Such is the way of things. I hate to do it, because I know money’s tight for a lot of people right now. But being an adult is about doing not-fun things, even if they’re not particularly onerous not-fun things. Actually… especially if they’re not particularly onerous, just mildly degrading to one’s dignity. Sometimes you just have to suck it up.
Anyway: want to support my writing? One easy way is to join my Patreon! I have one tier: $1/month. You can give more, but that’s the tier. You sign up for that, and you get access to my weekly microfiction, monthly short stories and TT RPG material, and whatever else I put up there (I often put up larger bits of the WiP for my current novel). It’s one of the best ways to make sure I can keep writing novels, which I think is in everybody’s best long-term interests, right? Right.
Right? Of course right.
