Milestone Goals
Hire a Copyeditor
When we reach $100 per month, I'll hire a copyeditor to give each story a once-over. Typos have indeed slipped through the cracks over the first seven months of this project, and it would be great to eliminate those before they're ever seen by the public. And though I won't be able to pay the copyeditor as much as I'd like once we reach this initial goal, it's my hope that we'll surpass this goal and I'll be able to allocate even more to the copyeditor as time goes on.

"I love short stories because I believe they are the way we live. They are what our friends tell us, in their pain and joy, their passion and rage, their yearning and their cry against injustice."

If you like my writing, and if you’d like me to write more, please consider sliding me a buck or three per month!
I’ll be posting new short fiction to my Website every day for FREE. You don't have to pay to get this stuff, but it would really help if you did. My family is deep in debt and I don’t make a full-time living as a teacher. I’ve tried taking on side jobs in the past, but I’ve never tried making this activity that I love the side job. That changes now. I might fail, and that's super-scary, but I have to try. And trying, that has me super-pumped. Here's more on why I decided to do this.
Who am I? In case you don't already know, here’s my bio. You can learn more about me here.
