My situation is complicated. There is no one singular cause of the problem. Rest assured, I wish it were a case of "Doreen is just being stupid about something and if she would just learn this one neat trick, everything would fall into place." But it's really not. It's not laziness. It's not me being neurotic. It's partly sexism and misogyny out in the world but that doesn't explain the whole thing. I'm a writer. I need more Patreon supporters and more resume work and more tips on my blogs. Someday maybe I will have "a real business" of some sort. Until then, I need to somehow make writing cover my bills because that's what I am capable of doing given a long list of constraints on my life, including poverty making it hard to move on to other things. Thank you for your concern. I hope your comment helps someone else.
