Sometimes I just want to write a long rambly post about what is going on in my life. I’ve been trying to come up with a title for these kinds of posts (because they could be anything really). And I found it! Do you love it?
Do you ever have one of those days when you feel like you’re doing a lot but you aren’t actually doing any of the things you’re supposed to do? I’m having one of those days. Actually, I have a lot of those days. But I’m trying really hard to make them happen less. But not succeeding at that today. Oh well. I will try after lunch. LOL
Writing and Work
Some of you might have read the article I posted about why I’m not going back to work. I had such good intentions. I really did.
Unfortunately, the best plans…
The restaurant I am working at is opening up in a week or two. And I guess I am going back. I am sure they will be working on reduced staff because they will only be able to open up with a 50% seating capacity so there’s no point in having 3 servers on when 2 can easily handle half capacity. So, I’ll likely only have maybe 3 shifts a week. That’s actually ideal for me.
The other good thing is that I can continue to collect CERB as long as I don’t make more than $1000 per pay period. That’s what my boss said anyway. Canada is great. LOL. But if that’s the case I figure I may as well make a little more money while I try to establish a routine and some consistency to my writing and publishing.
I did really good yesterday. Loads of writing. So, I know I can do it. It’s just a matter of sticking to that damned schedule.
Sigh.
I hate schedules.
But it is very apparent that my brain cannot be fully functional most of the time if I don’t have one. So, I’m working on it.
Ko-Fi
I decided to move to Ko-fi for people who want to support me. My Patreon page is up (because someone is supporting me for $5 a month and I am grateful to whoever you are). But I like that Ko-fi lets you decide how much you want to support someone. You can use PayPal or Swipe so the options are nice. And you can choose to support me once or you can do it any time you read something you like and it didn’t cost you anything.
At the bottom of this post there’s a button for my Ko-fi page if you’d like to support me for as little as $2. You can choose any amount higher than that if you like though.
I will be posting previews of my works in progress and one story a week for monthly subscribers. Only $2 a month? How can you beat that?
I’ll also be handling all story commissions through Ko-fi from now on.
The Autumn Seave Brand
In the past, a large amount of my freelance income was generated under my own name. While I will have a few clients that deal with me under my personal brand, I’ve decided that the majority of the work I do online will be to promote my Autumn Seave brand.
What does that include?
- Freelance services through Intimate Words
- Fiction writing (as Autumn Seave, but also Alicia Stone and S.M. Donald and maybe to a lesser degree, Dixie Darling)
- Sex and relationships and dating articles at Medium
- And of course, Inky Blue Allusions, which I think will be a hub of everything I do and my personal blog posts (like this one)
Poerotica
I’ve been writing a lot of poetry lately. Well, a lot more than I have written in the past. And I’m really enjoying it. It’s a place where I can let out all my emotions and just set them loose.
Anyway, I guess I should get my shit together and go and write some actual fiction. I’m so far behind now…
