i make no money. i’d like to change that. eventually.

It’s time to wake up. To get real. To get cookin. I’m almost thirty and I’ve chosen a future for myself that is nearly impossible to achieve, especially at the rate I’m going. I tell myself that I will be a famous light verse poet one day. But nobody cares about poetry, let alone light verse. So if I want to bring back the medium in a big way, then I need to kick it in to high gear. I’ve been making youtube videos for a few months now, but that isn’t enough. I’m revamping my long forgotten website that I pay basically $300 a year for and allowing free downloads of my work, in Zine form. Small books you can print and fold yourself. If people are so inclined to pay for them, they may name their own price. But for now, my focus is growing an audience., not the money. I’m a substitue teacher right now, so money is no object.

And who am I writing this for? Me, I guess. I need to hold myself accountable. I can’t keep putting my dreams on hold. I owe this to myself and to anyone who has ever supported me. Writing this down makes it real. And like I said, it’s time to get that... “real,” that is.
