That faint line of clouds above the horizon? That's what will bring us the weekend's weather. Assuming we get it, but currently, the forecast holds.

We need it desperately. The soil is the consistency of ash, and the air is so dry it's literally painful.

We need to make it rain in the other sense, too, this weekend. Because despite our recent sale a little over a week ago, this year has been so slow that we're way behind on everything, including prepaying next year's taxes [I've been able to prepay zero; a big fat zero]. Which means that I need to continue to bring in consistent sales to get that covered. Once that prepayment is handled, I can rest a little. But not now. I figure if I can bring in around $6K in sales between now and year's end, we'll be in halfway decent shape. But I have not been able to push sales like I need to be doing; my health has been too bad generally, but when I have only one partially-working hand with which to type, it becomes impossible. I'm a little better today, which means that I will by definition overdo it, but I need to bring in holiday sales now.

So I'll still be pushing them, if not with quite the same sense of desperation that has had me in a death-grip for most of the year. But I need to continue to bring in enough to get the taxes off my desk once and for all. I also need a lot of help to do it, because while my illness worsens, Wings is having to do everything else, and I am so incredibly slow and incompetent at everything now that I simply don't have the ability to run threads like I used to; I can barely get the daily minimum done anymore. I really need help. And, as always, all the links are listed below:

• Sales here; 
• Testimonials here; 
• Amazon wishlist here (liquid soaps are priority now [or Amazon cards, and I can order them myself]); 
• Patreon here;
• Ko-fi here.

There's lots of fabulous work on the site, and there will be much, much more in the weeks to come. The way this year has gone, things will still be grim for a good while and the holidays will be here before you know it, so please share all of the links.
