Parriyah Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Since I need a method of having a decent amount of income in this game (just came to the realisation I can't earn money for myself via QFC lol) I've gained interest in doing some writing, be it writing for fight events etc. Only problem is, I don't know the exact amount of writing skill necessary to be considered good enough and quite frankly I find my own writing to be a bit lackluster. For example I have some trouble making what I write lengthy as I run out of ideas on what to write. I wanted to ask y'all first before I go bothering company owners for a writing gig and then presenting them with a low quality (by my standards, at least) sample. Dunno how much mentioning this is helpful but I got a 6.5 in my IELTS writing task. Thanks in advance. I also know making avatars is a good method but I can't use photoshop for the life of me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsquirrel Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Doesn't have to be lengthy, I'd rather read a shorter piece with better content. Writers are often in demand and I think you will do fine. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Writing can be lucrative as there aren't many writers around. Everyone started somewhere in this game so give ot a go and feedback will make you better and better 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwad12345 Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Seems like everyone is looking for writers, you shouldn't have any difficulty finding people very happy to pay you for your services. Even if your writing is poor (which, judging by the coherence of your post, it does not appear to be), having something is better than nothing. You can get more creative as you settle into your role. In the end, consistency and reliability are probably more important to owners than entertainment value. If you try to go overboard, you will likely get burnt out (trust me, I know lol). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thb Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 As mentioned by others, there is a lot of demand for writers so you will be fine regardless. Don't sweat about the quality or the length, just write what you feel like writing and try to have some fun with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickedline Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 I'm interested in a writer gig but before a one time gig that if someone likes my work I can get more 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igorspb77 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Writing is cool and can be very lucrative, but I came to see that few people is using laundry to profit, which is very easy, quick and a good ammount of cash to be done weekly. Just open up a store, sell the whole stock, close it, when the cooldown resets in 7 days to do it again. It could be something around 600k monthly (with 15% fee which is fair for both client and owner), just have to look to the right people and do a good job and your stock will always have demand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, consistency is the hardest part about it. As for the awards, the quality of the writing this year was truly overwhelming. Some really talented writers blessed the forum this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clydebankblitz Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Damn Hoarse still writing? Amazing to see. Back in 2016 I got Hoarse to write me some previews. The first he send me was 7000 words long, the second was 8000. People from the org were even sending him donations after it because they were so amazed. Great stuff Hoarse.
