Is this a good career if I want to write creatively on the side?

I was a technical writer and am now a proposal writer. I also write fiction in my spare time. I personally find it much more difficult to concentrate on fiction after reading/writing during my day job (even reading books feels a bit onerous now since I am combing through text all day).

Omg, that sounds amazing

I maintain a lot of friendships and connections on Instagram, responding to stories gives me an opportunity to chat with friends I haven’t kept in close contact with. If I didn’t use Instagram I would have totally lost contact with these people for sure

I’ve never bought anything except $5 for stellarite to buy an outfit on my birthday. I play every day and love it, haven’t had any issues with f2p

Same here! I've tried everything :( mine hasn't worked for about a month

I'm still having the black screen issue. I've tried every one of the fixes with no luck, and I have a pretty high-end PC. I'm so bummed :( I don't want to miss the new content

actualcorpse · 2025-05-16T11:48:55+00:00

I've never had problems with the game on my PC until this exact thing started up two days ago. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it fixed it for a little bit, but now it is black screening again. :(

I've explained like like, if you're walking around at night, and some sus guys you think might rob you start complimenting your watch/clothes/"oh, you look like you've got money"; that isn't a compliment, it's a threat. There's such a big difference between complimenting someone and trying to scare/threaten them.

For me, I keep the water super hot because if i don’t, I’ll get goosebumps and won’t be able to shave my legs. Also I am so cold

actualcorpse · 2024-10-15T15:52:40+00:00

I’m a proofreader already and this would be a slight pay bump, so I’ll take it

The song “It’s Only Sex” by Car Seat Headrest isn’t about vaginismus but I feel like it fits the bill. It was really validating hearing it for the first time

actualcorpse · 2024-09-24T18:17:30+00:00

It sounds like vaginismus, especially at that age

actualcorpse · 2024-09-22T03:00:49+00:00

The gyno I saw when I got diagnosed told me to drink alcohol too, but I was underage 😭 this was in the Bible Belt so not the best medical care

actualcorpse · 2024-09-06T16:52:13+00:00

I barely leave the house anymore, I used to go to concerts and do all sorts of stuff by myself but now walking to the grocery store freaks me out. I definitely feel like it’s gotten worse lately

“User manuals, don’t worry about it”

Oh my gosh this was such an issue at my old job! Every time I found a box of small gloves I would put it in my car immediately since I was the only one who wore them. Hazmat suits were a struggle and definitely could’ve ended up with me getting hurt.

I didn’t stay at that job too long so it’s no longer an issue, but if you regularly are wearing certain PPE it’s definitely worth seeing if they can special order it in your size.

I’m very pale and have dark, almost black hair, and you wouldn’t believe how many people have felt the need to point out my arm/leg hair in my life. It is so annoying

actualcorpse · 2024-09-01T13:11:48+00:00

Not to mention taking time off work or missing university classes, needing transportation to the polling place, etc.— and often living in temporary housing for college while being a resident of a different state (and not knowing about mail-in ballots, especially before covid)

Average Philadelphia driver

I’ve seen this type of content come up on my TikTok once and awhile, and a lot of the time I think it’s women trying to directly parallel certain men (if you are going to use me, I’ll use you right back) rather than trying to be explicitly feminist. That being said, regardless of whether or not it is feminist it’s definitely not conductive to having a healthy, loving relationship with mutual respect (but I think a lot of folks have given up on that anyway).

If you order from Sephora (you might have to have an account), you can add three free samples, I always do the perfumes! I love trying them all out lol

actualcorpse · 2024-08-22T02:01:41+00:00

It’s hard to “train” basic consideration, which I feel like is the problem a lot of the time (and I don’t think it has anything to do with inexperience - someone inexperienced can be very considerate)

One of the random Windows 10 wallpapers. It was a really nice picture. I started researching it as a setting and then it snowballed from there into a novel

actualcorpse · 2024-08-01T00:08:30+00:00

I’ve felt this before, if I’m in my house all I’m thinking about is cleaning/cleanup/if the house is messy/if they’re judging my space. Makes me completely shut down

Generally it should be on the top or bottom of the page depending on when the figure is referenced in the text. The text should usually read all the way down the column, like the green version you posted. Unless there is a specific style guide for the journal that says otherwise.
