Extra money is always good

Lissette Cruz @acrogodess (991) • Aberdeen, North Carolina 4 Oct 19

I love to write. That is my actual passion in life but raising two teens on my own, I can’t afford to be a starving artist/aspiring writer. That’s okay, eventually I can concentrate on writing to my heart’s content. Part of...

Less hours but still 6 days

Lissette Cruz @acrogodess (991) • Aberdeen, North Carolina 3 Jun 18
