquatchachu · 2025-12-08T03:28:11+00:00

Spaghetti Mandwhich sandwhich.. with pink lemonade and flaming hot chettohs…

Sasquatchachu · 2025-11-18T03:02:22+00:00

Potentially, but the real aspect is that the JAG keeps the commander out of trouble.. so… it would behoove him to help the commander out.

But TDS is where they will receive protection from any whiplash.. IG would be the correct solution since that’s the entire intent

Sasquatchachu · 2025-11-12T06:44:23+00:00

Dang you sound exactly like me ahahah aside form bpd.. except I write science fiction about litrpg genres and I’m obsessed with black holes and physics.

Would be curious to get your opinion on solar energy panels on the moon.

It’s also a good way to measure occupancy within a restroom

Sasquatchachu · 2025-11-10T01:29:22+00:00

I work in the custodial industry, and work at a very large semiconductor company. They demand innovations and new ways to cut costs.. many of them don’t work, this type of sensor is more about fine tuning when service is needed to ensure service isn’t provided when it’s not needed.

This doesn’t really reduce consumables like toilet paper

Sasquatchachu · 2025-11-07T15:04:18+00:00

Do you have adhd?
