This week I’m applying to a 10-week course for a Certificate in Grant Writing. If all goes well, I’ll transition into making a living as a freelance grant proposal writer + editor. Eventually I hope to work in crypto philanthropy for arts funding. The last time I worked with a nonprofit was at Oregon Research Institute as a psychology undergrad in the 1990s. My post-bac credentials are in philosophy and accounting. So I’ve got my work cut out for me. Copy editing is still my superpower, so I hope to keep my schedule flexible enough to take contract copy editing work. When I start the grant writing class in April, there will be a significant drop in the time I spend on the purple app. The /slowcore-hq channel I co-founded is in extended hibernation. I'll continue to steward the Return On Attention group chat with co-admin @trigs. We’ll keep a low profile until we find a suitable space to move it and an economic model for it. Any casters currently work as grant writers? I'd love to chat.

Thank you. To be clear, I still wish I could've found a sustainable way to make ends meet in the Farconomy, so I could spend more time contributing here as an essayist, channel mod, community steward, etc. I want Farcaster to succeed. But that didn't work out for me. So it's time for Plan B.
