Patreon/Blog Update

 I've been reorganizing my Patreon recently and have decided that I'll be making a tier specifically dedicated to miniseries. I know that $40 is a lot, but miniseries take a lot of work. There's researching, outlining, creating characters, drafting, editing, rewriting, and time needed that has to be done for each part of the miniseries. Thus after the "Inquiring, Cheshire Cat" miniseries, I'll only focus on single post poetry/writing prompts and not multiple part miniseries until there are patrons for this new tier. I also revamped the $10 tier and made it be 750-word flash fiction challenge for those who want a flash fiction longer than 100 words. I'll be posting tier-specific polls soon for anyone who wants to become a patron of that tier. I hope to have you all along for the ride as I move forward with writing.

If you would like to support me become a patron on my Patreon and buy "Living Day by Day: A Collection of Poems".

Patreon Request 10: The Life of a Sphinx

 If you would like to support me and my work become a patron of my Patreon. Don't forget to buy my poetry book "Living Day by Day: A Collection of Poems" on Amazon and leave a review.

    Perfectly perched on the rust color sand, lays a Sphinx. Its claws trim, but paws are ready to bat away any annoyance. Its large eyes track anyone who dares to come close. The Sphinx's tail flutters back and forth. Its' skin smooth by billions of grains of sand. A proud smirk graces the Sphinx's face taunting those beneath it. There are days when foolish humans dare to challenge the Sphinx. Unchecked arrogance is their fault, leaving only bones behind. With a laugh, the Sphinx concludes its day with a purr of satisfaction. Life is a joy when you're a Sphinx. End.

Learning To Stand Collection Announcement

 2020 was an exhausting year for everyone. And while 2021 isn't going to be easy, I feel like it's going to go better than last year. I was planning on making a second poetry book, but I'm putting that plan on the back burner. Instead, this year I'm making a collection book. I thought about creating a collection book before but didn't know if I had enough material to make one. But at this point in my blog, I believe I do. All the poems and short stories on "Learning To Stand" plus the poems and short stories on Patreon will be in this collection. That means only this digest will have full access to everything. If you're interested in having my current portfolio, purchasing this book will be a good investment.

Older stories and poems will be revamped since I've matured in my writing skills. Any rewrites won't be available on "Learning To Stand" or Patreon. I hope to be working on this digest once the "Inquiring, Cheshire Cat" short story miniseries are finished. As I'm going to be focusing on workshopping this compilation, I won't be posting new poems or short stories. I will be posting regular updates on the collection. Maybe even some diary-like entries. Naturally, none of these posts will be a part of the anthology. Updates will be posted on Patreon first, then on "Learning To Stand" so be sure to become a patron. I appreciate it if you become a patron and buy "Living Day by Day: A Collection of Poems" if you can.
