#polis433

I was bored today at work so I made a little book cover for one of my favorite fics out there, Polis 443 by @ecfandom. I hope you like it. It was fun to work on.

Six months after Clarke moves back to her tiny hometown to raise her two-year old toddler around what family she has left, she expects to do just that, and only that. She has two jobs; full time nurse, and full time single-mother. There's no time for anything else. Not even for the pretty firefighter who starts showing up unannounced at her home, looking for fires Clarke swears are a figment of everyone's imagination. That, or a faulty security panel with a direct emergency call button to the local fire station.

I’m sorry it’s been so long. I didn’t know if I’d ever make it back on here, to be honest. Life is so different than it was when I started this, but I’d always hoped to come back. I so rarely have the time, mental space, or energy to write, but I never stop thinking about this community and the stories we’ve told together.

Despite feeling really overwhelmed with life right now, necessity is forcing me back to writing.

I need to raise about $2,500 to cover an unexpected car repair bill and vet bill that hit at the same time. I work at a very small nonprofit that unfortunately doesn’t cover my expenses as it is, let alone two large, unexpected emergency expenses. I’m not going to be able to make ends meet this month as it stands, so I’m reluctantly asking for help.

If you have been along for the ride for a while, then you know that it is important to me to never put my work behind a paywall if I can avoid it. I’m at the point where I almost can’t avoid it, but I’m going to try. So here’s my plan:

My hope is to get two story updates out in the very near future: A Home Once Found and Polis 433, likely in that order.

If you’ve been on the Polis 433 journey with me, you probably know that I’d hoped to do a rewrite of Polis 433 to be more in alignment with my personal values and address some of the military and other aspects in the story that I don’t feel great about as I’ve grown as a person. I don’t have the time or energy for that right now, so I plan to update it as is with the caveat that I acknowledge it needs work and hope that you’ll stick with it as it evolves.

What I’m hoping by for in return, is that if you have the means, to consider donating to my emergency fundraiser for my dog’s vet bill and car repair cost here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=WNBUNMKTZYGL6

If you have any questions or just want to say hi, message me, I’d love to hear from you.
