Okay, I had to laugh. I was reading
articles on Medium.com today. Lovely website. You get to meet lots of people
there, especially those interested in writing. The only downside is
that to be a member you need to pay $5 a month, or $50 for a year’s
subscription when you pay it all at once. I don’t mind doing it. I’ve been
there almost five years, and over time, I’ve earned some money on the platform.
However, in the last couple of years, they’ve had a huge management shakeup and
have created a better business plan for themselves, and consequently for their
members. How that worked for me is I now earn bupkus from them. Yes, I said bupkus.
If you want to look on the bright side, which I generally try to do, I am learning
as a writer. I’ve got a place to publish, and some people read what I write. What
used to be $20 a month has dwindled down to more like $1 a month in earnings.
I read
an article where the lady had a PayPal donation button at the end of her
article. The plea was to help her feed her cats. I can understand. We’ve got
three cats, and they do like to eat. In the past, I’ve posted a Buy Me a Coffee
link, which nobody ever clicked. I’ve been using PayPal for a gazillion years,
and I thought, “Hey, maybe.”
So, I went to PayPal to figure out how
to make a button. You could choose whether you wanted to have a campaign; say, if you needed an updated computer to write on, you could set a donation limit of $1,000 or whatever a new computer costs these days. Then I
happened to catch a YouTube short
of a lady with lots of teeth in her pictures. Granted, they are
nice-looking teeth, but wow, does she have a lot of them. Anyway, in her
YouTube short, she talked about how people who want to donate to you don’t
especially like to wade through a lot of complicated stuff. She inferred that this
happens with PayPal. Also, there are fees involved. Always. Hey, that’s what
banks do.
So she recommended that people use
something called DonorBox. I figured, why
not check it out? The one thing with me using PayPal was that I established the
account back in the day when I was going by LadySkyeFyre. In those days, nobody
used their real names on the Internet. I adopted the name LadySkyeFyre after
everybody who read what I wrote under my original fake nickname thought I was a
man. It was a combination of my initials: PEV. Also, LadySkyeFyre was a sort of
a take on the stones I was using at the time to learn how to be a psychic
channel. Moldavite, horribly expensive now, looks like somebody smashed up an
old green Coca-Cola bottle. It is an asteroid that fell to Earth a gazillion
years ago. As the asteroid fell through the Earth’s atmosphere, it burned up;
consequently, it looks like green glass. That asteroid scattered itself over what
are now Czechoslovakian potato fields. It is called an outer space stone, a channeling stone, or a stone of transformation, and
if you are quiet enough, you can feel it vibrating in your hand. It is supposed
to help you make contact with celestial beings. I used it to try to make a
connection with my Spirit Guide. Did it work? Well, I’m channeling now. Maybe it
did.
So, my nickname came from that stone. It
fell through the sky and burned up as it did. LadySkyeFyre.
By the way, I gave one of my pieces of
moldavite who reported back to me the next day she’d had four orgasms in her
sleep. Who can argue with that? That never happened to me, but I use that story
to establish credibility for the stone.
The problem is that whenever I use my PayPal account, it shows my old name, LadySkyeFyre, and nobody knows my real
name, Pauline Evanosky. Consequently, there might be some confusion.
So, on I went over to DonorBox to check
them out. That’s where I laughed because they were referring to donations made
to non-profits. The only way I qualify as a non-profit is because I don’t make
any money. Now, I’m not going to go through the legal process of becoming a
legitimate non-profit. My husband did that when he and his boss went through
all the legal hoops of doing that with The
Alameda Post, an online newspaper in Alameda. Besides, I hope someday to
earn some money with my writing.
However, you don’t make money unless you
ask for it. For me, that will likely be an incentive to get something published
this year.
Thanks for reading. I appreciate the
support. I’ve listed a bunch of places where I am on the internet. And I did
it: Donate
