Want to hear the story of how I created my first product while homeless, crying, and living in my car, out of a K-Mart parking lot in the slums of South Philadelphia? And how I leveraged my blog to pull me out of homelessness? Literally?

True story, bitches.

Check it.

It’s a guest post for Erika at RedHeadWriting.

Which means you have to click.

Do not whine.

It’ll be worth it.

  Walton family stuff. Ha. I almost spit my coffee out when I read that.
  
  WELCOME, dahling! XOXOXO.

I love your blog Ashley, have subscribed to your RSS feed and now need to buy that e-book, unfortunately my business partner has to agree to the purchase or else have to purchase in personal capacity which I don’t think I will have to do as both our mouths are like yours!Just have to wait for her to get back from her vacation. I have a strong Christian friend in theatre who doesn’t swear, referred her to your blog and she absolutely loves it besides the F-bombs! Keep rocking. I so want to give you a middle finger for beins so effing amazing but am not going to, am going to learn as much as i can from you, continue to be inspired and make my dreams come true.

Your story blew. me. away. I’m still thinking about it.

I know I e-mailed awhile back w/ some BS about being invisible or some crap, blah, blah, blah. It’s funny how much your perspective can change in 30 days in this crazy world.

I will just say I’m a huge fan and totally impressed. I thought I could write and had a few people stopping by my place; ha, we aren’t even in the same time zone. It’s like me saying Tiger Woods and I can play golf. You are not only good, but damn good……and I read a lot.

That’s my two cents worth and sorry I’m such a dork………….:). Best of luck to you………..

  Well thanks, Bill, for that amazing vote of confidence.
  
  I do remember your email because it made me lose sleep that night.
  
  YOU ARE NOT INVISIBLE.
  
  Far from it. <3

  I hope this comment gets liked 80,000 times. I’d offer to flash you back, but I have a feeling your boobs are nicer than mine, and then I’ll feel stupid. I do have an excellent ass, though. Perhaps a friendly moon is in order. LOVE YOU THE MOST.

  I love it; you sound like my friends talking to each other…………but I ain’t dry humpin’ none of my friends and the halo rule is in effect in the locker room too; don’t be talkin’ to me while I’m naked…..just sayin’…
  
  That post was incredible X 10.

I’m emailing you. Today. I … really can’t think of anything else to say I’d be willing to share publicly right now.

Ash, you hid all your pain and all the crap you went through so well. There’s no way anyone could have guessed the devastation you were experiencing around the time that you put your book up for presale. I really admire how you are able to DEAL with everything without feeling a need to share it, or even to leverage your suffering to convince more readers to help you out.

Girl. You’re tough as nails and fucking awesome!
