Better Sorry Than Safe

Good morning, my Lovelies! How ya doin'? Hanging in there? Getting enough sleep? Taking good care of yourself? Me? Well, my answers are: Eh, I'm here, sort of, no, and no. But I'm doing the best I can at this point and well, as I always say, it is what it is.

So what's new with me? I have exciting news! I've been working on something that I've wanted to do for a while now. I've been hoping to find more ways to share with you all. After much consideration and freaking my children out (Damn that was fun!), I decided that making an OnlyFans account was not the best avenue for me. I did, however, decide to make a Patreon account.

What does that mean? That means that if you become one of my patrons you will get exclusive access to some of my projects! I've been working on things such as poems and short stories to share with you, and I will be offering some audio works, as well. There are a few other things that I'm working on incorporating in the subscription (newsletter, photos, etc.), and as soon as I have it all worked out and my account is live, I will let you know.

Now, you may be wondering why I'm going to all this trouble. Other than the fact that I need an outlet for my work, for my creativity, I'm also hoping to grow my readership. You see, I desperately want to chase my dreams on a full-time basis, and make my writing my main source of income.

I'm sure you're also wondering when the hell I'm going to have time to do all of this. I'm still working on that, but as I'm already not sleeping half the time, I'm considering giving up sleeping altogether. I mean, it seems logical. And with the changes in my work schedule? Well, it's the only thing I can come up with.

Changes? Yes. As of yesterday morning, I now have to drive an hour to and from work each and every day. No more working from home a day or two a week. Believe me when I say I'm not happy. This is not what I signed on for and it sucks ass. (Wait, some of you enjoy that shit... Let's say I hate it beyond all reason.) Yes, I'm looking at other job options, but for now, I have to suffer through and carry on.

There are times I still can't figure out how my job changed so drastically in such a short period of time. I went from working ten minutes from home, next door to my children's schools, with a generously sized office of my own (It was so damn cute!), to working in a cubicle in an office that is boring and an hour away from home and my children. Having my position transferred has been devastating for me and is something that I never would have guessed would happen. 

Why exactly did it happen? The best I can figure is that the main office didn't approve of the local office having any amount of jurisdiction over me and my duties. (What can I say? Everybody wants me!) It's a long story, and maybe one day I'll tell you about it, but not today. I will say, had I known of these changes, I likely would have never accepted the position.

But, I digress. So what can you do to help my following grow and ultimately help me fulfill my dreams? Share me! If you've read my books and you enjoyed them, tell others about them! If you have friends and family who would enjoy my blogs, pass my information along! When my Patreon is up and running, join my journey! 

Oh, and if you haven't read my books? What the hell are you waiting for?

As always,

Much love from me to you!
