#vent post#to delete#every year is the same bullshit and im exhausted#it feels like nobody pays attention. then you just have to walk on eggshells and either get gaslit or protect their feelings. im so tired.#my mom bough me measuring cups. theyre heavy and metal and cut into my hands. I already have a set i bought years ago#she got tongs to match. a huge butter dish that's nothing near my style.#and she got me knee high chicken leg socks. she spent $20 on chicken leg socks that no one is going to wear.#i gave it some time and quietly asked if we could return/exchange and all i get is#oh you only like what your father got you i really struck out this year why don't you like it oh i guess I'll just return*everything* then#you know what maybe I do like what he got me more. we went to the store and talked about what we liked and didn't like and he remembered.#he didn't just click whatever *he* liked on Amazon and call it a day.#a heated blanket that only works in the car? don't lie to yourself and say you got it for me. you got it for your mother when she visits.#i know it makes me a privileged pos but im just so upset. year after year it goes the same way. i don't know why it still upsets me#i just want her to listen to me without making it about herself or making it my fault she got it wrong and that's never going to happen.#and im so tired of having to be on edge while im here#my parents came up with a game where if you win a game you get to pick and open a little tube that has money/coupon/etc#and I told them it was a bad idea and it made me uncomfortable and I didn't want to participate but they basically said suck it up#my brother proceeded to take the bag of tubes and steal some money. and he got caught. so my parents made a show of giving me what he stole#and now they keep trying to have us do the game except now my brother doesn't get to open tubes. and I just.#im uncomfortable#i don't want to take part#i don't want what he took#i don't want to keep being the fucking standard they hold him to. i don't want him to resent me. but what i want doesn't matter#and even better I got to listen to the no stealing don't make me fuck you up talk after he did it#because slapping him and threatening more violence is always the best course of action. definitely.#and I got to hear the different standards they hold both of us to. glad to know they've been lying to me about what they expect from me#my whole life they've told me that as long as I'm above a C I'm fine but I didn't believe it. now they're saying they've always expected As#thanks for finally being honest with me my senior year of undergrad. really helps to know for sure you've lied for 22 years.#i just.#agh

Hi I’m still missing your stories, I’ve read similar stories from other writers but they don’t come close to the quality of your writing and I’d love to re-read them.
Have you found a new home for the Pookie stories yet? If not would you consider selling me text files or pdf versions of the stories? Sent via Dropbox or whatever suits you? I can pay via PayPal or any other method.
Cheers
Rick
Hi Rick!
I'm delighted that there is still interest in my Pookie stories! You may have missed the dialog happening on my other Tumblr recently (this one, k-an-kennon, is specifically for the stories that I can put on Amazon). If you didn't know, the other one is called pookiesfamilyii. I'll repost this over there, so you can follow the breadcrumbs in the notes section below if you haven't seen it.
Another fan of my Pookie stories mentioned (just a few days ago) that you can find all of my Pookie Originals released up to the end of 2018 on an internet archive called "The Wayback Machine." Just Google those words and it should lead you to a free site called archive (dot) org and while there, search the history of pookieiii (dot) tumblr (dot) com and you should click on the Dec 2018 archive. In it, you'll see my old Pookie III Tumblr like it used to be back then and have access to all but four of my released Pookie Originals. I'm still looking into other options as to where I can release my old and new Pookie stories.
In the meantime, I'm editing/re-writing one that I had almost finished before Tumblr pulled the plug on P3 so that it can be posted on Amazon and see where that gets me. If it proves worthwhile, I may revamp some of my older stories in a way that Amazon would be okay with. (They pay writers about ½ a penny per page read in their Kindle Unlimited program.)
If you'd like to help me financially, reading my Amazon books is the way to do it, especially if you leave glowing reviews. I have the links on my page here somewhere, but you could always go to Amazon (dot com or uk or whatever country you live in) and search for "K An Kennon" and you should see the three titles I have there so far. Master of the House is more like my Pookie Originals than the Valkyria ones are.
Surprisingly, I earn more if you read my Amazon books in the Kindle Unlimited program than if you paid for them outright (works on any phone/tablet/computer/etc.) A fun trick is to sign up for the free trial, quickly read all of my books and then cancel it at the end of the free trial period. I get paid by Amazon for you reading them, but you don't get charged a subscription fee for it! Win-Win! That was one of my old story titles, by the way! ;) With Jeff Bezos flying dick rockets to the upper atmosphere, he can definitely afford it.
Thanks for writing in and giving this aspiring author some inspiration to get back to the writing desk!
<==Pookie==>
and
K An Kennon
