Thanks to @apacherose3, I’ve had the opportunity to do so, so many pieces for both @GamesRadar and @PCGamer. All of them have been on Fortnite like this guide to almost every single chest on the map that took me bloody *ages*: (10/X) https://www.gamesradar.com/fortnite-chest-locations/ …

I wrote about Minecraft - well, games like Minecraft - for @PCGamesN, thanks to @jBenson and @iamthemanta (my author name got lost on the piece in the site redesign ): (11/X) https://www.pcgamesn.com/minecraft/games-like-minecraft …

Last week, I had the pleasure of writing for @TrustedReviews for the first time thanks to @_JakeTucker with previews for both Fear The Wolves & SCUM. Check out both here: (12/X) https://www.trustedreviews.com/author/fordjames …

I even went on the radio! @holly_keogh contacted me to go on @talkRADIO to chat about Fortnite which was a great experience and one I’d love to do again: (13/X) https://cdn2.talksport.com/tscdn/talkradio/audio/listenagain/20180714_0200_LA.mp3 …

I have worked my fucking socks off throughout August. @aylanna_w can vouch - I’ve hardly stopped. I’m still living at home but if I keep this up, I’ll be able to move out before this time next year. (14/X)

There’s not really a point to this thread, if I’m honest. My mental health is still in the shitter. I have some terrible days where I can hardly get out of bed and suicide is a regular thought. (15/X)

My physical health has deteriorated too. I’ve put on a lot of weight this year, I’ve started to notice a lot of aches and pains that never used to exist. Not to mention my now non-existent social life since I left uni. (16/X)

But I’ve made things work. I’ve put my head down and I’m going to continue to do so for the rest of this year and into 2019. And if you’re in a similar boat, you can make it work too. It’s not easy, especially in this industry - pitch rejections HURT. (17/X)
