me, circa early 1800s, paying a stable boy a few coppers to ride overnight to deliver you an urgent letter with a thick wax seal that after you struggle to break it just says “bitch!” in tiny little writing 

no no no, you don’t understand the true level of spiteful here. The sender of a letter didn’t pay for the post in 1800. The receiver did. You just made your enemy pay for the privilege of being insulted.

I’m starting to see why messengers were gettin’ shot

writer emotions

headspace-hotel:

  • In The Zone 
  • Inspiration level of dried up mud 
  • Idea chaos cavorting through your head like bunnies on crack, never making it onto the paper 
  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
  • o shit its 3 am 
  • cat lugubriously puking small and pathetic hairballs onto paper 
  • after-submission cold sweat 
  • i’m going to break my character’s hands in the next chapter *laugh of evil glee* 
  • typing sad scene while crying 
  • reading the chapter you wrote late last night confusion 
  • guilty trickle of procrastination 
  • slamming face against desk headache 
  • worldbuildgasm 
  • writing fan fiction of own books daydream 
  • i am the next tolkien 
  • i am the next rejected sack of shit to be yeeted out of a publisher’s back door
  • clever metaphor delight 
  • drained exhaustion after writing a couple thousand words 
  • euphoric, exhausted emptiness of finishing a book 
  • rereading first draft nausea
  • research hole 
  • screaming at wikipedia 
  • overwhelmed by the mess youve made 
  • cheeto dust on the keyboard mid-writing snacking 
  • typo typo typo 
  • what do i write next existential crisis 
  • when your brain does the nope

Sylvia Plath was right

About what?

“Being born a woman is an awful tragedy. Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars—to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording —all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night.”

REALLY IMPORTANT – NEW PAYPAL UPDATE – PLEASE READ

THIS NEEDS A HELLA SIGNAL BOOST – PLEASE SPREAD THIS UP

EVERYONE needs to start using Invoices. This is very important.

Paypal has recently updated their TOS and it’s something that everyone should pay attention to.

“10.3h If you violate the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, … you will be liable to PayPal for the amount of PayPal’s damages caused by your violation … You acknowledge and agree that $2,500.00 USD per violation … is presently a reasonable minimum estimate of PayPal’s actual damages … PayPal may deduct such damages directly from any existing Balance in the offending Account or any other Account you control.”

DO NOT SEND PAYMENTS AS “GIFTS” You will be risking your commissioners account and that is really really bad.

Artists, REQUEST PAYMENT THROUGH INVOICES. It lets YOU control how money is sent.

Commissioners, DO NOT SEND PAYMENT unless you send it through “for goods and services.” If your artist requests ‘send as gifts’ BEFORE you send payment, tell them about the $2,500 fine per violation, as they probably do not know about it.

Yes, paypal fees suck, but it’s better to have a few dollars missing than to get fined $2,500 for a $20 purchase.

This is really important! And yeah the fees suck, but it’s actually ILLEGAL to select “gifts” if you are actually paying for a service because of tax, like wise it is always illegal to accept payment that way. 

Please if you are a freelance artist taking commissions  ALWAYS SEND AN INVOICE! It can cover your ass in more ways than one, and you know actually makes it easier to keep track of things anyway.
