My health problems take up a lot of my time because I have: Bipolar Type 1, Gasteroparesis (severe), and complex PTSD among other things. But I don't let illness define my life. My children and my partner define it every day and one day soon I hope to be a published (paid) author!!

HELP!!

POSTING ON THIS BLOG TOO. IF YOU HAVE $1 TO SPARE PLEASE HIT THE DONATE BUTTON TO PAY ME VIA PAYPAL OR A METHOD OF YOUR CHOICE. MY HEALTH HAS GONE DOWNHILL QUICKLY AND I EVEN HAVE A CANCER SCARE RIGHT NOW. ONLY WORKS ON THE DESKTOP VERSION, NOT MOBILE. THANK YOU! :)



Here is my incredible Uber Driver, Ludo! We had to get the car because I got drugged in the ER and couldn't go home alone. And he was so kind and caring and patient and waited for me to get out of my wheelchair to stand up. We're gonna save the world together! ;)

WE DID ITπŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—

Folis: we have done it! I’ve gone truly, officially viral! Let the sponsorships begin! My first hope is that me and my neighbor Leslie get enough money to build next door mansions. We can bust trump together!

ADSENSE

Adsense, I don't know what else I can do for you other than hope a real human being reads this. I would like to submit my blog, without-a-compass.blogspot.com for adsense. But I thought I would be posting more on this site. As it turns out, I've been using without a compass exclusively. I keep getting told I have "no content" but there's plenty of content at without a compass. Thank you again for considering me and I will not give up!!

"Confidential" To Google AdSense:

If you are seeing this, you have found my application for AdSense. I did not get approved for good reason: "No Content". However, I would like to submit my other blog, without-a-compass.blogspot.com for consideration in AdSense. When I put in my application I thought I would be writing on it all the time but my health has only allowed me to use my long-time, much more popular old blog. Thank you for your consideration. -Erin A.

Still Here!!

Hi everyone! I have not given up on writing, not by any stretch! But I have been busy with graduation season spending time at my kids' school (my daughter had her last day of Elementary School and my son his last day of Kindergarten!) and waiting around for important appointments. I would like to invite you over to my other blog, without-a-compass.blogspot.com, for updates. πŸ˜€

Great Day

I haven't had time for any children's book writing, but I would like to invite you to read my other blog, Without a Compass. It's the one where I share about my day to day life and I plan to save this one for any and all Mission: Book Publishing happens. Thanks for reading. :)

Just a quick update. The next book I have planned will be Kindergarten level. I may even do a few versions to make leveled readers for all K-aged kids. But before I can do that I must have hip surgery. It's not scheduled yet, but I expect it to be within the next month. I likely will even get to stay in my own hometown to do it. I picture myself doing my PT exercises and then spending the rest of the day happily in front of my laptop doing what I'm doing now and writing, writing, writing. I even got a great lead for a publisher who is willing to give me advice, a little copy editing, etc. for FREE! It' pays to have writer friends. My best writer friend at the moment TC hooked me up and even believes in me enough to think that I won't have to self-publish a book. That feels good.
The picture above is me in front of the shelves that *I* got to clean and organize. I had to have a lidocaine/steroid shot in my hip to make sure that the pain is coming from the labral tear which is what surgery would repair. It only lasted one day but I WAS UPRIGHT! All day out of my wheelchair. I have never felt taller. I was towering over my own kitchen cleaning and listening to music. It was wonderful to have the taste of a "normal" day and a few months from now, I hope those days will be endless!
Also my Partner CB had an excellent interview today for what will be a great job, but unfortunately the boss man is waiting for someone who's about to put in their notice to leave. But he's got other leads for temporary stuff. Luckily my health has held out since I got back from St. Louis a couple weeks ago so I'm not longer in constant fear that any job he starts he will only lose because he has to stay home and take care of me. Happiness abounds!

(Also I've added my GoFundMe link to the right-hand column. I am still a "professional patient" with lots of out-of-pocket costs for the time being. If you can donate thank you so much; but a share on your social media page of choice is also quite helpful. Thank you!)
