I am an amateur writer. I have obtained my Bachelors Degree in Creative Writing, though I still have a long way to go. Though my stories are filled with flaws and still are amateur work, I believe that there is a beauty in the imperfection. One day I will miss the beautiful days of being a novice. Here I will present my amateur work to you. I pray the work touches your heart and soul and you feel the imperfections accentuate the beauty as well. I believe in a future where The Dreamer Manifesto takes full shape and contains a large influence over the world. Dreamers will fulfill their dreams of supporting themselves financially through their desired passions. I believe a revolution in the art industry's economic system is needed for this future to become a present day reality. Donations are at the center of this revolution. The economic revolution in the art world through donations has already begun online through systems such as Patreon. The donation economic system is overall healthier and more positive for both the audience and artist. Audience members who would not normally be able to afford the art experience does not need to pay anything. Audience members who can afford still have a choice. This gives the audience more power. If the audience does still choose to donate, they feel more fulfilled in choosing to support the artist of their choice. The artist feels more positive and fulfilled when obtaining donations as well since they understand these were not forced payments. The payments were from an audience member who believes in the artist so much they choose to donate. If you wish to support my dream of writing emotional and important works of art,  you can donate to my Cash App. My Cash App username is $joey50202. If you do have Cash App and still wish to donate, shoot me a message so we can work out another route. Regardless of if you choose to donate or not, thank you so much for taking the time to give my imperfections, work, and heart a chance.
