Hey. I need a dollar a month from you and 300 of your closest friends.
It is to help me pay my mortgage. In return, I will give you something special.
Look, I’m already on my knees begging. Let’s not make it weird here.
I already had to stop taking meds. Special meds. Girly meds. I couldn’t afford them. I eat once a day. I have lights that are only on when I need them, and I do everything I can to keep my costs down.
I am job hunting, but I’m 52, a woman, trans, bisexual, and I haven’t been in the job market for about 10 years, although I’ve done direct service to over 5000 trans people and indirect services to far more over that same decade. I’ve written extensively on trans experiences, oppression, homelessness, substance abuse, and more, and had my husband not died on me I’d still be doing all of that.
I’m writing a story. It is about heroes facing an enormous evil, saving the world, girls with guns, people like the orange guy getting what they deserve, and women surviving hardship in a way that might make Angeline Jolie jealous.
It features a cast of five central characters who are European, African, Asian, Native, and Latina. There is one lesbian, two bi girls, one straight girl, and an asexual girl.
Hey. I told you. Don’t make this weird.
It’s a good story. Really. You’ll like it. It is fun to read. It will make you laugh. It will make you want to get a big ole staff.
But I need a dollar a month from 300 people to keep my home.
I’ve tugged on your heart strings and you gotta wonder if this is worth it.
It is. You see, I’ve given away a third of the book for free. The first ten chapters. You can read them yourself. Right now.

if that doesn’t work, try this one:

Please do. Come back and tell me how terrible it is if you must, but do try and add some constructive criticism. Like a lot of authors, I’m writing to survive. It’s like Edgar Rice Burroughs. That kind of thing.
But if you don’t like it, spread the word. Tell your friends. Please! I really am only asking for a little bit. And I need to reach as many people as possible.
Let them read the chapters. Then see if they will spread the word.
Because I need 300 people to go here and become patrons. Like in the olden days. Da Vinci and all that.

Now, if you wanna make it weird, you can. But it’ll cost ya 25,000 dollars, and you’ll have a kept girlfriend after about six months.
But this is cheaper. And I can get off my knees and keep my house.
