I started this Substack with the intention of growing it into a full-time career back in late February of this year with my personal welcome post. That didn’t work out.
Why? My post in late April, The Importance of Prioritizing Your Happiness, lays out the full explanation, but, the sum of it was that I said everything I needed to say. If I continued releasing new content each week, I’d put out shit I wasn’t happy with.
At the end of that post, I declared I’d seek out another career which I won’t go into now. Nevertheless, I had good intentions, I felt really good about this new career but… it didn’t work out.
Why? I had no discipline. No motivation. No joy doing what I did. And I CANNOT live a life NOT led by my happiness. My heart. If I do, my soul bleeds, my spirit dies, and eventually, my body will go with it.
I can’t let that happen. I WON’T.
These last six to eight months I’ve tried out different careers. Different paths. Different ways to boost my financial state by doing things outside of my fictional writing.
I failed each time. Bad. Really fucking bad.
But failures are lessons, teachers, doors that lead you to hidden opportunities. And these last six to eight months have led me to one final door. The same door. The ONLY door: my fictional writing.
But I’m tired of talking.
Tired of telling.
Tired of declaring what I will do.
I’m done. SO FUCKING DONE. The next time you hear me talk about my fictional journey, I won’t start with, “This is what I’m doing,” but with, “This is what I’ve done.”
Going forward with this Substack (My Mojo Dojo Casa House)
I’m saying goodbye. Not forever but for a good fucking while. And I’m letting ya’ll know that whenever I do return, here and from now on out…
ALL of my content will be free.
There won’t be a strict schedule. I’ll post whenever I have something worthwhile and meaningful to talk about.
And think of PAID subscriptions as support/donations for my journey as a fictional author.
What if you have an upgraded subscription right now?
Feel free to cancel your subscription or keep it, no hard feelings. If you cancel, thank you for your support thus far, it really has helped. If you keep it, thanks again for the support.
Final words
I’ve said everything I needed to say. I’ve done everything I needed to do. I must disappear and jump once more into the fray, dear friends.
For my health.
For my happiness.
For my future.
So…
We will miss you. 😢
