I am such a deep sleeper

I wish ... I'm still hypervigilant from Vietnam and will probably never get over that experience. My head is on a swivel and for good reason. I can hear a whisper from two rooms away which wakes me up but I sleep through yells, screams, and explosions. I'm ****** ...

Not to toot my own horn here, but toot toot. I get paid whenever I want -- thanks to the generosity of the only company I work with, or will ever work with.* These terms won't be available to most of you, but give it time -- you can call your own shots in time too.

the situation may have already been resolved

After 3 years, the "situation" is clearly dead and stinkin', but your question is timely and relevant. For what it's worth, I'll give you the same advice I gave another writer a few years ago who has gone on to success (he didn't need this advice, because he's a straight-up guy but I'll share it anyway):

1. Be honest.
2. Try to be on time (**** happens).
3. Be fair.
4. Recognize your limitations (a hard task with our strong sense of self-efficacy) and be willing to admit when you can't do something.
5. Provide clients with more than they expect. Think about what you're writing and really try to address the assignment guidelines.*
6. See no. 1 above.

IMHO, even mediocre writers can prosper in this industry if they follow these principles and recognize that it takes time. Good luck.

Writing Careers / Kenyan Writers - stop hiring them? [162]

That means an American writer cannot pretend to be Kenyan even if he tried. I

That sounds like a challenge ... Sir Richard Burton took up a similar challenge in 1851 and succeeded in pretending to be a Muslim and even made it into Mecca, just as John Howard Griffin pretended to be African-American in his book, Black Like Me (a good read). Both of these guys dyed themselves to blend in -- no big deal. People can do anything they want to if they want to badly enough.

Gary Larson (Far Side creator) claims he doesn't use drugs, but after he drinks a couple of cups of coffee, "weird things begin to happen." Besides bacon, flour and beans, coffee was right up there on the American pioneers' lists too. I hope they have coffee in heaven 'cause I won't be worth a **** otherwise....

I can usually sleep as long as I want to

Damn. I'm jealous. Ordinarily I work at night and try to sleep during the day but it doesn't seem to matter where I live, the universe wants to wake me up. Phone calls all day long from a newspaper where I'm already a subscriber, my wife's relatives and friends, telemarketers, recorded politicians and wrong numbers (lots of these).

I've even tried living out in the middle of no-*******-where in Oklahoma so I could get some sleep, but zealots still found me trying to sell me a new religion or farmers wanting to know if I'd seen their goats (no). In fact, a nice lady from Nielsen kept coming to our house with a basket of fruit, begging us to become reviewers so she could complete her route (no). I even tried posting a sign on my front door, "Day sleeper -- do not disturb." A couple of days after I did this, my wife left to go shopping and something told me it wouldn't be prudent to go to sleep but I figured what the heck, I've got the sign. I told her before she left, though, that someone would be knocking on our door within 30 minutes after she left. I went to bed and fell asleep, only to wake up to a loud knock on our front door 30 minutes later. A visiting nurse had misread an address, chose to ignore my sign without double-checking and loudly announced that she was there to give me my physical. I was not amused, but my suspicions were confirmed. Yawn ...

It has long been my position that I admire anyone who can speak more than one language, especially those writers such as wordsies who can do so idiomatically. I missed my learning window for a second (or third) language, and I've struggled with foreign languages ever since despite living in other countries where different languages were spoken. I wish I had the smarts to learn another language now ... that would be so cool. At any rate, wordsies is a dependable and honest academic writer whom you can trust to provide you with what you need = and if he can't, he'll tell you so. That makes him aces in my book..

Oh for ****'s sake. Partying for 4 years when you're young is just common sense and it can generate far more desirable memories (and networking opportunities) than toiling away in a hot-ass kitchen ("do you want fries with that?") for minimum wage. You have to pay your dues at some point in time, and the sooner you get it over with the better. Gain a work ethic (that's the only good thing about minimum wage jobs) and an education and you'll get the job you want and prosper. It'll be GREAT! Trust me .... (have lots of kids -- that'll keep you humble).

In general, a "fake paper" is a written piece of work created by someone other than the individual taking credit for doing so. This does not mean, of course, that the written work is "fake" (it's really there after all and it's 'paper' if you print it out). It does mean, however, that something fishy is going on (is this still really a question?) which demands a label. Call it what you will -- we've heard it all. Fortunately, many of us have skins to match the thickness of our wallets and a sincere willingness to help people in need.

But it ain't fake ...

F*** Windows 10 and MS Office Word. I've used both and found that my editing and writing instincts consistently and rightfully outrank their suggested changes (I do like the spell check), but sometimes I break the rules for effect and then all hell breaks loose.

I want us to first admit that what we do is wrong. Irrespective of how you view it, it's still cheating.

You make some valid points and I'll be the last one to argue the point that what we do is not ethically questionable, but I do question whether it's wrong. I look back on the historical record and draw some comfort from the fact that people have been using our services for thousands of years to help them communicate and advance in life. Not to exonerate myself from hell (no point in that effort), but when my clients collaborate with me and I can help them with a tough writing assignment, well, that's great. Indeed, I won't equivocate here. If students use my work product verbatim, that's just ******* cheating. If they use it like I'd prefer as a model to help them write their own masterpiece, that's better but why would I buy a 1963 Corvette and try to "fix it up" myself. Good grief. That ain't gonna happen but I know some guys that could do it. Ergo, I'm not sure what's wrong here except I can't fix up an old Chevy and some students need help writing. No problem from where I'm standing.

Re: Is "writing experience" really needed to be a good writer?

Is experience needed to be a great lover? That's debatable (the answer is yes) but damn. Is this a real question? Can you be a great restaurant critic or movie reviewer without actually eating or watching anything? I thought not. Relax. The first ten thousand papers are the hardest but it doesn't get much easier after that. Homework. Day in and day out. It's like the gangsters -- "This is the like we chose." Get in or get out -- it's your choice. This is tough work and that's the bottom line. It takes time and some trial and error to get it right but it's worth it if you ask me. I wouldn't have done anything else for the past 20 years ...

Over the past 20 years, I've only experienced three chargebacks (thank God) and all of these were from scammers who had already received their work and turned it in for credit. All three suffered from their actions (one was expelled and I'm still looking for him) and all three ended up paying me. Karma is a harsh taskmaster, so don't try to cheat the people who are trying to help you.

They are not stupid

Au contraire, mon ami. If you've driven in traffic lately,* you'll undoubtedly have noticed that at least half of the drivers are dumb as dirt.** I've seen people stop in the middle of the road for no damn reason, and others turn corners so fast they hit the guy next to me. I've actually witnessed a young motorcyclist die in the U.S. because he stopped suddenly in an intersection only to get struck by his buddies in the car behind him. I've also seen a man drive off an ice-covered expressway, only to bounce off a bridge abutment and get right back on the road without interrupting traffic. Jesus was riding with this guy in the front seat, but I'll bet his IQ was about 10.

FLW is absolutely right, but if you get enough education and professional experience under your belt (and read enough), you can gain an appreciation for what's important in different fields of study. In other words, if you can read about it enough, you can write about it reflectively and even position yourself in your clients' position with fresh insights. Over the years, I've been a black female activist, a communist,* a gay rights advocate and even a left-wing sympathizer. This level doesn't come easy -- it is the product of years of work in this field and for that we charge extra.

we have ended up becoming each other's support system

Alas, that's never going to happen. If other posters haven't realized it yet, I certainly recognize your increasingly active participation in this forum for what it is:(notwithstanding your claims to the contrary) -- a blatant effort to increase your participation rate to the point where you can communicate with others in this forum to gain market share (even though that's against their TOS). Fine. Who am I to judge? Hell, I even accept and respect the sustained effort -- been there myself. Calling me a liar and fraud, though, will not get you anywhere as far as I'm concerned. I'm as legit as they come and they will miss me when I'm gone...THEN you can have your market share.

Please also me to clarify. I wasn't referring to anyone else: I only take you for a fool. Yes, I'm 64 years old, a proud disabled Vietnam vet and I hurt all over every ******* day of the world but that didn't stop me from helping those women today. Only my wife, daughters and grandsons (and many of my clients) think I'm Superman but I know differently. That shouldn't stop others from being honest and helpful if they can..

How these companies manage to buy these legal addresses is beyond me.

You need to talk to W2B. All I know is that it's easier now. Hell, I remember having to set my parity bit rate just right to access the only three Web addresses available 25-30 years ago or so (i.e., Smithsonian's gem collection which I've seen in person)* but I also remember just having three television stations (four if you count PBS from noon to 8 p.m. weekdays) when I was a kid.

I haven't belonged to a "group" since I was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army in 1977. Since that time, I've had no superiors and damn few equals, to paraphrase an enlightened train conductor. I use "y'all" and "ain't" as I see fit, and screw MW.**

How about all of the injustices we see around us every day of the world? Just today, I witnessed two young black women in a car broke down in the middle of an intersection with three small children in the back seat. Of course, I stopped and tried to push their car out of the intersection by myself but I'm old and disabled. I signaled to other drivers to help me, but no one would stop. I finally got them off the road safely, only to come home to read this clueless post. I'm not here to make friends, but I don't want to make any enemies either but that's never stopped me before ...

Ahem, you sure ask a lot of naive questions for a "published author" who presumably has some research skills. For instance, Scott Adams (of "Dilbert fame) secured his email address (scottadams@aol)* because he was an early mover. Likewise with other posters with complete and desirable names. If you have to add a bunch of numbers to the end of a desired username, you aren't using your imagination.

students are forced to make spending adjustments where they did not previously have to.

You are better written than most in here ... but I think your "guns and butter" argument (i.e., "students are forced to make spending adjustments where they did not previously have to") is misplaced. Clearly, no one is forcing anyone to do anything in here (or elsewhere if I'm involved). As I've emphasized elsewhere, some people just want to buy their way through college. Who am I to argue? That cost-benefit analysis is highly personal and is incredibly subjective. If I can help, fine. I may be a w****, but as my wife emphasized to me many years ago, I'm the kind of w**** you have to save up for...

I guess they have to do the math....
