About Dawna Joy Wightman
smearing secrets on paper so we can be human together
Hello love.
You're HERE...YAY!
Kermit arm flailing that you've come this far.
Probably you were asked to support my words. PLEASE DO! Did you know when you buy me a coffee here on this site then you help the whole wide world?
HOW.
Because our world is topsyturvy and AI is a threat. When you buy me a virtual coffee you get to read my REAL stories, poems, songs - they're mine, my soul smeared across your computer screen.
AI cannot have a soul.
I own my soul.
You own your soul.
Souls count for something.
So even when you toss in $5 once, you help the whole wide world.
What do YOU get? Raw writing that will make you laugh / think / feel. Reading my words might even inspire you.
What do I get when you support me with $5 (even better, when you become a monthly MEMBER)?
My only job is to make hearts sing. after giving up on grants, I turned to people to help me make stuff.
Private funding has allowed me to create:
8 plays (Con Tainers, Life as a Pomegranate, Yellow Birds, Hoody, A Mickey Full of Mouse, Oh My Dog!, Buffalo Brother, 22 Book Clubs)...& counting
poetry collection HONEY, BE
creative manual for caregivers FAERIES REAL & IMAGINED: HOW TO CREATE MAGICAL ADVENTURES FOR YOUNG CHILDREN
short film KID GLOVES
... plus every story / poem/ spong/ video you will enjoy on this platform.
Yes, your support counts.
As you read this, I am completing the 3rd draft of my debut novel A YARN OF BONE and PAPER. It is an original story about a housekeeper who gets tangled in a world of twisted fairies.
My novel is for anyone who has known hard times.
And when you buy me a coffee, you help get the novel out there....and every future creation.
Okay, so reading back this blurb you know I am NOT in marketing.
Here's the truth: supporting a small potatoes artist will change YOU. That's a promise.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for believing in humans...for believing in me.
Love & light,
Dawna J. Wightman
