well it's been a couple years 
and I finally released
that beautiful new album
the campaign is complete
and as I contemplate how to proceed 
I can't help but think
what about all the other stuff
all the other songs I want to create
at a daily or weekly or monthly rate
why do we we have to wait
because when I create 
I am happy
when I share the things I create 
I am happy
and hopefully receiving the things I create
makes you happy, too 
and then we're all happy
and who doesn't want to be happy
so here we are on patreon 
and I'm asking you
to get hip to my vision
of an ongoing partnership 
just you and me
and I'll spend all my time 
on the creation of things
and I'll send you stuff 
not every few years
but every few weeks
see the album is an old 
and outdated construct
don't get me wrong 
I still love albums
and I'll continue to make them
every so often 
but in the meantime
in the meantime 
I'm always writing songs
and I really love to share them
and I don't need a label 
to control how I release them
but it'll be so much better
when I actually have a budget
instead of trying to create these things
by begging my artist friends for favors
or paying for a video instead of food
which really pisses off my husband
here's how it works
you choose what you'd like to give
every time I release something new
and at all the different levels 
there are different cool things
that I'll send to you
and if you're on a budget 
you can set a monthly limit
like 3 or 5 or 10 or 20 or $100
or whatever you want 
so for example
if you pledge $5 per thing I make 
but you set a monthly limit of $15
and I go crazy
and release 500 things one month
you will not be on the hook for $2,500 nope
you'll only ever pay 15
cos I know what it's like to be broke all the time
and still want to enjoy good things
you'll only ever pay 
when I make something new
and patreon makes it so easy to do
now I can spend my time
making songs for you
instead of doing things I don't like to do
like setting up Christmas trees
for my brother
although I admit 
I actually enjoy that odd job
quite a bit
you can cancel at any time
thought I can't imagine why in the world you'd want to cancel
and we can do this together
hopefully forever
