Friends, March was a lot.
April is already set up to be even more.
At this point, everyone I know is trying to figure out how they’re going to handle the COVID-19 crisis. Routines have been… rerouted. A lot of folks have lost their jobs, including… me. If y’all remember, at the start of March, my one boss was like “we’re downsizing and trying to save our skins so you’re getting cut”.
Well, it’s the start of April and my time (of unemployment, beyond some freelance article editing and uploading for them) has come.
As the job was the first time that I’d had reliable health insurance in four years and I was basically the breadwinner for my family… You bet I’m panicking.
But I’m trying to channel all of that nervous energy into a positive outlet… creating content and building my brand and audience further! Because writing is the one way I have been able to express myself and make money enough to live on to an extent!
So, barring any complications by the pandemic holding us frozen in our homes (those of us who are at home), here’s what’s on the schedule for April.
(I’ll obviously let y’all know if something catastrophic happens either with me/my family up here or with my dad because that’d clearly stop me from working to these scheduled goals.)
April 1 – this post & a repost of my “Hire the Stitch” link for folks at the $10 Tier on Patreon

I’m taking questions for my Blog Anniversary Special so if there’s something you want to have me answer, just leave it in the comments as a question and I’ll get to it in my video! (Please do this!)
I hope you’re all staying as safe as possible in these terrifying times! Things are scary and around the world, we’re seeing world leaders who literally can’t be bothered to pretend they don’t hate us. The US is in bad shape already, but so are other places. There are many places where the people in charge are just as ignorant and malicious as Trump is and I worry for all of us as this crisis escalates.
I hope April won’t be too bad, but… I’m already preparing myself for the worst and trying to make sure my family is as prepared as possible.
Know that I adore and appreciate every single one of y’all!
I don’t know what good praying will do, but you’d better believe I’ll be doing a ton of it… And if I can get a new job and financial security, I’ll try to help out in more tangible ways!
Stay safe everyone, and I hope we’ll all be in decent shape come May!
❤
