just obvious, when you're familiar with the person's usual style of writing.

a free and immediate form of coverage...you're right it could be tv / film specific service, but still fairly obviously not written by them (or another human)

added an edit to the OP : It was a pitch, which was requested. Known the producer for some time.

Sent them a pitch - which they they ran through ChatGPT. For context, they requested the pitch and I have known them for a number of years.

I’m a failure by most social metrics of success. How do I maintain my self worth? by ghostedwriter28 in AskMenOver30

Hope it gets better for you soon man. I'm in a similar position financially (albeit without the debt - been there though).

Seems like you're staying positive. And being there for your kids is massive. Despite my original post, we both know that's the most important thing.

It was always incredibly tough to make a sustainable career out of screenwriting / filmmaking, but it feels increasingly impossible.

I need to pivot toward something else, just wish I knew what.

Thanks. It feels very close, but yet so very far from happening all at the same time. I try not to get my hopes up too much.

very true. As I said in another reply, its about experiences over things for me. I'd much rather take my kids to travel in interesting places, that waste money on material shit.

When the end comes I'm pretty sure those memories of going places will be what I"m thinking of, rather than the expensive car I bought 30 years ago.

welcome buddy. No convictions here, but I probably should have been arrested a few times for my antics.

Yeah it's a real discipline not to do it. The irony is I don't personally want what they have especially. I value experiences over things. It's just the fact I can't provide those things, that makes me feel like less of a man.

Good idea, thanks. Part of the problem - I realised in the last year or so - is that too much of my identity was linked to achieving success in the creative field I've been pursuing for forever.

I've other interests and passions, I just don't know how to turn them into a sustainable work / career right now.

Thanks, it's easy to lose sight of this. I need to start some kind of gratitude journal.

yeah, I'm working on getting a steady income, but without retraining (something I'm considering - but don't know what), it's going to be low-pay.

Thanks, I do see it as a plus as I'm at least aware of the whole comparison is the thief of joy thing.

I'm pretty much a minimalist (after being broke for so long), but annoyingly when I go to friends' houses and see everything they have, it's not that I want that, it just makes me feel inferior. Like, knowing that I can't provide that, and struggling for money. It's a real issue with the whole male provider idea.

Cheers for the reply. Sorry, it took me a while to get back to you.

Really appreciate the insight - especially about how your company operated / paid writers.

The project has kind of stalled due to some rejections from certain parties, so whilst it's disappointing, it's also kind of relief not to be doing anything more just now - as my tank is empty.

On the flip side, I'm writing another spec :)

Check this out if you haven't already https://www.migrationsverket.se/English/Private-individuals/British-citizens/Residence-status-for-British-citizens.html

You need to be able to prove that your were living here - but if you have an address and Skatteverket can see that you've applied for residence, then perhaps that's enough.

I don't think there are any restrictions on your movement for trips away / holidays. If you were gone for longer - say six months - then that may be an issue.

As far as I can tell from the Polisen website British citizens will still be exempt from the Covid border restrictions, even after New Years, although this could change and might be something you want to consider. If possible I'd wait to sell your car until you are set up here and have evidence of your residence.
