I am so tired of things going wrong.
Two of my Rx refilled today and the total taken out of my bank account is 2 digits longer than it usually would be. I am now in the negative again, and not happy about it.
I am so tired. So damn tired.

Okay… during the semesters if I can work 12 hours a week… that’s 40 bucks below my monthly expenditure…. Which means I’ll still have to go into debt to pay my tuition next semester cause I only have 4,000 bucks to my name and don’t work during the winter break…
But… it should be… better.
Sigh… I’m gonna ask my boss to give me as many hours as she can give me. Lol
But I know funding is tight… so we’ll see…
If I can work 14 a week I’ll have an extra 100 a month… which would seriously help. As that’s like almost two months rent total the two semesters.
I transfered my roommate the rent via bank account and he said "oh no" because I guess his checking account was already overdrawn even though he just got paid the other day.
Welp. Not my problem but definitely stressful.
Stock Market Is A Scam T-Shirt
There are many people out there who are not in the Stock Market because they believe it to be a scam…
What do you tell them?
Let's talk royalties...
Good morning! Who's ready for some infuriating numbers about audiobook sales?
In December I released His Secret Illuminations as an audiobook, after over six months of production that I paid for out of pocket. I released it on my website, through Findaway Voices, and on Audible. We're going to talk about the last one.
I just got my Audible earnings report and payout for the December sales of said audiobook. I sold 15 copies & made $186.98 in net sales. Sounds pretty good, right?
Hahahaha, it only sounds good. My actual royalties were $46.75. All the rest of that money went into Amazon's pockets.
I knew my Audible royalties would be pathetic going in, but I made the personal and political choice to do a non-exclusive release through Audible so I could sell my book elsewhere and do my tiny part to break their monopoly. (A non-exclusive release through Audible means I make 25% of the cover price in royalties instead of 40%.) I couldn't not release this book on Audible for the same reasons I couldn't not release the paperback and ebooks on Amazon: That's where people buy books. They own the market, and it sucks!
I understand why people buy through Audible, and I'm not blaming the consumer... But if those 15 sales had happened through my website? I would have made $348.45. Can you see what a difference that is for a self-published author who's working toward going full-time with writing? Can you see how that's better compensation for someone who has to do every single part of the process herself?
I would like to once again say, with my whole chest: Fuck Audible.
Anyway, here's my website if you want it: https://scarlettgaleauthor.com/shop

i don’t like making these posts on my main because i get really embarrassed asking but i need help right now. my mother has been in jail for a few months now and left me in charge of my 12 year old brother.
i’ve recently had to empty my bank account to pay for some bills and it led me to being overdrawn, which is something i can’t afford right now, as the bank is going to continue taking money and i can’t pay it right now.
i need financial assistance, specifically to pay for my anti-depressants, food, and arthritis medication as i don’t have insurance at the moment. if you can spare even 5 dollars or just a reblog i would be so thankful! if you want me to make you a special header or sidebar or gifset in exchange i’m willing to do that too!
here’s my paypal and cashapp and venmo
i also have a ko-fi
I checked and redid my budgeting again to prepare for what is likely going to be a frosty af winter with brutal and cruel utility bills, and anyway, I am... okay. But I probably would have been *more* okay if I had not done Something Bright this year and had instead done something that the more traditional m/m audiences want.
.... yeah there is a little dig in there with "more traditional m/m audiences"... yeah you know who it is aimed at.
I love Mattin and Arden and Mil, but I wrote them largely for that audience, which was a bit cynical of me, and I am likely going to have to do something like that again before I do anything else weird or experimental or... you know. Me.
Also a bit of a disappointment that people are not super into Ravenous/the Ring verse I guess without obvious monsterfucking. Which is not a judgment on monsterfuckers, more just me flailing around looking for another series to compete with the Beings and not finding one. (People like Familiar Spirits, but that like does not come close to the Beings love, which is either because of werewolves or dragons or because of.. idk... all the boning in Little Wolf. Yeah I said boning. Suck it, Nathaniel. (suck the boooone))
That is my year in review, a little early. But maybe I can get A Little Blessing out a little earlier, late November? And then instead of taking time off... hustle out something for January. idk.
