Reply to comment by TheBlueSlipper in We are Unemployed Professors, and we've been writing the things other people don't want to write for 12 years. AUA. by unemployedprofessors

Just one? Hm... Once a client had me write text messages to their friends and family. I don't mean the tough stuff like "Dear mom, this is why I'm going NC..." I mean, like, birthday messages. With lots of obnoxious back and forth about specific emoji and the relative nuance of "Happy birthday buddy!" While I admired that particular client's apparent fascination with the specificity of language, it was definitely strange.

You may have been working for Patrick Rothfuss.

If clients are paying you about $30 for every page you write, how do you claim to be unemployed?

They aren't employed as professors, seems easy enough to me.
