So, I'm thinking about offering signed copies of my The Ones Left Behind for sale online. But because I don't have a website, or the money to get one started, I'm wondering a couple of things. First, is there any interest? And second, where could I do this? If anyone has any experience with this sort of thing, I'd appreciate any input you might have.
Didn't I?
Sorry about that. There's a lot that was, and still is, happening. It gets overwhelming. My brother and his kids moved back in, as I mentioned before. The clutter and extra noise and drama... it's an ordeal. And I had to clean out my old room, something I've been putting off for years, so that my nephew can have a room. In doing...

I get that it's kind of how it works in cases like mine. But I feel like I've become more autistic since finding out that I'm autistic. That might not make sense to a lot of you. But I know a few of you probably know what I mean. It's kind of frustrating, to be perfectly honest. But I'm working on things. I just did...

I seriously can't win with this fucking autism. When my brother and the kids moved out a year ago, I was kind of devastated. First, I was going to miss the kids. Second, my routines went to shit after that drastic change.
Now, a year later, they just moved back in. I should be happy. But I got so used to the routine after they...

Have you all seen this movie yet? I was a bit curious about it after someone posted about it in a forum for the game Stray (amazing game, by the way). Then someone on threads posted about it, and I decided to give it a watch.
There is no dialogue, only animal sounds. But somehow they still tell this amazing story of survival and camaraderie....

...if this will come back to bite me in the ass.
I'm trying to keep my mother out of my life. Not entirely no contact, but as close as I can manage without drawing suspicion. Basic reason? Nobody needs a toxic narcissist in their life. Especially when distancing yourself from them helps the healing.
But my new situation of trying to generate a social media...

Just got an email from Amazon about an impending royalty payment. It was a bit different from previous ones, so I looked some stuff up. I think what it's saying is that somebody in Japan bought my book. That's fucking cool. Now my book has sold in five different countries.
How the hell did someone in Japan find my book?
I mentioned that I was pretty sure I was shadowbanned because all my posts were being seen by maybe a dozen people this weekend. I laid low for a couple days, and my first post back reached 4,240 views in less than 24 hours. I seriously hate social media.
Still hoping for any help you can give me promoting my book, you know, if you...

Or hype woman. Or hype person.
I'm feeling extra distraught about the state of book sales after two months of managing 2 or 3 per month. But that's what I'm here for today. No, not to harass you into buying it (though I wouldn't be mad if you did). Instead, I'm here to ask for help.
I know I've asked before, but I really should...

Soooooo.... Turns out shadow bans are a real thing. My posts on threads usually get at least 50-100 views or more (sometimes in the thousands). I get comments to posts, responses to comments that I leave, all that jazz. But ever since last week, my view have dropped drastically and nobody seems to be seeing my posts or comments. 9 views in 9 hours is...

You guys are aware that you probably get the most unfiltered version of me, right? Sometimes that might be cool. You get to hear some crazy shit. But more often than not you get my last blog. Sorry about that. And sorry about taking so long to respond.
This whole situation I'm in is incredibly new to me. Marketing something that I put so much...

Maybe it's time I just gave up. Nothing is changing. No progress. It feels like I'm bashing my fucking head into a wall. Maybe I was wrong about that option no longer being viable. Don't mind me. Just letting the weight of everything suffocate me again. How is it this easy to feel so isolated? It's a constant struggle. That nagging fucking voice in the...
