forgive me

For I am slightly buzzed.

But would someone please like to explain to me why I had no trouble whatsoever shelling out three grand for my museum studies certification four years ago (which I do not regret doing for one moment, mind you) but can't talk myself into spending $300 apiece for a couple of classes on self-publishing (how to design covers, write teaser copy, design the interior of a paper book, etc.) that I suspect would help my writing income rather a lot?

I was going to say much of what kk1raven said.

That being said, have you considered using your writing to fund the classes in a less conventional manner? Kickstart a class? Write a fund raiser? $300 is not a ridiculous amount to ask the interwebs for.

I'm not sure I've got enough people who consider themselves fans (who have extra money floating around) to actually pull off a Kickstarter yet.

There's another scary thought -- throwing that kind of party and discovering just how many fans I don't have [wry g].

I can manage the cash, I think, better than I could manage having no one donate.
