Please just tell me what you want. by Irbis

Please. I don't want fame or riches, I just want to write my poetry and have a few people read it.

So just tell me, furry community, what it is I have to do to get just a little bit of support so I can be free of my job and write for you.

Should I be writing more furry porn? Should I be more artistic with it? Do I need a good sob story for why I can't handle working? Just tell me what you want and I'll do what I can to fulfill it.

I'm a pretty shitty failure of a human being who can't handle regular jobs without becoming angry and bitter and all I want is to make pretty things and make just a little bit of money. Even just a little bit would be fine. I just need enough that I can pay my student loans and then I can mooch off of my loved ones like the shitheap I am.

Please, just tell me what you want.

Please just tell me what you want.

    hugs tightly If I had money, I'd be happy to, but I rarely have any extra. ::(

      I understand. I just. I just want to know how to convince people that I'm worth $1 a month. If I could just convince 100 people that I'm worth $1 a month...

        I'd give you a dollar a month if I could convince my mate. I mean, I could afford that. But legally he controls all the money, and he rarely even lets me get commissions.

          It's a rainstorm/drop problem. I need 100s of little drops over time, not like, 1 big donation. But like, I can't be too mad at any one drop for being there or not being there.

            I know. I really hope you get enough.

    If you're literally not even making $1600/mo AND being kept with a ball and chain, quit your job in the most destructive, disruptive, belligerent way possible. A freaking temp agency can treat you better than that! I say this because convincing people you're worth it means, beyond anything else, getting your work out there. If it's not 'your work' from the second it comes out of the pen, you're in a catch-22 you really don't wanna be in.

      I make $845 a month right now. I can't afford to leave unless I have something coming in though. I have financial responsibilities (loans and a mate). Though, I do I have 30 poems up at the moment. I'm trying to create some 'enhanced' ones that will look nice and maybe attract some more eyeballs.

      If you don't mind me asking, have you read any of them? Do you think they're worthwhile?
