I went over to Ingramspark with my anthology because Amazon sucks and will not let me change my phone number. I called customer service (I was polite I'm not a Karen okay) and they said they'd email me. Hello? That was a week ago! Anyway I'm published now! Ingramspark distributes your book to various platforms, one of them Amazon and a few others I don't remember. It wasn't intuitive for me but I got it figured out how the process is essentially. I'm officially an author in the sense that I have the chance to make money off of my work. Lord knows I need it! I'll share my anthology when it hits the stores. Could be a few weeks. Yay! :)

I'm gonna try something really stupid. I'm gonna take one of my short stories, and try publishing it on Amazon for dirt cheap and see what it does.

@JankyFluffy Nice! I hope you are at least getting something for them. What I've decided to do, is take all my old short stories and create an anthology out of them. Could probably sell it for a buck fifty. Lol

@bosandaros Hope it goes well. 
            My short stories aren't big sellers, but it's good to have them on Amazon.  Though, I hear volume helps.

You know a wacky idea for a story would be about someone with no idea how to drive getting behind the wheel of a delivery truck. Aka literally my life if I get this job. What a learning curve! I still have to get my license, and insurance, and I still have to pray to whatever fucked up deity have you that I don't kill the nearest living thing on the road. Necessity is life's greatest driver!

It's been one month searching for an entry level job. For every twenty applications I send I get two interviews and both are rejections. I'm starting to get depressed. I'm trying Upwork, but I don't know where it'll lead. I'm so tired. I literally feel like I can't unclench until I get a source of income, just something. My life feels like it's circling the drain.

@bosandaros I really hope it works out.

Just had a thought, something occurred to me. The only time I was able to finish a longer story was when I had a cowriter. So I think it's logical to reach out to people to collaborate with. I'm wondering now how writers split their profits. I bet I could find people on like Fivver or something.

Just bought multivitamins for my dogs. I paid double for shipping. I don't care. I am so fucking sick of not being able to care for them. Fuck me honestly. I want to go back in time and kick my dad's ass for begging my mom for them even when she said absolutely not and then doing nothing to care for them.
          
          I want to line up every single person who got a puppy because they thought it was cute and then do fuck all to care for them or then outright abandon them and kick them square in their cunt and or balls.
