Who Wants to Fund My Kickstarter?

Please make checks payable to…
Not really. I’m not doing a kickstarter. I’d like to do one for a nanny though. Anyone wanna come take care of my kids so I can get this stupid book finished? I’ll pay you in copies of my mediocre mommy memoir and Goldfish crackers. And maybe some fruit snacks if my kids don’t locate them with their toddler sonar.
It is a weird thing to think about though. Anyone who wants to do anything — like make potato salad — can just throw up a page and wait for the dough to come pouring in. But if you’re putting dough in your potato salad I think you might be doing it wrong.
I don’t think I could ask people for money for some creative or personal pursuit. I have too much pride or not enough confidence or something. There was a time where I chose to sell my kind of nice guitar so I could make rent instead of asking my folks for money, for example. I’m not above asking for help, but when I say help I mean asking people to like a Facebook page or share my work or send me donuts. Not money.
During most of the episode I was eating plastic broccoli and pretending to drink milk from my daughter’s tea party set so I don’t have much more to write about. Maybe TBTL needs a kickstarter for a new blogger.
