@jacobgrey: Oh, I'm pretty aware of all the deadlines going up your ass xD Still would want sucha job

Although maybe for me it's better to stick with an office job and have lots of time to actually write what I want.
How does writing for Kindle work tho? I didn't even know you could do that

Seriously Jacob, that sounds like my dream job and the best way you could have gotten into it too. :}

@memoriam Anyone can self-publish on Kindle :) you just have to set up a Kindle bookshelf account. Anyway, not like I usually do that bit myself, I just sell the manuscript and the client sets the rest up XD
@Dream-Baby/memoriam It was pretty lucky XD It's been hard work though too. I don't get to take vacations because my clients need me any time, so I have ended up paying to go away and then spending the whole time there working in the past. Plus I do tend to work 8am to 11pm, and don't get paid if I'm too sick to work. And I'm getting paid the same as I had in my entry-level marketing job... when the work is going well XD otherwise I'm earning less. Stilllllll one day the hard work will build up and I'll be making more.

lol, I'll have to look into that then XD
It's like self-employment then, right? My mom used to work like this, she was never home or taking work home

It kinda sucks, but it's still kinda a nice thing to do in life. *is still a big fat jelly

I wish you all the best with that job
Edit: I've got to quit posting during searching for the fragments, I keep forgetting where I've been already and everything

Yeah, I've looked into that.
One day I'll have enough work finished to the part that I feel good to publish it. :}

I tried to read the agreement but either my English isn't that good or my brain's just too lazy to understand the legal gibberish XD
Oh, I'm faaaaar before that will happen XD

I always read all the legal agreements. It's the one reason I don't have FB, twitter or that popular photo app.
Haven't tried reading the agreement over at Kindle as I will wait for it till I have something to post. :}

I would read it, I'd just rather it was in my own language too, but it's not and after the whole day of working in English mostly, my brain rebels at me and is like "no, you're not gonna understand a word, and yes, I'm going to make you feel lazy and tired so you don't go into any dictionaries

" My brain's mean

Edit: although I have a lot of trouble understanding legal stuff in my own language too, so maybe that won't help me either XD

Exactly, self-employment :P I'm registered as a one-person company for tax. I work only from home except from when I do a bit of cover in the office where I worked before this.

I knew it XD I wonder how do you get your clients? do you advertise yourself somehow?
