How you can help me

You may have heard that I am not well. I have good days and bad days.

We all want to assume the best, so when you see me posting on social media, you may assume it means I’m getting better. Sadly, that’s not necessarily the case. It more likely means I want to share something and I’m feeling well enough to do it, or I’m ignoring how bad I feel, to do it anyway.

When I post, people assume I’ll reply to them if they comment. Sometimes this is possible. Sometimes I’m just not up to it. Yesterday morning I posted and then had lots of comments and questions. Part way through the day I realised that I just wasn’t up to replying anymore. So I stopped.

Please don’t take my lack of response as rudeness. I’m not well, and sometimes I reach the end of what I can do. Your question might be something easy to answer, but I don’t have the capacity to do so. Or your question might be too difficult for me to work out an answer for, then.

If you have a question, please try reading the text of the post itself, some of my other posts, or my website to see if the answer is there. For some questions, the answers are already out there. Questions such as “Is this book available in the US/Europe/France/South Africa?” – without meaning to sound tired or frustrated, I’ve answered this many times already. “How much is this book?” – the answer to this is readily available on my website. Please do what you can to help me by looking for the answer to a question. I’m really sorry if I sound tired and frustrated. I just have really limited resources.

I’m living within a fairly narrow set of parameters currently. I can’t do all the things I want to do. I have to prioritise. Sometimes, I prioritise rest. Sometimes, I prioritise a trip to the doctors. Sometimes, my family. For the Big Mail Out, I devoted a lot of time and effort to my customers, so that you could have your books. I didn’t want to wait until I’m “well enough”, because I don’t know when that will be. It really took it out of me.

Please just bear with me. I’m doing the best I can.
