I need help...
a year ago
General
*sigh* Hi all! So, um... I need help.
I made it to the end of August. I finished recording Starlight Telepath with the orchestra. Everything else is finalized except Into The Expanse, which will take me just a few more hours. Then all I need to do is upload it to streaming services and I'll be all set.
If only it were that easy...
I also need to make $400 more by tomorrow (a typical Uber day for me) for health insurance and taxes, $773 for whenever Musiversal gets the video files from the performance to me (probably Monday or Tuesday), and $1367 for my car insurance and car payment on September 8th. I have enough for rent right now, but I have much more work to do. And I'd totally be able to do it... But I've been driving 40+ hours a week for a year and a half, and I've been going really hard the past two months to make all this happen while struggling with sleep deprivation from acid reflux, caffeine withdrawal (I quit 1 month ago), an IBS-like issue of yet-unknown import, and a totally bonkers sleep schedule.
I've been trying to get all of that under control, but I'm struggling. And now... It feels like I have severe carpal tunnel from driving so much, and lifting my arms to steer my car has become immensely difficult. They feel weak. I don't know what's wrong but this is most probably an occupational injury. Uber drivers don't get workers comp and that injury is amplified by my phone and computer use. I probably shouldn't drive for a long while. To be honest, I've been having trouble even writing this.
I feel like I can't ask for more of y'all, but if you want to see this happen, please consider donating to my Ko-Fi, buying the album, or sharing this. Musicians don't typically get paid through commissions for produced works, but buying my music is, in a way, doing just that. And if you need me to pay you back for anything, we can discuss that. I'm just at the end of my rope right now and this is my last option...
As a way of saying thank you to everyone who has pitched in... Here is The Promise, fully orchestrated. It's about a promise of friendship...to stand and fight together, regardless of what may come: https://on.soundcloud.com/YsMHmT3rDUaTrJXQA
Thank you.
