Glad I'm lost at options πŸ˜‚ saves me a lot of money. I do better not timing the market. Time in the market is much better. If you don't have the insider info which is cheating stay away from options. You may as well be a day trader which 99% don't succeed at

I don't get the short call part. The way I understand it. I have the shares and I am making a deal with someone that at some point in time I will sell my shares to that someone for specific price. That someone pays me premium for that. Am I getting it correct? Sooo, if price goes down, contract is not realized. Buyer lost a premium, I gained a premium.
If price goes up and contract is realized, buyer earns money from calculations, but what about me? How am I losing anything? Yes, I am obliged to sell him my shares for specific price, so if price is higher I theoretically haven't earned more, but I also haven't lost anything because I've sold my shares with premium for a profit. What am I getting wrong here?
How otherwise does it make any sense to be a short call writer? If I was convinced that price will drop I would just go with long put.
Am I wrong in assuming that short call writers offer their own shares(I understand the principle of short trading, but in case of options I am not sure if words are used in the same meaning)? That would make it clear for me, but then why not just go with long put and the worst case scenario is I lose premium?
Can you give me a scenario where being a short call writer makes more sense than being a long put buyer?
