I don’t like this kind of post.
I follow different content providers for different reasons, but my motives are almost always self-focused—I want inspiration, information, and / or entertainment (and there’s nothing wrong with that). So when the people I follow pause their normal content to ask for support, I usually sigh. I shouldn’t, but I do. I’m working on it. These creators provide me with wonderful enrichment for little or no money. Why should I be bothered by them occasionally asking for support to help them continue to give me desirable content?
With full awareness of the irony, I’m hoping you feel the same way. For years, I’ve kept Becoming Yourself completely free with no ads, and I want to continue that way. But I do make my living as a writer. It’s how I pay the bills. If you’d like to support my writing while keeping Becoming Yourself free, here are some simple ways you can help:
I write a spooky monster mystery series called MONSTERIOUS. The books are short, can be read in any order, and are great for fans of Goosebumps, Scooby Doo, Stranger Things, and Five Nights at Freddy’s. While targeted for ages 8 to 12, they’re a good fit for anyone who enjoys a fast-paced, spooky thriller with lots of action, humor, and heart. They are available in all formats (paperback, hardcover, audiobook, e book) wherever you buy books. My fifth book, TRAPPED IN THE HORROR DOME, just came out this past Tuesday.

I recently posted a 50 second video of me talking about my latest book release. If you can like, comment, and best of all share this post, it would really help. Here is the INSTAGRAM post (you can easily share it to your story with the paper airplane icon). Here is the FACEBOOK post (you can easily share it to your page with the share button).
At the bottom of each page of my website MattMcMann.com, you can subscribe to my free monthly newsletter. It has info on my books, my travels, and my author appearances around the country. As a thank you, you’ll receive one of my free spooky short stories.
If you’re still reading this, I’m very grateful. If you do any of the above, especially purchasing my books, I’m incredibly grateful! I’ll be back next week with more personal development content. Thank you so much for helping me take another step toward Becoming Myself.
