How much does being a writer pay?” That made me stop. “It pays enough. I take on more work when I have a hard time, but overall, the income is not bad.” He was silent for a minute. “And if I can help out?” he asked. “Don’t go there, Kai,” I responded quickly.

“What the hell are you saying?” “A reasonable hypothesis!” The female editor stated. She then explained in a matter-of-fact tone, “You know, I’m aware of your situation. You earn more than 40 thousand a month, including royalties from your web novels. The average salaries of professionals at our age is around 20k to 30k. You can be considered rich, especially since you live by yourself and has no family to support. There’s no reason for you to suddenly become a gardener. So apart from your search for inspiration and ideas, what else could have you pushed you to do so?”

I go crazy when all those bad things come back to me. I turned off the laptop, then closed it. That’s enough for today because I want to rest again.

But for right now, their focus is to get my name out there.” “No, their focus is to save a buck,” I said bluntly. “Tessa, if you want to be a professional writer, you need to establish a backbone and don’t get yourself taken advantage of.”

"Since your mail as an author becomes public, there's an infinite amount of scams that come in there. Fan mail comes in there too, but it's crazy how many times people have tried to scam me by posing as agents for sales pages, fake publishers, people claiming to be from my imprint, and many more things." “I hadn't seen it that way,” Izan said with surprise. “Being a stable writer is a difficult thing, but it's worth it,” I said honestly. "Most of the profit goes in taxes, but at the end of the day the satisfaction of having your readers read you is amazing.

But mostly I write stories for brands. People. Companies. I help them find their voice. Sometimes under my name. Sometimes not. Depends.”

Yes, not even a single dollar, and even for TCM, my earnings from six months are only 85$, which I can't withdraw until it reaches the point. So, if you were in my shoes, would you continue to write for no pay, with no motivation, just to see your efforts go to waste? Believe me I would have continued writing because I still have two more plots ready but my parents think I am wasting my time and not doing any work because for my parents I don't have anything to show them and I think they have a point because they are worried that I keep writing all night but they can't see any result so they suggest I look for some other work which can cover my expenses though writing has my heart I am goin

By evening, everything had changed. Her phone , the old one she rarely used started buzzing with notifications. The poem had exploded. Thousands of reads in just a few hours. Shares. Comments from strangers who said it captured exactly how they felt after heartbreak, betrayal, or emotional abandonment. Some readers called it haunting. Others said it made them cry. Money started coming in too. The platform paid creators based on engagement and premium reads. By the next morning, her earnings had crossed several hundred dollars.

“In the Davidson family’s eyes, I’m just a freeloader. But I’ve sold quite a few copyrights. Some directors even invited me to be a screenwriter, but I was too scared to deal with people, so I turned them down.” Laura asked, “How much have you saved?” Xandra counted on her fingers. “Since college, I’ve published over ten works. Some were adapted into films and did really well, so my later copyrights sold for high prices. There are also comics, audio versions, animations, films, and digital subscriptions… You know I’ve always been supported by Uncle, so I don’t spend much. I have over a hundred million in my account.” Laura choked on her water. “How much did you say?”
