The fastest way to shut down my "freelance life means I have to constantly be working" thoughts is to remind myself that if I was a boss holding a worker to the standards I hold myself to, their union would hunt me for sport and nobody would blame them.

Not me immediately screenshotting this and posting it to the OPP freelance writers chat I'm in

I tell myself: "I'm the owner of the company. But more importantly, I'm also the head of Scriveners Local 23, and I have some demands."

So what that means is that I have a four day work week. I work monday-tuesday and then Thursday-Friday. Fuck the boss if they don't like it.

I have a workplace wellness program that means I can take breaks for yoga, meditation, exercise, and naps.

I have unlimited paid personal days thanks to my project oriented work structure--I get to decide what's the best balance between production and restoration. Fuck the boss if they don't like it.

I have five days each quarter for vacation. attending a convention, conference, expo, bookstore event tour, or a writing workshop *is not a vacation.* that's business-related travel. taking a day or two for a weekend jaunt *is not a vacation.* that's unlimited paid personal days. Five working days. Each Quarter. Vacation. and since I always have wednesdays off, it doesn't count.

I know there's a piece of your brain saying "I have to hustle, I have to hustle"

I know

My brain does that too

And without the union boss in my head, I'll just work until I drop. That's what I did for years. And then I burnt out so bad that this is the first time I have actually made real, noticable progress(1.) similar to my pre-burnout rates in years.

Because the union boss went on strike, and the boss' bottom line was *destroyed.* If I have to crunch now, the union boss enforces recovery time. that's all overtime. but since I don't get paid a wage, I get all that back in time.

The boss never wants to see a strike like that again.

There is power in a union, even if it's only the union in your head.

(1.) only it's not similar. it's half the "speed" of pre-burnout. It's probably my actual true real speed and not my sweatshop labour hustle culture speed. FUCK THE BOSS IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT.

This is outstanding advice for all forms of freelancing.

I found your shobbs work through finding the “bad touch villain fic” under the shobbs tag and oh my god I’m in love! You write them so well, it’s always a blow to hit the end of the Drabble! Did you take them back off Ao3? I tried to find them and couldn’t, but I’d love to be able to bookmark them on there to save them

I am well aware that this is, like, 4 years late, but thanks a bunch for this. <3 Nice to come back and see that people enjoyed stuff while I was gone.

Out of a fit of "I hate everything I've ever written omg burn it with fire" a few years back I did delete everything off of AO3, so sorry. It'll stay up here though! If the fandom ever becomes more active, or I make my way back to a smidgeon of enough confidence to continue anything, then I'll potentially repost it there.

Thanks again, and hope life's treating you wonderfully!

#guhhh he’s going run right into her with all of his 6-feet and she’ll ricochet off and land a mile away#so he literally picks her entire frame up and takes the momentum#think fast! YEET THE PRINCESS gently three feet backwards#lol her legs are so far off the ground and she hits it running and keeps going arms flailing mid-rant#doesn’t miss a beat - she cannot be stopped!
