Everything is shit.

On April 2, 2024 I sent out a newsletter asking people to send me questions. I promised to answer a question a week. I started this project for a couple of reasons. First off, I like helping people and I figured I could find out what was bugging people and maybe, just maybe, I’d be able to answer some of their questions and help out a little bit. That was the altruistic reason. 

The second reason is selfish. By 2024, I hadn’t been able to write in years. There were short bursts and false starts here and there, but I hadn’t written anything that felt worthwhile, and I was feeling lost. In a funk. And getting depressed about it. I’m a big believer that when you’re feeling lost, the best thing to do is to help others. Give yourself purpose. Help those around you, and you will eventually help yourself. So that’s what I did. I asked people if they needed help, I attempted to help them, and yeah… I did pull myself out of that funk. Also, having to do it every week helped to develop a habit. The best way to get better at something is to do it a lot.  

This book is a collection of those essays. They’re my stories, but they’re also your stories. I couldn’t have written them without you.

 

WHERE CAN I BUY IT?

You can buy it direct from us (if you want it signed) or, you can buy it online from your favorite retailer using the links right on this page. You can also walk into your local and ask them to order it, it’s in the Ingram database. You can even tell them how excellent it is and suggest they order a few to keep in stock.

Fuck amazon

I fell asleep while reading it.
