(no subject)

this month is a struggle. the house needs some important repairs (plumbing, rotting wood on the ramp to be replaced, stuff like that) and mom and I are scrambling trying to figure out where to get the money from. that on top of groceries and bills (again) and it's like. what. I can't ask for money anymore. I mean, I can. I can and I probably will but right now I'm not.

I thought about starting a gofundme but I don't think I will. I don't know. mom is so stressed. I'm so stressed. meg is fine lol. I'm worried about getting too much money on a gofundme and then the government crashing on me. I'm worried about not getting enough and... just not having enough. I don't know.

and I'm so mad at myself, I see so many of my friends making money from their writing and I'm not. I have tried but I can't get more than 20k words of an original thing out so far, and I can't do nonfiction. am I not trying hard enough? I feel like such a failure.

this is why I don't update. all my updates are depressing.

paypal (okay so I'm just putting the link here)

I don't do paypal, but if you do amazon, I'll be happy to send you necessities through amazon.

I want to send you a gift card but amazon isn't filling out your email address for me. Which address would you like me to make it out to?

Sending you hugs btw. <3

Also, you are not a failure.

You are not depressing (although you may be depressed).

Life is hard for a lot of people right now, including me, and we get it. You are not burdening us by telling us the truth of what it's like to be you right now.

You are not a failure as a writer because you can't write 50K words to order or whatever.

Hoping for the best for you and your family.

Writing is hard enough at the best of times, without putting that kind of pressure on yourself (or being under that kind of pressure)! *hugs and hugs*
