Question writing tips
How can I share my research writing with others ?
I'm going to college for psychology, and one thing I've been doing on the side is writing. I already write a lot of fiction for my own fun but I also really like writing about my research on substack. I want to know how I could monetize + expand my writing I've done and continue to do on my research, and how did the first couple years of building a writing go? What mistakes did you now experts make that I could maybe avoid? I'm a good writer but a bad marketer if that makes sense, so I want to learn how to share my writing more successfully over a writing platform like substack + medium. #Spring26

How can I choose the right job or college to catered towards what I want to do for my career to be an Author?
I am 19, I graduated high-school last year. I was class of 2025 in June. My original plan was to attend college like everyone and my parents wanted. I did online but things got hectic for me so I left. I've never had a job. I know that writing is my passion. I would love to become an Author one day. But I still unfortunately struggle to get a job because well what I've been taught is that I need a degree or start from just any random job just so I could be successful. But it stresses me because something I learned about myself is I am not interested in school as much. I know I want to learn but I want to decide my success for itself because I always let what everyone says affect what I do. I just want advice on how I can find a decent job or school that I like without compromising what I want to do. I know my success is not the same as anyone else's but the point is that I want to do something I love for the rest of my life, not something I hate.
