Having a day job means I have less time for writing overall but I never have to write a story I'm not all-in for, for an editor I don't like working with, for a piddling sum that isn't worth the over-rigorous editing process. I enjoy working with the places where I publish
You can also enjoy the Bateman Promise (TM) that I'm never going to adjust the content to suit the tastes of analytics-hungry editors. My positions aren't tied to the positions of these people logrolling each other's work. No Trump, gaslighting, toxic masc, etc. That's all shit
I did that a few times and it broke my spirit. I also wrote some horrible hot take pieces under the bylines of other pypo that shocked my conscience. I couldn't believe what it was really like out there, how the sausage got made in those dark satanic content mills
Insofar as my work is even the least bit good, or the least bit timeless, that's because it is mine. Some of this stuff does indeed linger. And it's rarely the stuff that pops on day 1. Peruse my massive back catalogue for @MUGGER1955https://www.splicetoday.com/authors/Oliver%20Bateman …
