I’m dealing with a complicates set of circumstances so I’m going to keep this as specific as I can. After prolonged failures to acquire some sort of stability I’ve decided to us what capabilities I have to create something. I fully expect complete failure, you don’t need to discourage me further, it won’t accomplish anything.
I’m writing a non-traditional media piece combining a book with the format of a comic. I’m sure it’s been done before already, but I want to know if anyone can help me with a publishing guide. My health has been deteriorating lately and I’d like anything I make to be directed towards my family, in case something happens, hopefully it doesn’t come to that and I can actually finish the work.
My family doesn’t understand what I’m doing and they’re not very savvy in this stuff (to tell you the truth they still think I’m the same person I was 20 years ago just playing videogames, just for context of why I haven’t simply asked them.) and please don’t be mad at them they’ve been traumatized enough or busy doing 12 hour workdays. I’m sorry I have to rely on a stranger for something seemingly so simple, but that’s all I ask for.
I just want to have a setup for in case I’m gone my half-assed work can at least give them a little bit of a solace. Which for the record I really would love to be able to finish it and I hope I can, just been feeling awful.
(Also I have already reached out to local orgs. They seem to have no interes in as much as scheduling a meeting with me, it’s been about a year since I’ve attempted to contact the last one and they’ve stopped replying to me after I offered to volunteer and asked if there’s anything I can do to help.)
A a side request, if anyone knows if it’s feasible at all for someone like me to get trained in Explosive ordnance disposal and where do I sign up that would be appreciated. Although I’m guessing I probably don’t qualify.
I’d try to get whatever you’re writing out in the world in the form of your own website. Lots of webcomics were able to exist in the 2010s, not sure how different it is now. If you ever get it finished, you can look into crowd-sourcing the cost of self-publishing at that point with the audience you’ve found.
Edit: If you’re looking for a place to self-publish, Amazon is the only place I know of that offers print-on-demand by default. Otherwise you’ll need to commission print runs of w/e number of copies at a time. For that local printers would likely be cheaper if you’re looking at less than a thousand copies.
Thanks for the input. I would love to host my own website, but it’s too expensive I haven’t had any income since for a while. (Don’t worry about it I’m good at rationing food and cost efficiency so I can get by)
Maybe someone reads this in the future and makes a website for me I would have really liked that. My current plan is to record a few imagined interactions and answering people’s, would be, questions. At least the questions I imagine they would be asking me and I imagine what I would reply to them, in the future. I have a fairly good idea of how this is going to go down so for future reference, those videos should be compiled on their own page and I think there’s at least a chance someone might host it. I’ve seen it happen before.
And to those talking with the ghost I apologize I had to make you go through this, please try to not get too attached to the ideal. Let’s continue trying to build a better world where nobody has to be living in death anymore.
if it’s electronic, you can specifically write it out in a will.If you want it physical, i guess something like dissertations/small book-binding companies?
But also, do try daring country escape over your last paragraph, worst come to worst you’ll arrive at same result
I haven’t found an attorney willing to do it pro-bono, although it is a good idea.
Thanks for the input. I’ve thought over it and setting up a deadman’s switch for a video upload might be the best idea, just to have faith it gains traction.
Well, i actually might suggest talking to family still, at least receptive part, one might think them being busy doesn’t change over time
::: Perhaps I should have specified more in the post I didn’t want to come across as pitiful and attention seeking, although for women this is just ordinary life spoiler Most of my family is gone, the close people I live with are women psychologically and physically abused, my family was also unfortunate enough to have to raise me someone with disabilities, a French citizen once was kind enough to offer help and I have already tried to seek help there, they said that I will be able to access Euthanasia if the doctors can’t find a cure, but after a while they ended up just giving up on me and sent me home. :::
- well, that sucks
But anyway, try to escape/dramatically change scenery for a bit
