I've sadly lost a decent chunk of my regular income, and I'm looking for something to plug the gap asap.
If any editors are looking for regular SEO copy, branded content, reported features, news reporting or anything else, please do get in touch!

I can’t believe Curtis and AJ Pritchard asked “how’s Trish?” a year ago today. It literally changed the world forever and I can’t imagine my worthless life without it!

hi, are you doomscrolling? Our bodies and minds were not designed to be this anxious and stressed for so long. How about going to sleep early tonight? You still deserve time to rest and recover.

Lucy's first @substack post. Thanks for inspiring our writers @Farrah_Storr
since turning my hobby into a full-time job, my ~creative~ writing has taken a backseat - so I've hastily made 'things i tell my cat' as my new outlet after listening to @Farrah_Storr's @WritersSalon interview - and my first post is live!✨🎁 @substack

My very excellent sister-in-law is writing great things. V relatable, has 'cat' in the name, etc.

My typical freelance workday involves wildly swinging between these three things:
😳 Panicking about not having enough work
😬 Panicking about having too much work
🧐 Searching for work I definitely don’t need

I think we’re all stronger than we give ourselves credit for. In times of challenge, we can learn to show up for ourselves, be our own support network - sometimes that’s the blessing in a crisis, that we learn our true strength.

The only thing I can tell you right now is to care about the things you can control. You can't control the pandemic. You can't control what your friends & family do. You can't control the news cycle.
But you can look after yourself, your wellbeing & your mental health. Do that.

*Sharing again for sanity*
Anyone on here need a part-time writer / editor / content person for their business? I'd like to work one-two days a week next year within a team so I don't fully lose my mind. Say hi in my DMs or drop me an email 📩

Had a massive cry on the Thameslink home about *everything* tonight. The uncertainty, the loss of hope, the feeling like everything changes week to week. It's a lot. And going through it solo is also a lot. If you're feeling burnt out & end-of-tethery too, you're not alone.
