Dust devils (and other, more dangerous devils, too). Patreon subscribers, sales, and shares desperately needed.

See that column of dust in the center? Click on the photo. You'll see the vortex at the base of it. That was yesterday. We had three or four on Sunday. Another one a half-hour ago some distance away, a much larger one yet.

Dust devils: This is what we have now. It's also a perfect metaphor for my life at the moment, caught in a vortex of illness and bills with no diagnosis and no way out. These are devils far more dangerous than a little dirt and wind. I will, I hope, have some new works by Wings to feature, either later today or tomorrow. For now, though, the rest is cut-and-paste, because I'm too physically exhausted, and my thoughts are too warped by stress, to write coherently right now.

I can't emphasize this enough; we need to bring in more scratch. We need to make sales; I need to bring in enough beyond that to free up Wings's studio time, of which he's had almost none for months now. I need subscribers to make this work, and I'm nowhere near hitting my first-level goal. It's not going to happen without help. I need folks to share the links. Not many times a day, just, you know, once every day or so. Endorsements and testimonials to the folks in your circles help, too. But I am at the end of my rope on the bills, and the pressure that has been sitting camped out in my chest since early November is now threatening to suffocate me completely. I mean that in literal terms, not figurative ones; the stress is aggravating my health so badly that the pain is a tangible thing. So please, please share the links:

• My new Patreon, The Interstices (Writing Between Worlds);
• Wings's site, for sales;
• Wings's direct PayPal link;
• A way to buy me coffee (which actually goes to all of our medical bills, which continue to mount; something over $300 for Wings this week, to say nothing of all my own);
• Amazon wishlist, which mostly consists of supplies for half-feral puppies;
• Partial registry #1, from Bed, Bath and Beyond. There are new kitchen-y things on it now, stuff that I didn't realize we'd need to replace (either because the RV ruined it or because we gave it away when we had to downsize).

As always, I have more writing, more editing, and more general work to do, as well as labor of a more physical sort, and I have to get back on it. Much gratitude to all of you, and please continue to share the links.
