Been out of work for 5 months and I'm definitely starting to feel the financial/emotional/mental burden. But hey, at least I have my weird little stories I get to make up every day. Silver linings, right? #Scriptsky - ThreadSky

I'm just coming out of almost 3 years. Two part-time jobs while finishing my MPH ended a string of driving DoorDash and freelancing news reporting for pennies. Just about killed me. And as I'm about to graduate, an axe, a cleaver, a chainsaw and a hand grenade all got taken to public health. 😭😭😭

same here and for just as long. Good luck out there!

hamrobotham.bsky.social•2 days ago

Same to you. It's a rough time for a lot of folks right now.

Damn! Good luck. Hope you get something soon!

Thanks Dave

In solidarity - yes, imagine not being a writer/artist in this predicament. 🌞

hamrobotham.bsky.social•2 days ago

Absolutely. Gotta keep my sanity somehow!

shinewoman.bsky.social•2 days ago

Same! Only been 3 weeks for me

That’s a tough thing, man. Been there. But you’re doing great work that’s already bearing fruit!

hamrobotham.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah if the wheels on other things weren't turning right now, I'd be in a bad spot. Gotta be fortunate for what I do have right now.

We are in boats of a similar type. At least it feels like the angst can feed into the horror writing?

Ugh, big hugs 🫂 I hope you find something that's the right fit for you soon!

Appreciate it

Lots of stuff out there, but definitely a lot of folks in the same tough spot right now, so the competition is real.

I work in the industry and have not worked on a show in over a year. My crazy brain has been in creative overdrive the last few weeks. Definitely a silver lining Sam, Keep the faith!

I've been lucky enough to keep steady industry (or industry adjacent) work for the last few years, but I guess it's finally caught up with me.

Appreciate the support. Hope things pick up for you soon.
