State Of Resolve: Looks Like We Made It · 7:23am Apr 20th, 2019
Hey again. So, good news all around this time. Thanks to some wonderfully generous souls, I got rid of all the abusive loans and have achieved some sense of normalcy again. I can't thank you all enough for your help, from those who donated to those who spread the word, even knowing people cared was humbling and reassuring.
You never really know what will happen in such a situation. It's a difficult thing, admitting you've stepped in quicksand and cannot climb out without help. Part of me says I deserve to drown, but I can only thank you all for extending a hand when I reached out in my desperation. I'll try to be worthy of it.
I think all that anyone ask is you keep up the good work.
Do you have a support link where I don't need to log into PayPal to send some your way? I hate PayPal enough to not want an account with them.
5046776 Paypal doesn't require you have an account, just that I have one. This link is set up for me to receive payments. I did meet my goal of paying off the loans, but... if you still want to send help along I won't deny we could use a bit for groceries/medications. I already felt bad enough asking people to help as much as I did...
Whoo! :D

Yeah, it takes me to the Login page each time - I only have the option to log in or create an account. T_T
I'm glad you've met your goal, but I did mention I'd send some your way, and it feels like I'd be breaking a promise, especially after having read all of that wonderful nonsense you publish. ;)
Also, own it. Don't feel bad about it - use it. Look at it this way: your stories have contributed to our lives as well. I know they've taken some of my days and nights. So...

You can just send it via email. steelresolvefimfic@gmail.com. PayPal will allow money to be sent that way as well.
Oh, I see. Scroll down a bit. It has my name , and amount you want to send.

Meh, it wanted me to log in after I selected the amount - I don't think PayPal allows you to send money internationally w/o an account.
But meh, turned out I still had an old account for Patreon stuff (must've forgotten it existed), so I used that.
May this go towards your peace of mind, even if just a little, so that you can use that wonderful brain of yours for romance and intrigue, for our reading benefit. ;]
I'm glad you're out of it, and glad we could help ^^
I'm glad to see you're out of danger. And I think the fact that you dislike stepping up and asking for help proves that you're not vain enough to abuse the kindness shown to you, so that makes it totally okay to step up when it's needed and ask for a helping hand. Too few people can do that without becoming... jaded isn't the right word, but they can start to abuse the kindness of others and rely on them to help pave their way.
You aren't that type of person. It was an honor to help you get back on your feet; as I've said, I respect your work and all you do for this community of writers and artists. Keep doing what you do; like 5046774 said, that's all we really ask.
