Donate to Making up lost wages after a string of hospitalizations..., organized by Nathan Sprayberry
Hi, I'm Nathan and I'm fundraising because Amanda, the love o… Nathan Sprayberry needs your support for Making up lost wages after a string of hospitalizations...
gofund.me
I know we're all stretched thin and trying to manage multiple disasters through mutual aid right now but if you have a few bucks left, my friend's medical horror keeps going and she hasn't gotten any donations in a couple weeks. She sure could use them. Please share

OH is that quoted bit the cause of the day's issues? Gosh, here's the real secret.
Many writers don't need to pretend that they make their money from the book; they do make their money from the books.
They're just poor. They make as much money as their neighbors who are CNAs or Walmart greeters. 🧵

i mean it's odd to say "tell us how you make your money" and then not actually let us respond, but
Hello, I make my money from writing books and through the kindness of people who bail me out of emergencies on ko-fi and kick in a few bucks a month on patreon
my biggest advance was $15k per book

Fun fact, you know how you can boil soapy water in your microwave to steam clean the inside?
If you leave it going too long, the steam builds up and goes off like a sudsy bomb, blowing the door open and scaring the dog.
Allegedly.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

Aside from the rest of his filmography, Udo Kier holds an indelible place in my heart for his role in Cigarette Burns and, even moreso, being part of the preroll on every single Masters of Horror DVD in my box set.
