The things you list here are an anathema to writers, basically saying that we should write what these editors want, not what we want. I save myself from that trap and the hassle that goes along with it. I gather my stories into a book and submit to my publisher. Or you can self-publish.
Hm. I understand these are not for you. I also like self-publishing most of my stories. But as I said, I like the challenge of a prompt or a set theme from the publication. The guidelines from Editors help me narrow down on what and If I want to write what they want.
I am at the stage where I want to experiment and challenge myself. Of, course, I gather no writers are alike on their journey.
We are just here to lift each other up. Here are some things I that have learnt that I thought may help some people. Unfortunately, they are not for you and I appreciate you telling me about it in such a decent manner.
For me, that’s not what writing is all about. It’s like doing a homework assignment for school. At some point, we have to let go of the life line and swim on our own. But as you say, that’s your choice. Best wishes.
