Bro... I disagree respectfully.

I get ruthlessly made fun of for printing my own books and having a ridiculous idea that I can somehow sustain myself while being independent. Yet, somehow, I persist.

The reason?

I always have to adapt.

Every single day is a new challenge. My car is running rich, my minivan blew the head gasket, my blade needs to be sharpened. The company I have done freelance work for has gone tits up, only to re-appear later working again but the money they owe me for writing has mysteriously changed. I cannot use my charm and personality to sell books, only online, and who I am translates poorly in a digital medium.

If you battle for things, repetition fades away. But battle for the right things, anon, and you will always feel fulfilled.

Oh man I love what you wrote up until this:
>This quietens the harrowing (find a better word than harrowing) moans and eases open the door to slee
I'm filtered, this goes beyond what I can imagine, I imagine in such simple terms it is hard for me to dig up more complex words.
>The stroking of the dog's fur allows him to ignore the outside world and drift off
Thanks... going to add your words to my next revision. Would really appreciate more feedback if you have the time. I can send you a single chapter of any part of the book if you want to see a slice of the story once it really gets going?

Thanks!!!

Been a good life, not without challenges, those are what makes it a good life and not a normal one
