Guess who doesn’t work at Bell of Lost Souls anymore!

I’m making it sound dramatic when it isn’t at all. AI is throttling writing and TTRPG industries and it’s forcing some cuts. It’s a huge issue across tons of industries and I honestly have nothing nice to say about people who use AI instead of being creative or using any of the critical thinking skills they probably once had.

But as of today BoLS and I have parted on good terms and as friends with promises of good references and possible work in the future if circumstances chance, and I truly hope they see nothing but success in the future. I worked with BoLS for nearly seven years, and it was easily one of the most enjoyable and fulfilling jobs of my life.

So where am I going from here?

Well, BoLS was in no way my main source of income. I have a full time job, as does my husband, so we’ll be okay. BoLS was the job I lovingly referred to as my “trash cash.” It was how I made a little extra for fun things or to pay down car loans faster. Yes. I’m looking for another writing job, but there’s no scramble or urgency.

My goal right now is to apply for one writing job per day. Anything where I can talk about nerd culture or movies or Disney; things that I’m passionate and knowledgeable about. And while I’m doing that I’ll try to update here semi-regularly. Maybe with journaling, maybe with movie or TV show reviews, maybe just with my thoughts on a piece of media. It could work double-duty as an outlet for my thoughts, and a place to store potential writing samples.

And of course, I have a few book ideas that I’ve either never gotten off of the ground, or written entirely and never got around to editing. I could – and should – work on those as well.

So, if you’re looking for a freelance or part-time writer, I’d love to hear from you. Or, if you want to book a Disney vacation, I’m also a specialized travel agent. I do a lot of things; I’ll be okay.
