Never enough time (or anything else). Subscribers, sales, and shares needed very badly now.

This is the kind of stuff he does in between work with the animals and in the studio. Me? I spent my day turning out 5,600+ words, to what will likely be little effect. He also managed to produce five new milled ingot cuffs; I've gotten photos, but I'm not sure I'll have them posted yet tonight. I have to try, though, because one of the girls goes in bright and early tomorrow to get fixed, and Wings has a follow-up with our doc tomorrow afternoon. I will have next to no time tomorrow for anything, unfortunately

Which is a problem, because I need to chase sales, and I need to chase subscribers, and I need to bring in a whole hell of a lot more money to get these goddamned collectors off my back. The economy here is absolute crap; for Natives, it's far worse. Our sales have been tanked since last fall; our holiday season was almost nonexistent, and it hasn't improved since. On top of it all, my health problems are not improving, and I'm stuck in a holding pattern for the moment on testing. With my luck, they'll probably find whatever it is in the autopsy.

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; another almost $400 for Wings this week);
• 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.
