It's Happening. (Patreon)

How do I find the words to describe something terrifying? and wonderful? and fragile? I don't know. So I'm just going to say it:

I'm quitting my day job. I'm going to do the job I love most, full time.

Many things need to happen first. And many additional jobs will be needed in order to make end's meat. But I'm sick of working for other people. I know I have what it takes to make this work. And if I don't? I'm employable. I have options - Amercorps is always recruiting ^_^

In my head I had always expected this process to begin when Alex was making a lot of money (har har) as a full time School Librarian (2, maybe 3 years from now). I saw myself working from home, while raising a child and tending the house. But the truth is I can't make it that long.

I am not yet prepared, as I write this. I don't think anything can truly prepare me. But I know this:

There's a lot of work ahead of me. Mistakes must be made. Tears must be shed. Lines must be drawn.

I realize this is all rather cryptic. But know that you're going to be reading (if you want) dozens of excited posts. Dragon Sword. Trans AF. Tha Oankali Talks. Freelancing. Teena Fitzroy's new comic. Emily in Space. There's so much on the horizon GAH I wish I could spill it all now!

But since I must eat breakfast, and then go grocery shopping.

I leave you with this.
