Hi, my name is Miniclift239! Finding work

Miniclift239

My name is Joseph, I have often struggled to find work and employment. Right now I am working a zero hour contract, albeit one that only provides eight hours of work a week right now.

I have Autism and ADHD and these are the two biggest barriers for me finding work and operating independently at home. Building on top of that I also suffer from an anxiety disorder, all of which makes me struggle finding work and dealing with change.

My long term goal is to be a writer (either for video games or episodes of TV like animated shows). But in the short term I need to gain a more reliable income

That's exciting wanting to be a writer! Video games would be really interesting to write for. Have you done any writing before?

I've done some minor projects, mostly fanfictions though I have written a rough draft for an episode 'script'

And I've already signed up to the support to work team

It must be so fun writing fan fiction. It allows you to work on your creative writing but the characters and world-building is already done for you. Are you happy to share more about your script?

Glad you've signed up to the support to work team.

I always think it must be so much fun to write TV and video games @Miniclift239! What ships do you write fanfiction about if you don't mind me asking?

Well it's not exactly romantic fanfics I write, even though I do have some passionate opinions on different ships in certain fandoms
