I am a songwriter-singer and screenwriter; wholesomely a poet. How in the world will I beat debit and have enough credit for a life changing project. Someone's gonna tell me build your wall gradually and soon, you'll have a roof over your head. Not a good introduce-yourself, huh? Well?

Hey, Efefiong Akpan! My name is Kay, I'm the Community Manager here at Stage 32. Nice to meet you! I feel you - it can be a strain to work a job to make ends meet and provide the opportunity for a creative outlet. I'd like to offer you the advice that was once given to me by a career coach. Figure out how to get paid. If you ever wish to make a creative endeavor into a business in which you get paid, then figure out what the services are, how much to charge, and how they will pay you. Then you work backward from there.
But don't take my word for it! I would highly recommend reaching out on the Producing Lounge about how to make money at what you're already doing creatively: https://www.stage32.com/lounge/producing
Keep in mind that these lounges are like the VIP Filmmaker's Lounges at Film Festivals, so this is where you can meet the people doing the work, get advice on anything you're working on, and/or give back to those who may need advice. We're a very supportive and encouraging community! I think you'd also enjoy my intro blog post on how to engage with the Stage32 Community:

Enjoy exploring the lounges, and don't forget to comment and respond to others’ posts, too! It's the best way to really connect! Feel free to reach out at any time.
Welcome!
Thanks!
