I've been working a contract job for about a year now developing various Artificial Intelligence. As of February, I've been given no new work, so I've burned though a lot of my savings just to stay afloat. It's really rough right now. My blood pressure is skyrocketing and my mental state is completely ruined. I've been submitting applications to dozens if not hundreds of other AI jobs, Writing jobs, customer service jobs, etc, and none of them are responding. If they do, it's a denial letter. I spend 15 minutes to a full hour applying to these jobs because they make it super difficult to do so purposefully. They also have very dumb requirements like "Apply for DMV Clerk Position: MUST HAVE DMV CLERK EXPERIENCE, NO EXCEPTIONS!" Like... how do I get the experience if the job itself requires the experience before working the job? Like... what?

I am about to start selling everything I own at this point to make ends meet. I don't need much to survive, but man does this suck. To help stave off that bleed, I was hoping to officially open up writing commissions soon and see if anyone would be interested. I know I haven't written much as of late. However, my experience with AI and interaction with this particular API I've been messing with has reinvigorated some of my creative writing juices.

$25/1,000 words. DM me for further details. If it's gonna be NSFW, it should follow themes commonly found here on my profile.

I was told by a friend to open a Gofundme to help me get by, but I've never known a generous soul in my life that's willing to help me financially. Most of my friends are poor. I'm usually the one taking care of them, and I hate being a burden on top of all of that. I might do it, but please know I'm not in any immediate danger of being put out yet. I'm not malnourished or handicapped or starving. I'm just a normal guy struggling to find a job and make ends meet. And I don't know what will happen when my bank account hits 0...

I'm glad everyone's been liking those AI-assisted stories and recent artworks of Harla. I saw we hit the pageview milestone goal I wanted to get for the year. Lovebound sold over 50 copies, so that was neat. Was debating if I should've also sold the Harla comic. Probably would have been for the best, honestly, considering I spent a decent sum of money on it back when I had a steady income.

Anyways, that's all really. Hope your 2025 is going better.
