Hey Everyone! I just want to take a second to say how much I appreciate all of you! You guys are awesome!

But I also have to ask you a favor. Since July is a free month, please share the posts as much as you can. I’m trying my best to market this on various social media sites, but I think that direct sharing is probably the most effective. If you have a friend that you think would be interested, please go ahead and share posts or forward the newsletters! I know it’s weird asking your friends to hard sell your blog for you, but here we are. The social media stuff is great, but I have a feeling a lot of people who would like this blog aren’t on social media. (Especially since social media can be horrible for your mental health and self-esteem and this blog is very pro-mental health and self-esteem).

I realize that’s a lot to ask of you, and so I’m going to try to make this as easy as possible. I promise to only write these kinds of posts a few times a year, whenever I do a review month. I’m also going to break down this blog into it’s major selling points so that I’ve already answered the question “How do I even start explaining this to someone?”

Well, it’s a craft blog, but it’s also a story. Instead of all that junk before the craft or recipe about how some pretty white lady has a perfect life, you get a fictional story of a young witch who doesn’t have a good grasp on her powers or her life. Filling in the blanks are her many-time-great grandmother (also a witch), the ghost that lives in her apartment, and her cats. Even though the stories are fictional, all the crafts and recipes are accurate in their time, cost, and results.

So whom should you share these posts with? Your friends who are any combination of crafty, witchy, focused on mental health, fed up with social media expectations, fed up with capitalism, wanting to read something but don’t have the attention span for a book, trying to figure their shit out, wondering what their cats are thinking, wondering if ghost were real would they be chill, the kind of person who likes the idea of crafting or cooking but never gets around to making anything. You know who I’m talking about.

Why would they sign up to read a blog? Isn’t that kind of passé? Well I like reading and I read a lot of blogs. They make great lunch break reading, especially when I forget to bring a book to work. What about the temptation of social media? Well aren’t we all in that stage of our lives where we’re trying to spend less time on social media but still addicted to our phones? A blog seems like a perfect solution. You get to read one thing for a couple minutes and then take a break, do your meditation app, whatever. It’s up to you. No videos that autoplay of people who are prettier than you or more successful than you or having more fun than you. (Are my own insecurities showing? Well this whole blog is basically about my insecurities so, yes).

And tell them that there’s no pressure to sign up for the Patreon. There’s going to be more free stuff coming. If they want to support me, that’s great (and thanks to those that do!), but just subscribing means a lot to me! And if you’re looking for other free ways to support this site, you can follow me on social media and like and share my stuff there!

Thank you all! You really know how to make someone feel like they’re not pointlessly shouting into the void.

Think someone else would enjoy this? Share it!
