It's 9AM
You don’t know what you’re talking about, she said.
The Fuck I don’t.
And she got offended.
I think it was the F bomb.
Some people are easily offended by words.
Which is crazy when you think about it.
Because words are just noises we agreed mean something.
And the F word has multiple meanings.
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.
Or from the German word for to strike or hit.
And now a euphemism for unlawful common knowledge-ing is to hit it.
Words only have the power we give them, and sometimes they come full circle.
The thing is, if I say it, there is a good chance I know what I’m talking about.
Most of the time.
Occasionally, I will exercise my writer card and say something with a nudge and a wink.
If you heard me in person, you could almost swear it was true.
I blame my face.
My tone.
My just general air of authority in which I deliver obvious untruths.
Which is how the answer to most of my prognosticating is “really?”
That leads to one of two answers.
Yes.
Or No.
Why buy the cow when the milk is free?
Mamaw always warned me about doing something for nothing.
But I got some advice from the Chili Peppers who told me to give it away.
Give it away now.
So I do.
And did.
Books and audiobooks and short stories.
Galore!
Finding like minds, I called it.
It worked.
For awhile.
But even people who got something for free started acting out.
Acting up.
Acting indignant.
And entitled.
God, don’t you hate people who think you owe them something just because they’re breathing?
We call them Karen’s, but that’s a disservice to a couple of girls I dated.
Who did give it away after a lot of work, effort and money.
Dating isn’t free.
But sarcasm is, and so is sincerity, and sometimes even song lyrics contain wisdom.
Life is a highway.
I want to ride it all night long.
Which could be what Karen said.
About driving to Dallas!
Get your mind out of the gutter.
It’s too crowded with mine down there.
Back to being free.
Every so often we get a toddler in the mix.
Who writes or complains or chants, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!
But all the giving, and there is a lot.
Every day is a lot, right?
Giving begets getting.
So here’s the ask.
Click a link.
Click to get a free book from the giveaways.
Click to get a free book from Amazon.
Click to at least read about the books on payhip or Kobo or any other site, and if you have a couple bucks, buy one.
Click and subscribe to Youtube.
I know, you don’t need “one more” subscription, but this is one that helps me too.
All the clicks help me, ESPECIALLY if you’re not buying the cow.
The cow’s got to eat too.
And it’s a fair trade.
You get a daily that reminds you about the world around you.
You get free books.
You get EXTRA stuff if you upgrade, but if you don’t, you get to click for more free stuff.
That’s it.
Simple.
Easy.
Breezy.
It’s funny.
I wrote a collection of posts a year ago and put it up for free on Amazon with the title HIT LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE.
About ten people clicked the link from the 5000 or so readers.
There is something about the phrase that burned people in the past, I guess.
Or it’s overused by folks, and their guard is up.
I’m not sure of the reason.
I am sure of this.
We’ve got at least 100 more free daily It’s 9AM before big changes happen.
So it is a fair trade and ask.
Even if you don’t watch YOUTUBE, subscribe to the channel to help it reach more people.
Even if you don’t have room in your TBR pile for one more book, check out the giveaways for new authors or titles or things that inspire you.
And of course, go buy one of my books or a coffee or something if you’re able.
It goes to covers, and audio narrators or into a pot to do more better.
You’re part of it.
You’re the more.
So Click Now.
I know what I’m talking about.
