Books! Books books books!

General
I know many of us are sorta stuck in limbo, at home, or otherwise in a shaky state. I am, as well. My work contract ended at possibly the worst possible time, as now no one is hiring (and since that job was a contract position, I'm ineligible for unemployment benefits). Since I'm on COBRA, insurance is ridiculously expensive ($1700/mo), and ending COBRA is not a qualifying event, so we can't switch to the exchange. I'm getting by on scanty savings and, you guessed it, revenue from my books!*
To that end, I've set up some small incentives! I have a few free copies of electronic copies of all of my books, as well as all of those published by Hybrid Ink. All you need to do is use the coupon code homecon at checkout on any digital goods at either of the stores: https://gumroad.com/makyo and https://hybrid.ink/catalog
I've also been starting to stream a bit more, as something folks can tune into during the day so we can all hang out and work together. I'll be announcing stream times on my writing twitter at https://twitter.com/makyo_writes, so keep an eye out for when things get going. The type of work will be writing and typesetting, so a lot of text on the screen, but I'll also have some music going and the mic open for chatting! You can yap at me or ask questions or whatever via twitch chat, or any of these fine communication methods
You can also find me on on my Discord server, Hybrid's Discord server, Hybrid's Matrix room, Hybrid's Twitter, and Hybrid's Mastodon.
I hope you'll consider checking out some books - both mine and Hybrid's - and peeking in on the stream. Things are tough for creators in furry, with so many cons cancelling and postponing! Support artists however you can, and don't forget about writers and musicians in that category as well!
Love you all~
* I'm also doing transcription for rev.com! If you're in need of some contracting work, they pay weekly, and it's something you can do with headphones and a keyboard.
