Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky

I feel super cringe for posting yet another self-hype blog, so I'm gonna borrow a bit of Tolkien's goodwill to get through it.

January 2, 2023. Three days. Peace.

Best,

The trick to effective self-promotion is to have no shame whatsoever. Pretend that you're a middle-aged burnout plodding inexorably towards your third divorce, working a dead-end job that you'll have to keep well past death, never mind retirement age, just to pay off all of your mounting debts, and your boss has just told you that you're being shifted over to commission work.

That should give you the mindset you need to put yourself out there. Or neck yourself, one of those two.

Ugh, too sad.

I'll just adopt the guise of a Karen, so self-absorbed and sure that the world revolves around me that I have no compunctions against against yelling at the baby-faced teen trying their best at their first summer job, because obviously, not getting perfectly cooked quinoa on my salad is their fault, and I'm about to make it everyone in earshot's problem.

Whoa there, Satan, dial back your evil a few notches. No matter what the situation or circumstances, going Karen is always the nuclear option.

Maybe split the difference between our respective ideas, and cast yourself as a fanfiction author with a middling fanbase who mostly does it for fun, but does have a Patreon that you shill for a side hustle because it's a decent way to handle a few bills.

... are you spying on me? You're spying on me, aren't you?
