I told my landlord I would have rent by Monday because I figured I could sell 60 coloring page sets with 6k people in town, and if not that - then at least a few discounted pawtraits - and if not that, then maybe just my prints or artwork...but NADA.
I don't want to send these emails - I don't even know if it is really doing anything - no one has taken any direct action from these emails.
I am sounding like a desperate broken-record, and I truly hate this.
I know my work is good, I know my workshops I offer are worth it, I know my portrait work is better than the price I am offering.
So? What do I do? Where do I turn? I have no family, as I washed my hands of them after realizing they voted for Chump in 2016 - and have not spoken to them since. It was a long time coming.
I have no "besties" that will come through in a pinch for me, and with all this struggle - I think I have worn out my welcome to those that HAVE donated, more than once.
This is what I never wanted. I want to just provide what I provide, and live happily from making money off of it. I don't want donations, but at the same time I have my landlord knocking on my door at 815 last night after calling 3x.
I cannot stress how urgent this is. We are month to month - if they want to kick us out, they can. PLEASE.
SOMEONE, we need $900 by today or tomorrow at least, I am not sure how much longer I can stall - it was due on the 24th.
2 portrait sales can provide that.
9 donations of $100 can provide that.
I will exchange art! Let's chat!
There are so many ways for me to raise this money, yet I cannot get any sales...from workshops, to artwork, to coloring pages, and prints.....what is wrong with my work?? I must know. Because I cannot keep struggling like this. It's not okay.
I know my worth, and I wish others did too.
Thank you for seeing me, and if you are able to help - I know it's messy outside, I know I am just another person struggling right now - but I have 3 dogs. And, it's been in the 90s, dry, and we cannot afford to live in my truck again. We are not moving again. I have moved my items at least 5 x since August.
My back is in real bad shape. Blaze still has face paralysis and we need to get her into the vet...like.
HELP.
