I'm in a Funk and I'm Writing My Way Out of It
I feel like a failure today.
I've been building, creating, posting, writing, grinding — and my bank account still looks like a cry for help. I have products that nobody's buying. I have content that nobody's seeing. I have a whole vision and zero dollars to show for it.
And I'm tired.
Not the kind of tired that sleep fixes. The kind of tired that makes you wonder if any of this is even worth it.
The Lie We Tell Ourselves
Here's what I'm NOT going to do: pretend I'm fine.
I'm not going to post some "rise and grind" bullshit and act like I've got it figured out. I'm not going to slap a motivational quote over my pain and call it content.
That's not me. That's not this brand.
Savage & Sacred was never about having it together. It was about being in the mess and still fighting.
What's Actually True
So let me tell myself — and you — what's actually true right now:
I got sober. Again. And I stayed sober. That counts.
I wrote an entire book series while going through withdrawals. FIVE BOOKS. Outlined, planned, and one fully drafted.
I submitted to a literary agent. I put my work out there.
I built a website, created products, posted content, learned AI tools, figured out shit I didn't know before.
I did all of that from a fifth wheel trailer with barely enough food and no money.
That's Not Failure
No sales yet? That's not failure. That's a traffic problem. That's fixable.
Feeling like shit? That's not weakness. That's being human in a hard situation.
Wanting to quit? That's normal. I think about it every day.
But I'm still here. Still writing. Still posting. Still trying.
And if you're reading this feeling the same way — still trying counts. Still showing up counts.
The Funk Is Not the Ending
I'm in a funk. I won't lie about that.
But funks are not permanent addresses. They're rest stops.
I'm not going to toxic-positivity my way out of this. I'm going to sit in it, feel it, write about it — and then get back up.
Because that's what Savage & Sacred is.
It's the mess AND the majick.
It's the breakdown AND the rebuild.
It's crying in your trailer AND still hitting publish.
So Here's What I'm Doing Today, Writing this post (done)
Reminding myself that no sales YET doesn't mean no sales EVER
Eating something (even if it's struggle food)
Being gentle with myself for 5 minutes
Then getting back to work
If You're in the Funk Too
You're not alone. You're not behind. You're not a failure.
You're just in the hard part.
Keep going.
