Just endured that lovely experience that is the self-employed tax return.
Except this year there is a twist. As a self-employed writer you have your ups and downs. 2016-2017 was an 'up' year with good earnings followed by, you guessed it, a very 'down' period from summer 2017-present, in which certain normal writing gigs have dried up and I have also yet to be paid many thousands for completed projects. Naturally the money accrued in 2016-2017 has evaporated and I am basically now on my red-and-blue arse.
What's more, I can't even use my credit cards to pay my bill due to conflicts between HMRC and the government regarding credit card charge policies resulting in the option being withdrawn. So I basically have to find the money from nowhere while effectively unemployed.
Anyone got any advice?
(Please win today, Palace. I f*cking need it.)
