#Freelance Writing Work

[financeprincess]

I love Tumblr and Pinterest and YouTube but you seriously need to get off your phone as much as possible if you want to make actual changes. Stop the doom scrolling. Turn off notifications. Turn on DND. Log off. Delete apps. Delete accounts altogether. Unsubscribe from texts and emails. Put time limits on the apps on your phone. Unless social media is making you money, limit it as much as possible. Overloading yourself with information is just another form of procrastination. At some point you actually have to take action. Less consumption, more creation.

Potential Ideas For Comics

While doing research and writing various projects in the past few months or so, ideas for potential comics for Marvel and DC came to me. One such book centers around this cool fellow in the above image. I'll even do a writing audition to show my skills to the powers that be. Indie publishers and Big Two current editors can contact me at either torgomadness@yahoo.com or 10thDoc73@gmail.com anytime. My rates are reasonable, and I'm more than willing to write superhero, science fiction, fantasy and horror comics featuring any character. Serious offers only.

some fooliverse!gavin angst:

considering he's taking his certification exam soon, that means he had to endure the constant abuse and discrimination from the academy and his peers just to get the chance to take it

no wonder it's so important to him

It's been a long year and it's only February…

Well, it's time to put this out there: I've had a fairly shitty few years (like, haven't we all, obviously), but it's included a long, expensive legal battle against unscrupulous cysts, which is finally concluded satisfactorily save being left somewhat skint on the other side of it. Doesn’t help that said battle meant that I had to move house - not exactly a low activity on the expense and stress scales…

So I'm looking for extra work, to help while we wait for the Luxury Space Communism to kick in (I'd settle for Universal Basic Income or an end to the Housing and Cost of Living Crisis, tbh).

Things I do to a professional standard include:

Creative Mentoring and Tutoring (writing and performance techniques, especially for poetry - bespoke or standard workshops available for groups as well as one-to-one).

Project Management (feeling overwhelmed by a project you want to get off the ground and/ or run within budget and timescale? I can help with that).

Business Change Management (you need to expand or shift your business focus? I can help that happen in a well-managed fashion).

Performance Poetry (got a bunch of poems, 18 years' experience delivering them live, and a nice voice).

Writing to Commission (especially poetry, but I write both fictive prose and essays too).

Voice Acting and Narration (I've acted in audio dramas and narrated short stories, training videos, and so far one documentary).

Book and Pamphlet Production (I operate a small press).

Basic website setup and maintenance.

Training on any of the above.

I have a sliding scale of rates depending on customer circumstances, and you can book me for a free initial consultation via my website: https://www.fayroberts.co.uk/crass-commercialism/services/

And if you fancy just sending me money because you're generous, I have a ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/fayroberts

this article about a lawyer and apparently known and respected amateur ecologist tracking down the habitat and proving the continued existence of a particular fish species was very enjoyable (i love any stories where a hobbyist gets to make a genuine contribution to the field) and also taught me about the existence of iEcology, in which researchers do shit like track migration patterns of marine species based on sightings in social media posts, which is soooooooo neat

Day 22 Alt. - Broken

Torture, burns (graphic), fire, broken ribs, broken glass mention, implied noncon (fade to black)

[Directly follows Chihuahua]

“Please!” The scream tore from his throat before he could stop it, terror crackling like lightning in his skin. His ears didn’t process what he had said until Smith was holding a fistful of his hair, waving the red hot iron too close to his already burned throat.

“What was that, hm?” His voice was thick with amusement, a chuckle rumbling in his chest. Wolf shivered, squeezing his eyes shut. He didn’t beg. He wasn’t broken - not yet, not yet -

His world flashed white with agony, the branding iron pressed against his bloodied cheek and rolled down his face and neck, bubbling skin sloughing away as his blood sizzled, burning black on the glowing metal. Wolf came back to himself slowly, the pleas on his lips interspersed with choked sobs that only made the burns stretch and warp over broken flesh.

“Please, please - please stop. I can’t - I - I - please. It hurts, please, I’m going to die I can’t - I - I - I can’t - “

“Shush, shushhh.” The branding iron clattered, set back in the glowing mouth of the furnace. “Shut up and maybe I’ll be gentler on the other side.”

That was different. Different was new and new was bad. Smith was supposed to ask him - name, who hired you, who do you work with - but all that came was a hand grabbing his burned face.

Wolf screamed, tears blurring his vision at the contact, singed nerve endings glowing with blinding pain. He flailed, trying to pull away, dislocated arms useless to pry the hand from his jaw as another closed around his throat, nails digging into the tender, exposed flesh.

“Please! Let - don’t touch me, please, I can’t - stop! Just stop, please!” He was nauseous, brain muddied by the agony but still aware of how deeply unpleasant it would be to retch while Smith was still holding him. (Smith would make him clean it up however he saw fit -)

“You want this to stop, little wolf?” His keening whimper was the only reply he could make, words dead on his tongue as Smith dug his nails deeper into the fresh burns. “What would you do to make it stop?”

The rational part of Wolf’s mind snapped back into place, pain distilling terror to understanding. Smith wanted to hear him say ‘anything.’ And, to his disgust and shame, he was ready to say just that.

But his moment of hesitance was too long.

Smith threw him to the ground, Wolf’s broken ribs scraped across already bloodied glass shards. The ringing in his ears almost drowned out the sound of metal scraping against metal. A flush of sickly warmth told him the furnace had opened again, the iron glowing as gold as Smith’s false tooth.

“Slow on the uptake, hm?” Wolf curled tighter into a ball, ignoring the glass shards digging into his side and legs. His whines were dissolving into sobs. “Quit your cryin’ you little bitch or I’ll…I’ll give you something to cry about.”

The sound of the branding iron being set down shouldn’t have made Wolf weep in relief, but he did so anyway. In his petrified fear of the fire, he forgot there were worse tortured than bloodied skin and broken bones.

A hand wrapped around his ankle, dragging him away from the broken glass and blood to a (so far) unsullied stretch of concrete.

“Ready for something to cry about, bitch?” Smith’s whisper growled too close to his ear, the man’s weight straddling his back and a hand digging nails into his burned shoulder pinning him down. The clatter and rustle of a discarded belt was drowned by his frenetic heartbeat and panicked sobs.

At least it wasn’t the fire.
