Memories of a Heroinhead

When I Google search "heroin blogs" I sadly don't see mine listed up there-and I thought by now my page was popular enough to be listed on Google, geez. BUT I did find this other blog that I have been a fan of for some time now. Check it out!

*Donations*

I thought on and off about this for a while now, and so I have finally come to the conclusion to start receiving donations, if anyone is willing and interested. My email address is scarlettraven44@gmail.com and I contemplated asking this or even bringing anything up about donations but hey, I figured now is as good a time as any-probably the best time to ask.
One thing though is that I prefer it to be cash, as I don't have a bank account or anything-that's part of the reason I didn't care to ask for several months.
So, this is totally your decision, as my readers, my fans, my friends, whatever you want to call yourselves. If you are in a giving mood, then email me and I'll get in touch with your personally.

Thank you.

Heroin-related blog of the day!

As you all most likely know by now, I'm obsessed with reading news articles and other blogs about and related to my *DOC*, heroin. So, here is another blog I ran across just now that might serve your entertainment needs as much as my blog does.[okay, now I know my blog comes first haha]

Blog Becoming a Book-Idea 2

Remember a while back I was contemplating some ideas of how to turn my blog into a book, a memoir of sorts? Well, I came across this blog written by blog guru Mari Smith, "

["Own Your Niche by Becoming An Author — How To Blog A Book"

  If you are like most business people, your blog serves as the cornerstone of your social media activities. Not only can you repurpose your old blog posts into a book, or “book your blog,” you can create a content plan and actually “blog a book,” a much more effective plan and use of your time. When you are done, you will have something else to sell to your loyal fan base and one more way to prove your expertise.

Blogging a book is easy to do. Simply choose a topic to blog about that supports your business or that your fans ask you about often, create a content plan, and break that content plan into chapters. Then chunk down the chapters into blog-post-sized bits—250-500-word pieces. Write these post-sized bits in a word processing document first, and then copy and paste them into your blogging program 2-7 times per week and publish them. In this way you create a manuscript as 
you publish the blog posts. You can later edit and revise this manuscript before you actually turn it into a published book.

**So, my idea is this-if there are any  publishers/editors out there that have been following my blog, and would be interested in setting up a book deal paralleling my blog, contact me, let me know! Send me a message through my email, scarlettraven44@gmail.com and I'll get back to you!**

Can't back out now

The shooting for that movie I was doing for James is complete, as of today. Obviously now wouldn't be a good time to express my feelings for wanting to back out of the project. I mean, geez, I at least could've confessed that to him days ago! I'm taking a big, deep breath about this right now as I type. I miss LA, I miss-I'm freaking homesick, can't you tell?! I wish I could just get that shit out of my mind, be content with where I am, with what I'm doing, etc. but NO, I can't-shit, how can I?

Well, James said he'll send the video to editing and then all there is left, he said, is to hold onto our seats and hope that some company like  Hustler picks it up. Those photos James shot of me, he sent several into Hustler last week so even if the movie doesn't get represented with them, at least my photos will take notice, hopefully. Hopefully SOMETHING happens out of all of this mess because I really need the damn money to get my damn plane ticket and get the hell outta here! James actually doesn't even know I'm planning on leaving Palm Springs. Of course I'd never let on about my plans.

That Guy's On Heroin-I love this blog!

So I stumbled upon this Tumblr accounting, That Guy's On Heroin. It's a photo and description website of the Baltimore, MD area and the heroin addicts that litter the area.
