Read the bolded text on the bottom of the page, it is of utmost importance!!!DeviantART, listen to me, and hear my cry!!! This site has suffered a tragic loss recently. A reputable, popular, amazing writer/friend/comic resigned from his position here, and deactivated his account for reasons currently unknown.
Such an occurrence does not commonly take place within this booming community predominating over the non-conforming internet. Yet, when it does, a ripple of deep sorrow and regret pulsates throughout the gatherings of the leaving-artist's fans, friends, and critics. It couldn't have been predicted by most -although a select few will say they saw it coming. Still, both groups have been struck with severe heartache, begrudgingly knowing that the swiftly snatching maw of this beast we call the web, has forever stripped us of a true pal.
I have known
for two years. To me, that is quite a long time to know anyone, much less be consistent friends through DA's chatrooms. It was his writing that inspired me to try my hand in literature, and through much failure and struggling and self-loathing, I am finally published, and holding a nice position as a freelancer. is -I shall never use was, for he always will be- a life-changing, inspirational guy.When I logged on after a couple months of inactivity, and saw Ru's name crossed off my friend list with that ugly, horrid light grey lettering and slash, I wanted to cry. I knew he voluntarily left, Ru was a troll sometimes, but a good-natured, funny one. He would make jokes, but only to a limit. If he upset someone, it would bother him to no end.
Banning RuCarNutz is an unthinkable, incomprehensible concept that is likely to happen after hell switches occupations with heaven. Not going to happen.
Immediately I checked my inbox -full of old messages and Club stuff (which I must discuss later on)- and scrolled until I found Ru's departing journal entry. What struck me the harshest was not his words, but how minute and short the note was. If you haven't already read it -I am sure most of you have- click the following link to view it: rucarnutz.deviantart.com/journ…
35 words. 35 tiny, emotionless words which concluded two years -- nearly 730 days of friendship. What do I regret the most? That I wasn't around to comment and beg him to stay...
So please, in the comments leave your final regards, wishes, regrets, or anything you hoped Ru would have heard before deserting us....
Hey!!! If you would like to be part of a super-secret project I am going to host in honor of Ru, send a note over my way, saying you would like to join!!!
Commissions
Commission Details Prices and Returns: $15 per 1,000 words standard rate, or 1.5¢ per word. I use PayPal. I don’t have any other means of accepting payment. Editing during the drafting stages costs no extra. Should the final draft be agreed upon, but a large edit would like to be made, there will be a $10 fee incurred. Unless the edit is grammatical or syntax-related. That is on me, and I do not charge for those edits after the project is finalized. The outline process does not cost anything. This is the stage where the client and I brainstorm together. These discussions will provide details for what the story will be about, what kind of characters will be in it, what the setting is and so on. The outline will be sent to the client upon completion so it can be assessed and tweaked as necessary. Before writing begins, I do require half of the payment be sent as a held fee. This protects my time and work. There is a diminishing rate for returns if the client would like to cancel
Stress, Career and Commissions
Howdy everyone, It's been a hot minute since I've touched DeviantART. I hope you all are doing well and holding up. I know things have been kind of hectic since 2019, but hey what can you do? Just keep on keeping on; that's about it, right? I'm going to give everyone a brief update on where I've been, outstanding projects, plans for the future and what's in store for my page here. If you're looking for a Tl;Dr, it'll be included at the end. So let's get to it. For three years I worked at a local hospital. I'm no nurse or doctor, I was just someone who cleaned and disinfected operating rooms after surgeries were performed. I worked there through the Covid pandemic. It was not a good place to be, though not only because of Covid. The job itself was exhausting from the overtime, lack of staffing, management was drowning, and as things got harder the higher-ups were demanding more and more from us. I'd lost all time to myself, and my drive for writing died. I kept practicing on the
It's been a long time.
It really has been quite the span of time. Adult life turned and dumped me off at a crossroads where I took the wrong turn. I made every single bad choice, lost a lot of people in my life, took on massive debt from medical bills, watched my family leave my side, and so my love for writing died with nearly all of my passions I had. Despite all of this, life found a way to mend the bad and there's a light on my horizon now. For all of the people who left me, I have a resilient group who remained through the good and the bad. Thick and thin--as tired as that saying may be--has shown me no matter how difficult the road gets, I will inevitably encounter good souls along the way. The best of them all, of course, is my partner. She's been truly sweet to me, and her company is not without healing. That healing has ignited an old itch I didn't think would return after my mom passed away. I feel the need to write, and so I have been writing. The products have been small and cautious little
Ideas and Questions
Howdy-howdy folks,
I hope you all had a great Halloween (a bit late, I know) and that all is well. Nothing beats the season where the leaves start dropping and the temperature spikes down close enough that the promise of snow is ever present. My sarcasm doesn't leave much room for me to get by when it comes to snow. Despite living in a pretty darn cold state, I do not enjoy the frost and ice much.
What I do like, however, is writing. In the spirit of the northern winds that keep on sweeping through, I'll keep this breezy.
I have a couple of rough drafts sitting here in front of me. Some of them are traditional horror pieces, anothe
