Writing Buddy

Anyone wanna write a book together?

[catarinaelibeth]

Would anyone be interested in a virtual writing club? Where we join a skype call and keep each other on mute while we write, and if anyone gets stuck or something, they can talk to the group. And we can let each other know when we reach milestones or come up with something we're really proud of.

Hi Catarinae. Would you mind sending me the link to your etsy store? I couldn't find it on your recent post.

Not sure when this was asked... but here it is https://divergentbards.etsy.com

I will be launching www.ruffledfeathers.com soon though

Various Translators

Hi! Haven't posted in years, so just gonna jump in.

I'm looking for some people who can translate English documents into different languages. Fluency in both English and another language to be able to translate it with nuances and cultural understanding is a must.

[catarinaelibeth]

So. Life has been a lot.

[catarinaelibeth]

Yeah...so... I guess I got hacked. I haven't been in Tumblr since like May.

[catarinaelibeth]

Okay but like why are we forced into shit? Brown skin. Mental disorders. Being alive. Generational trauma and poverty.

Anyone else getting major Les Mis vibes with everything going on in America?

[catarinaelibeth]

A bit of background as to what is going on currently and why I'm posting this from the closed martial arts gym that I instruct at after spending the past 12 hours packing everything I own and sneaking out in the middle of the night.

I am trying to escape a toxic situation. My support network is on the other side of the planet and I’m struggling.  I somehow need to make $3000 as soon as possible to pay back a debt before I leave for Australia next month.  My grandmother, who I was living with temporarily, suddenly decided that I have to immediately pay her back for everything that she’s tallied up in the last few months (even though I'm out of a job because of COVID).  She offered to financially help me, but the attached strings are just now showing themselves. Instead of using my stimulus check to pay off my own debts and bills, she was expecting to keep it without question.  When I explained that I had bills to pay, she lost it at me.  I told her that I would start paying her back the second I start work when I get to Australia.  She told me it wasn’t good enough and that she wasn’t letting me move to Australia because I was too irresponsible to be left alone.  I tried to explain that I’d be with my wife and that we had lined up a job already. She wasn't having any of it and truly believes she owns me. With a history of suicidal depression and self harm, I wasn't going to let her continue to verbally me. I didn't spend the last three years becoming the person I am to let anyone bully me.

I’m not asking for handouts.  I’m trying to get commissions (writing, editing, video editing, graphic design etc.) to help get away without causing yet another rift in the family. I have a very wide list of skills and experience.

In addition to this, my wife and I have created an Etsy store full of queer merch available. I can also make custom shirts and designs for just about anything.

Really anything helps. I can do PayPal ([email protected]) or Venmo (@CatarinaElibeth). I'm to the point where I'll just give you her PayPal. I just need to cut these strings before she comes after me.

I'll even write fan fiction I hate or virtually paint a love poem for your significant other. Whatever. Just reach out to me.

Completely didn't think of posting the Etsy link.

Reinvention Cuffed Beanie

Reinvent your look this winter! A snug, form-fitting beanie. Its not only a great head-warming piece but a staple accessory in anyones ward

[catarinaelibeth]

The store's name is QueerGirlsGuide 💙 Thank you everyone who has reblogged and reached out to me. It's truly amazing.

[catarinaelibeth]

Do you have any preset or guideline prices for your commissions? Like if you do this type of piece it’s usually an average $-$. I know you may not because that’s really hard to do with artwork. But I’m interested in supporting you somehow. Whether it be a commission or item from your shop.

For writing, prices range from $.01-.03/word. Editing is .05/10 words. Graphic design (not complex character design) ranges from $5-$20 as long as it's not extremely complex. More complex will be more than that.

After over 3 years of training and putting everything into a career in martial arts... It's coming to an end.

Just another thing coronavirus ruined for me.

[catarinaelibeth]

It shatters my heart when Sara (while tired or sick) forgets that I'm not there.

Me: (through the phone) I'll be back. I have to pee.

Sara: Can you bring me some water please?
