Now he’s a full-time writer.

Morning sunlight crashes through the dirty windowpane

He sits at his workstation

He was forced into early retirement to save his apartment

No one wanted someone 60 with an MFA in fiction writing

It’s okay

With social security

A small pension

And Triond earnings

He survives

He writes

The End

Sex Videos is a flash fiction story.

I hope he is not depending on his Triond earnings.
Jimmy Shilaho on Nov 21, 2010
Very encouraging. I also do a million other things apart from writing but find the Triond income substantial enough not to be ignored.

Good luck.

wow! Hopefully he can get his triond earnings way up to live better. More writing = more pay right? Good work Guy. Keep it up.

Finding employment over the age of 40 is a challenge for many. Keep writing Guy.

This is great.
Your writing is precise and concise. You’ve just injected more zest into me. Now I don’t only hope but believe that I too can make ends meet here on Triond. Keep writing such encouraging stuff.

Thanks Guy!

This reminded me of the song Living on the Edge by Aerosmith. Yeah I’m living on the edge and I got nothing to lose so I keep my motor running all through this endless summer night… The extra income on Triond does make a difference.

My brother just had to retire early because he was laid off at 61 and couldn\’t find a job. Keep writing you can make some money on Triond, I have finally started getting a check at least every 2 months.
