This afternoon I uploaded my modest little mixed media art product to my very own patch of online shop here on Flock!
My e-book, You must be so tired, had only made 12 sales in almost as many weeks on Amazon. Stoked as I was to have anyone buy any of my writing at all, I have been thinking, “Why is this so hard?”. Why aren’t more people buying the low-cost low-content poetry book they had supported and applauded so fervently on my socials?
I think it’s because the format and method was too difficult to buy and view. It looked confusing and complicated. I was playing hard to get and I didn’t even know it!
Also, the global, billion-dollar, stock-exchange listed corporations‘s profit margin for me, as an amateur author, is not a very pretty penny.
What was I thinking selling my soul to the world’s richest white man? Bezos doesn’t quite share my ethos.
Enter Flock: a local collective of female and non-binary souls disrupting the way online business is done.
The Flock Mission is as follows:
_Create an irresistible platform that builds community wealth and offers opportunity for creatives, in their diversity, and on their own terms. To divest from patriarchal systems that are holding inequity in place.
Now, that is my kinda tweet!
You are singing my song, sistas!
Thank you for accepting me into your beautiful community and enabling me to share my stories with my current and future audiences.

So, go, fly out of the net-nest, off the Safari-shelves and into the Chrome-carts, my baby bird book! Or at least land where you need to and take a walk around the ground, my little fledgling. We have all the time in the world.
Rest well & restful reading zz
