So far here's what's happened to the businesses I have:
1. Lularoe - am on some sort of financial positivity (mostly or more like I bought from my store this month) so I can stay on their good side. I don't mind it I like the clothes and as long as there are good ones to buy I'll do this for the foreseeable future. I wish to ask more business to come along to browse but I've been a bit sidelined by sad thoughts. I have also been posting as much as I am able on social media. I've no real idea if there are any lookers and browsers. I don't have analytics on my online store either so i can't tell.
2. Thirty One Gifts - same here. I've bought from myself. Not too bad but I guess on my fixed income I might have to taper down the cost of buying from my store. Again have tried to do some posts on social media (FB and isntagram and twitter but Twitter is a mixed bag). I need a twitter account only for these businesses I think but Twitter might be disciplining me for this. They're all so into privacy and all that.
3. Mary Kay - my favorite thing now as I'm into makeup and skin care and I'd be good at being a consultant. I still have no money to buy what they want me to do - buy about 600 dollars worth of inventory above the starter kit I've received (spent 99 on it with some fees like tax). I have to wait for the post cards to arrive so I can send these off to friends and family, but I'm rather sad to think they've all abandoned me and won't care if I sent them a thing in the post. I'm thinking my FB page will carrry out some of this lack of custom due to my being someone not quite known and so if people are sick and tired of their own consultant they might try me for a change to help with their makeup needs. I am still needing to do more social media about Mary Kay.
I feel a bit inhibited from 'selling' my businesses on my personal FB page for the reason that i feel the other businesses will get jealous and tell me it's not a good thing to mix businesses on my personla FB page. So, I might just post on my business pages and that is all. I do like to post nice posts that have no real bearing on the busines but just to let them know I'm there and i've got my own persona and that is who they are buying from.
Sewing business isn't really moving but I don't care. I am still trying to get the courage to tackle the new sewing machine, if you can believe it. I don't know why it scares me but it does. I guess it's just that it's been years since I've used one. I might have some old devils who are keeping me from getting it running.
I do have the materiel to make at least two shirts with some designs on them.
4. Writing - I've been able to write a few paragraphs on one of the novels. I have started a screenplay of ODLT. Not a lot on that yet. Somehow writing the screenplay gives me a hung over feeling, haha. Not sure about this idea but I was posting on Loveable resident's FB group and I had the idea that people don't like the book nor care to buy it because it's about satan or some guy who looks like an innocent sort who's really a satan sort. So I had to defend my position why I wrote this book in the first place.
So here's what happened. In school, MFA, I was asked (general assignment) to look at this text to find a suitable 700 word assignment =- and one of the things in there was to write a story (short) about a person who is loveable but is a real rascal. I thought of this guy in my past life who I decided to (impishly of me) get into a scene where he gets himself into an 'existential hole' which he needed to get himself out of. So that was what I wrote in the first two chapters of Mike Oates' story. I had help from my Guardian Angel with this story, I might add, at least I think he told me to call this character Mike. I chose Oates as the last name because this guy was sowing his 'wild oats' in his young adult life and come to a situation where nobody could get him out of it unless he had to get on his knees figuratively or literaly to get him help. So I chose a childhood friend, Lauren Moore, who was a lawyer and daughter of a high powered lawyer named Jonathan Moore. This story progresses where Mike gets to try to find some sort of way out with Lauren and Jonathan's help. There is a plot twist and that includes some mob boss who is involved with Mike's former girlfriend (whom he ditches after he gets into a hot affair with Lauren Moore). There is all but the spoiler but it is what i decided to do.
i do not know whether I was completely in my God's guidance when I wrote this book. I am hoping that this will at least help to clarify what I was going through when this book happened. I somehow felt as though I wanted to put this past acquaintance in a twist or bind in my story because of what he was to me later - someone who made me feel sad and baldfaced told me that he was marrying someone else. I wanted this guy to die but I wanted to have the 'power' to get him out of his mess by putting him in the world I created for him. That is what writers and authors do for a living. They make a world, they populate it with characters and then they either kill them off or save them from perdition.
I don't know if that book will ever get any real audiences but I posted something in the FB group and some people liked it well enough. I posted on the topic of God's attributes. I think it might dispel this idea that I was an evil author and infuenced by some ghost or bad bastard or something like that in my work. The world seems bent on making me look and be and sound like someone else who's evil and that's not true. I'm good and I know that God loves me, and that Jesus loves me and my dad loves me and my father in Heaven loves me. I'm good to my pets and I give to charity and I've been decent to poeple even though they've been trashtalking about me in their lives. I am not one to be a person who'll tell someone off to their faces. I leave all these bad assholes to God.
So with this my writing will go on half assedly I guess. I will write but it's not that great to write a book and publish it (wiht whatever money I can scrape together) and the book not get any real looks or feedback. I'm told there are millions of writers in the world of Mazon books but Good Grief, I received good marks from my professors in MFA and had a good reference from them as well. So I don't know. The audience might be gone now and they've moved on to smoke pot, sniff coke and bury themselves in shit like no one can get out of. So I could say I might retire the pen or laptop someday if I'm persuaded there is no need for me to talk to or be a voice or even tell a story.
