I have been an independent writer for the greater part of my writing career. Just eight of my (so far) 30 years of writing have been spent in full time employment.

To write what I want, I have done all I can to remain independent/freelance. That is especially urgent today.
When we emerge from #COVID19 and as we assess the immense toll it has had on so many, I will continue being an independent writer.

When we talk about what we imagine ahead, I want to imagine a world beyond money. A world where “value” and “work/labour” are turned upside down.
Patreon might be the way to maintain my independence. My biggest concern has been keeping my writing as accessible as possible. Not everyone who follows me has a credit card/PayPal etc.

Pay-what-you-can might be the best way. Still considering. But the words in here want to fly
I’m considering it as the place where my words as well as videos could live together.
