My love leaks out of me

Like a sieve

Grotesque 

Off putting. 

I've gotten better 

at hiding it over the years. 

So instead it aches inside me 

like a beating drum.

But those who get close

Can smell it

Meat gone too long

Slickly sweet and off

And they turn away

From the love

Both too much

And not enough

at once.

I'm gonna be real folks! It's been a rough year, I've not grown nearly as much as I needed to pay my bills. This means I have to take time away from writing and producing to do freelance work which is draining and inconsistent.

Please please please consider joining my patreon, I have a $1 tier which means if miraculously 500 people signed up to support me for $12/year I'd be breaking even on my finances every month.

Here's a link to my linktree which connects not only to my patreon, but to my beta/sensitivity reading services, my merch, and where to buy my novella.

Thanks for reading, I love you.

Image description beneath the cut.

On picture two there is a selfie of a nonbinary person flashing the peace sign and the words "bisexual nonbinary hot mess". On picture three the text reads "I need $500 more/month to pay my bills. Click the linktree in my bio and head to my patreon where I create my space western podcast: Tales From The Ridge. I have a $1/month tier, that's $12 for a whole year of content". Image Four reads "Thanks, I love you!". End Image Description]

I'm looking for Beta Readers for my manuscript "Familiars," inspired by 80s horror like The Shining and Rosemary's Baby. If you're interested, shoot me a message! Please boost!

Kitty rode a bus as far as the $40 in her pocket would take her to escape her ex-husband. She finds a sleepy college town where a charming brownstone apartment is in need of a caretaker. Amid fears that her ex may be stalking her, Kitty must grapple with her pregnancy and the sudden realization that she alone can see the ghosts that lurk in the empty apartments of Ivy View. Something sinister has found her, perhaps something both physical and metaphysical.

Listen I know it's just an algorithm based on genre but it's pretty awesome to see those podcasts recommended under mine 🥺
