My Finances

I don't like having to ask people for money, and I don't. I don't like having to rely on others for financial help. I'd rather work for my money and earn the money I need through my artwork and poetry. And I've successfully done that in the past. And twice I've gotten Disciplinary Reports (DR) for running a business, by simply selling my art. Back in the 90s I used to crochet, and I was GOOD! My sweaters sold in here for $50.00 each. But the FDOC stopped hobby craft, and when they returned it several years ago, they didn't put the yarn or crochet hooks back on the hobby craft list.

Now I can draw, I can paint and get by, I'm not a natural artist. I can do a card that'll take me 6 to 8 hours to do, and there's guys in here that can do that same drawing in 30 minutes. And the most these cards will go for, is about $2... so I'm only making like 25 cents an hour. I'm not complaining, it's better than nothing. Which is what the FDOC wants me to make, nothing! And that's total B.S. and for those who say you're on death row, blah blah blah. Well, my co-defendant the DAMN MURDERER is on the street earning a good living, doing well as I'm sitting here waiting to die for a crime he committed! And I don't expect any of you to understand. And especially those cold-hearted judgmental types.

Hey, that's just the breaks of this stinking ass life. Oh well, it is what it is.

Hi Ronnie,

hope you didn´t get the feeling that I don´t understand you to want to earn some money by yourself.

I wrote to you better not to do anything against the law because otherwise you´ll get into trouble again and I thought you´ve been in there long enough, haven´t you?

Keep your head up.
I´m posting a letter to you this morning.

Yours
Schneehase
