Welcome to the Home Page!

Hey there everybody, my name's Emily Grace Lamontagne and I am the Author. This blog-ish thing is me finally posting my work for public consumption. I've been writing seriously for about six years, and it's only recently that I've decided to start looking seriously into the whole "making money" end of my work. Lucky for you, though, that I'm still unpublished and you can look at my work for free here at Doing Nothing But Drinking Tea!

You're currently sitting at the home page. To your right, you'll see links that are all nice and organized according to genre. Click the genre you're interested in and take a look at some of the things I've written. I cover a wide variety of topics and genres, so there should be something for everybody here. A lot of the links don't go anywhere right now as I am still in the process of editing and uploading the majority of my short stories, but keep checking here on the homepage because this is where I'll be posting updates and information for y'all.

Peace,

Emily Grace

Donate To The Writer

Previously, I had a Paypal donation button in the sidebar of the blog. I decided that it looked too cluttered when I tried to explain the reason WHY I'm asking for donations, so I removed the explanation. And then it was just a "Give Me Money" button, and I decided I didn't feel right about that, either, so now you've got a page to look at.

Why am I asking for donations?

Here's the thing: I'm not. I've added the Donate paypal button to offer up another way of showing support for the blog. At this moment in time, even though I'm not as well-off as I would like, I'm not starving, I'm able to pay my rent and my bills, and I've even got a little left over each month to put away for savings.

If I'm not asking people for money, why do I even HAVE a Donate To The Blog page?

Eventually, I am going to be working on a hard-copy Happy Notes book. And it is NOT going to be cheap. It will feature original photography done by me, prompts, original quotes, and pieces of wisdom that I've discovered, and a few pieces of original fiction by yours truly.

This may sound simple, but it kind of isn't. I have to focus my energy on what's keeping me out of debt: My 40-hours-a-week job.

BUT!

If I can turn my blogs into a source of income, enough that I can at least cover my expenses, then I can devote more time to my projects and the eventual creation of the Happy Notes book.

For now, though, the "Tip Jar" button below is just a "Tip Jar".

Click the empty jar if you'd like to donate!











This post is also a stand-alone page!
