Welcome to The Indolent Spinster Weekly Report #3! This week....Things are moving along as I try and find income streams through work, art and life, and figure out how to make enough money to eke out a living without further massive debt, maybe even the ability to pay that debt down a bit. This seems reasonable to me. Had to take our kitty cat (who by the way has her own calendar for 2018 called “A Year of Missy The Cat”... see, right here. which you can buy at my etsy store. the address to which is scrolling along the bottom of the screen right now see.... (pointing) ) to the vet as she had been having vertigo and vomiting issues lately. Turns out she has hyperthyroid. Got her on some pills, more testing in a month, hopefully the pills are all the help she needs. She hasn’t had any symptoms since the vet, so. here’s hoping for her best recovery. I can’t afford to spend a fortune on my own health, let alone a kitty in the mix, luckily my room mate has been very generous in co...

Welcome to The Indolent Spinster Weekly Report, Episode #2! This week things have shifted seismically in Spinster-land, at least in my cozy cat hair matted corner of Spinster World. I’m trying to keep these videos reasonably short, so let’s dive right in. I did not get into that self employment course. My debt load has overcome my current income. My credit payments were deemed to much for my budget whilst going to school despite my pretty good budget i gave them. giving me $1200 a month on ei actually would have rounded me up to being able to survive, with say the same average amount of freelance work/sales of art that I have been making.  But well, that’s not happening, and I am tired of fussing and talking about it so instead, I’m gonna give you the promised preview of my new Zine, so similarly named as this video blog: The Indolent Spinster Quarterly.  As you can see scanning the cover scrolling up the screen right now, I will have some Strawgi...

A quick Video poem i whipped up over  the last couple of days, using Public Domain home movies from The Prelinger Archives, (internetarchive.org) Music I made this afternoon on my ipad, and a Poem I wrote ages ago, about me and a gal i dated, when I told her I was trans she ghosted me , long before that term ever was a thing. no closure but the poem, and the video poem.

Hey there folks who still read blogs occasionally. I know I said I was going video blog, mostly. but here is a quick post to flog my new short story, the first in what I hope to be a year long series. Last year I wrote a short character backstory for a tabletop RPG that never materialized as an actual game. But I loved the character i came up with, and the short scene really nagged at me to be expanded. I came up with over the last year about a dozen or more ideas for this character, and her universe. Her name is Moira D'Arc, and she's a Homicide Cop who finds comes into supernatural abilities at her 45th birthday party while a haunted male stripper is swinging his bits in her face. Then things get weird. https://read.amazon.ca/kp/embed?asin=B01MRKHRDB&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_LU1lybZA11757 I hope to be able to sell a few copies of each story every month, building some readership, and eventually serializing all my unfinished novels...
