Since Last I Counted (27.II this year) - Writing is My Work


New blog on the kid : An Internet Production / Une production sur internet

27.II.2019 in one comment under it, and since then:

142 + 30 + 6 + 6 + 2 + 7 + 25 + 28 + 12 + 69 + 2 + 8 + 4 + 1 + 1 = 343

343 + 7439 = 7782

Before Paris (and first months up to New Year):

2008 468
2009 249
468 + 249 = 717

121 - 31 (gm b1 lou) = 90

807

Since New Year 2010, 6975 posts.

2010 365 2015 365
2011 365 2016 366
2012 366 2017 365
2013 365 2018 365
2014 365


2700 + 540 + 47 = 3287

2019 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 18 = 199

3386 * 5/7 = 2429 (Saturday and Sunday normally free)

2429 - 99 - 7 = 2323 (11 legal holidays each year, 7 have passed this year)

2323 - 225 (nine years times 5 5-day weeks legally paid vacations) = 2098.

6975 / 2098 = 3.3245948522402288 ... 3 hours and nearly 20 minutes per day if each post counts as one hour's work. That would be somewhat excessive for effective writing time, since I more often go under than over 1 hour, but definitely under edge for all time totally needed, including preparations, getting in the mood, thinking for next post (like I thought for this one before getting to the library, but had no calculator).

In France, legal working hours are 7 hours per day, so, as a writer, I am working nearly half time. Or more than half time, if you like.

Add to this, the fact that being homeless is a "full time job" allowing you to be disturbed 24 / 24. Everything takes more time if you have to beg for it, if you lack a passport, as I do now while money is already on my account, if you need to put up with lots of extra food while or even after begging, until your kidneys hurt and until the thickness of your blood, or your blood pressure, beats the ear.

Many times, though, I could say that working as a writer is nearly full time, since much of the time I am on internet is socialising, keeping up and therefore compensating for the loss of human contact in so called real life, and if I try to have one hour in a cyber full time writing, I'll probably have another hour soon writing none, to do this too.

Some ways of taking contact hurt me more than they help, like "where do you come from?" when I was starting to explain my blogs, which I was showing. Take this piece of consideration into much of my time spent off line is promoting my blogs, like nearly every time I beg. And if I get my money, I will still also have promotion of blogs to do, if it is much, I'll do it in a non-begging way (unless I'm hindered in getting it), but it is still part of my work.

Dear Saint Camillus, pray for me against those who would like my work and the fact I call it such, to be classed as a case for your profession! Amen!
