I am finally beginning to round the corner!

I had to fix some issues that James’ desktop computer had begun to give me, and part of those issues had to do with wiring that needed to be replaced and rerouted, so… here we are. I’m preparing to backdate the last few days’ worth of posts into this journal and call it a day. But my son’s computer is back to functioning as it should be, even though I’m having to re-download all of his Steam games since Steam got stuck on a loading loop. Given how many games my son owns this has and is going to be annoying until all of them are reinstalled back onto the computer, but my kid is happy to simply have his games back at his fingertips so…

I’ve been looking into freelance writing.

When I was getting my college degree, freelance writing was something that I dabbled in for quite some time… although it seems like the landscape of the Internet has changed so much since then that it’s no longer as viable of a side hustle as it used to be in the early 2000s. Since I have a lot of good memories of doing it around my college coursework, I’ve been putting pitches out to blog advertising and freelance websites that continue to be up in the hopes that I can get some of the individuals working for them to contact me back regarding my inquiries. As aware as I am that “mommy bloggers” have since become content creators and influencers, I would like to continue doing it so that any money generated from it can be put into savings accounts for my family. I haven’t quite decided how I am going to invest money made from content creation and livestreaming, but at this point any money that I can make working from home would be good money since it would allow me to supplement our existing streams of income and better meet my children’s needs.

There is one site in particular that seems to continue to be up, and I have reached out to them a few times now hoping for some kind of response. I’m not sure how active the site is on the face of things since I can’t see very much on the site aside from the actual site and ways to register on it, but I have put out feelers toward that site in particular hoping that my persistence pays off and someone working for the site responds to my inquiries. If they see this post of mine and decide to pick me up that would be amazing!

Maybe I should have realized this sooner.

It’s starting to get to the point where I feel like esports organizations (“esports orgs”) are holding me back from accomplishing some of the goals I’ve set out to do as I livestream. I can’t even begin to articulate in here how long I’ve waited for just one of these organizations to create a content house, and that’s been a big thing of mine for quite some time now. I’m also getting sick and tired of the drama that comes part and parcel with so many of these organizations if you get me. Like no, I won’t date you. I am too busy mourning the life that I never got to have with my husband because a drunk driver killed him. And besides, I just won’t.
