Support of another kind?

Hi everyone. Hope your writing is coming along nicely. I was wondering if you could show a little support to a fellow writer in another way?

I've come to a decision that I really want to pursue writing full time, and my mum is kind enough to support me fully with this venture. However I've got to support myself financially until I get published, so I have decided to become self-employed. I have created a little shop on etsy called Valkyries Vault (https://www.etsy.com/shop/ValkyriesVault) and was wondering of you would be willing to check it out, and if you like it would you be willing to 'like' it on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/ValkyriesVault)? I'm selling handmade jewellery and I've it made all by myself.

Would be really grateful for any support from you guys in getting the name out there (my friends so far haven't been very supportive at all).

Many many thanks,

Kim

Just had a quick look in your shop - you've got some lovely things there. Good luck with it. Most writers need additional sources of income, and it's great if you can find something that you enjoy doing and brings in some money! My first thought when I saw your jewellery was 'I wonder how she made that?' Perhaps you could write (and sell!) some articles about jewellery making for craft/ lifestyle/ women's magazines? They're always looking for new ideas.
