About Optimistic Hot Mess
A safe, welcoming, and (hopefully) funny little corner of the internet
Hi, friends! I'm Sam. I'm an AuDHD, queer, trans, widowed, disabled, writer who lives with two cats in a small river town near NYC. My chronic illnesses make it very difficult to support myself (and the kitties!) working "regular", out-in-the-world jobs. I've always wanted to make a living with my words, and now is the time I'm tossing my hat into the writerly ring, and giving it a shot.
Any support you can spare would be deeply, DEEPLY, appreciated. The rent ain't gonna pay itself, and the cats have yet to grow thumbs and get jobs to help out. Ingrates.
Seriously? I am so thankful to have great people who are reading my thoughts and building a really cool little corner of the internet. Especially now--when the world is brimming with vitriol and simmering anger, we need to rely on our communities, our people.
Love is ALWAYS the answer.
Thanks for being the bestest!
