Like I always do, I forgot to mention that just as this blog crossed it’s record 650 views in a month, it also crossed it’s 650th post…isn’t that funny. 650 posts later, i’m more into it than I ever was when I started…I’m more into it than I was 150 posts ago…although I admit this morning’s post wasn't up there with the best, but i’m just trying to survive, and some articles have to be like that. My apologies.
I was talking to my dearest sober friend today about how things have a learning curve and you have to just keep at them, because you never know when what you’re doing will catch the right set of eyes that could bring things to a higher level. He was telling me about how that guy JellyRoll got his Best New Artist Grammy at age 40, after making music more than half of his whole life, and how he never gave up. I don’t feel inclined to give up on writing, either.
Anyway, I’m pretty tired it was an unstable and eventful week last week, and today is Easter. I don’t celebrate Easter because I’m not Christian (nothing against Christ, though), but I did stay up late researching ways to get more traffic (and money) to this little corner of the internet where I say what I think, where I’ve been and what I’ve been through. I’ve got some interesting things i’m trying, like AI generated YouTube shorts, and AI generated tiktoks. The stuff I started doing last week (on Reddit and quora) seems to have paid off big time. Unfortunately, the most important thing is to keep making decent content, which at the moment I’m not very inspired, but it is late in the day for inspiration, which usually strikes before noon. I just felt bad that my only post today was for raising funds, which I don’t like doing unless i’m desperate (I happen to be).
I want to report that the crazy roommate who was stressing me out all last week has not returned, and I hope will not return. The house is clean and quiet, and it’s much appreciated.
So, i’ll try again tomorrow, we’ll see if something better comes out.
Your contribution, no matter how big or small, can make a huge difference. A donation to my Ko-fi will help with some of the stress i’m under, which is definitely compounded by the fact that I only have 1 dollar to my name and not a lot of food to hold me until my stamps come in on the 14th:

For those who prefer to directly support my creative endeavors but aren’t comfortable with Ko-fi, I’ve created an Amazon wishlist! This way, you can help me get the tools I need to keep creating.
