Professional athletes sometimes talk about “winning ugly.” That’s when they achieve a victory even though they haven’t played their very best. I foresee you using that phrase for yourself soon, after you notch a less-than-pretty but undeniably real success. There’s another expression you might also exemplify, too: “ugly ripe.” Officially, it’s the name of luscious heirloom tomatoes whose lumpy, offbeat forms contrast with the smooth, bland specimens stacked in most supermarket bins. In the coming weeks, it will describe the nonstandard yet succulent flavor of your life.

You may have noticed that I give away my horoscopes for free here.

So then how, you may ask, do I earn money? How do I pay my rent and buy gas for my 2008 Honda Element and create my future books?

In addition to paid subscribers, another way I raise funds is by creating Expanded Audio Horoscopes and Daily Text Message Horoscopes that DO cost money. If you would like to buy them, thereby contributing to my welfare, I invite you to partake.

You could also be a paid subscriber of my weekly newsletter — and get access to my other writing and music. (You're also welcome to subscribe for free.)

Just want to give a one-time donation? Go HERE and contribute via the "Friends and Family" option.
