I wish I could impress upon clients the importance of sending your shit on time and paying on time. As a freelancer, and you probably already know this, there is a date by which a client’s money is worth $0, and that date is as soon as you realize that they’re money won’t cover X bill. I have two clients that are regularly late. I literally have these two clients listed on a calendar with the dates they must have their articles to me, and the dates by which they MUST pay. If they miss those dates, I mentally write off the money and start re-earning it. I don’t know if they think they’re being cute by creating drama or think they’re holding this money over my head because if I’m desperate I’ll do their shit faster. It’s the exact opposite.

I am sick and fucking tired of signing up for accounts to do certain things, and those website are anywhere from 50 percent to 75 percent BROKEN. Take your fucking upgrades and features and shove them up your tail end without lube. I’m tired of it. It ends up wasting a whole lot of my time that I can’t bill for. That’s right. You wasted my time, and YOU want ME to PAY you for it. I don’t think so. If anything, I should be sending you a bill.
Mail Chimp
This was bought by a financial institution at some point, and you can tell. It’s more broken than ever. A couple years ago, 98 percent of what you saw in your account worked. There were a couple hiccups that were annoying, but not overly so. Mostly, there were just templates you couldn’t use, and you were limited to X number of subscribers. That’s perfectly reasonable. Today, 75 percent of that website is broken.

With the temperatures heating up, you may be ready to spend some time in your personal outdoor above ground or in-ground pool, and if you have one, you’re doing better than me. Writers can’t afford pools in their backyards, at least, we can’t afford houses with ready-to-go pools in our backyards. We might be able to afford a fixer-upper that needs a complete pool overhaul…. But anyway, I think we can all agree that lounging by the pool is a great way to relax and unwind and enjoy a book, like The Tiny Vampire From Outer Space That’s Bitey XIV: Vampire Vacation.
But Before You get in the Pool, Make Sure It’s Ready
If you live in a colder climate, like Indiana, you’re probably just now unwrapping your pool from the winter or at least, thinking about it. It’s still cold up here. It’s June 2, 2024, and the outside temperature is 68 degree. It’s cloudy and raining. Not a good day to go swimming up here, but it is a good day to start thinking about unwrapping your pool for the summer, cleaning it and getting it properly sanitized.

So, you’re a writer, and maybe you spend a lot of time indoors. I spend a lot of time indoors. In fact, I probably spend too much time indoors. I work from home. I write for a living, and I rarely go outside, but I do like gardening, and I like growing my own vegetables, and I’ve done it in the past. I’m not doing it this year, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it this year.

Are you an author who likes a little background noise while you write? Background noise can be anything. It can be music, podcasts, random videos on Youtube, audiobooks or TV channels played by AMazin Fire TV or Roku or another device. I've tried both Amazon Fire TV and Roku, and I'll explain why I left Roku for Amazon TV after many years, and why it only took me four months to go back to the Roku to spite the fact that Roku has security issues and legal issues.
