I quite like Dawn. She’s a good author and she’s funny. She said her IG would remain the same and this would be deeper, more writing? Just because her husbands a movie star doesn’t mean she shouldn’t push herself as an artist and make her own income surely. She’s not forcing people to pay.Hmm.. I won’t be paying to read things she used to write for free on Instagram.
Is she that desperate for money with her publishing deal and her movie star husband with houses in LA and London?
She asked for her followers opinions on it but didn’t seem to care that most weren’t impressed!
This post has made me feel brave enough to say The Cows is the worst book I've ever ever read. The storylines were ludicrous and it was not the big comment women's relationships with other women it was touted as.Cows and So Lucky are adult books. I've read them both but So Lucky was better but I don't actually think she's that good a writer. Very basic. Her plots are predictable
To be fair I know it’s not quite as wild but I woke up yesterday morning with really minging hair....you know like when you should have washed it the day before and then you leave it and it really is a bit yuk? So anyway, I promised myself I’d wash it yesterday. We then had a fairly normal day (as far as lockdown with 3 kids is normal) but me and the hubby might have had a bit too much to drink last night and guess what I woke up this morning and I was like....erm....wtf happened to my hair? It was clean and silky...and just like....really fresh. I can only conclude that I showered late last night and gave my hair a lovely wash and blow-dry. But I kid you not if it wasn’t for the clean haired evidence I wouldn’t believe it bcos I don’t remember a thing.Did you see the post she made (then swiftly deleted) about being so stoned she passed out on her kid fully clothed?
It does seem a little sexist. I’m sure they ‘share’ things, but who knows what the future holds. It’s greedy for her to make money from her writing because her husband is a movie star seems really outdated and unfair.But she is generating her own income already. And as a married couple I would expect them to share money between them, that's not sexist, that's common sense. It just seems very greedy to me.
I’m not a parent but I hate to think if I ever became one I’ll have to give up all fun. If they aren’t getting out of control I don’t see a problem with drinking and smoking personally.Why pay when you can get it for freee?
Should both parents be drinking and smoking weed when they are responsible for minors? Serious question for any parents reading, not a preechy finger wag, i would have thought one needed to be sober just in case something happened.
Bored, so looking for new fiction i was looking at her book reviews but i get the impression they are for teens. I think pateron seems beggy and leaves a bad taste in tje mouth when she and her family are more than comfortable. Chris has a lucrative career, (not HIS money but money for HIS FAMILY) and Dawn has had success on tv, and now has a book deal. That is what she should be living on, amd putting in the family financial pot. Pateron is for those struggling to get paid / get that book deal etc. Being greedy is unappealing, and quite possibly in the long term will do more harm than good.
Myself and husband don't share our money. We share the bills and mortage but after that, that's our money and we spend it on what we want. We'll buy each other presents etc but after that what we earn is our money so Chris and Dawn not sharing money is probably ideal on their parts. If that's what you're talking aboutBut she is generating her own income already. And as a married couple I would expect them to share money between them, that's not sexist, that's common sense. It just seems very greedy to me.
I won’t be paying. I very much doubt she got the deal due to being married to a movie star. She doesn’t use his name and a lot of people know her from other things.I like her too but I won’t be paying.
She’s not that good a writer. Probably got the publishing deal due to her husband being a movie star.
I didn’t say I’d pay, but I can’t see anything wrong with what she’s doing. As I understood it this is part and parcel of her writing career. It’s a bit sexist to suggest she shouldn’t generate her own income but just live off her husband.I like Dawn but she can fuck right off with that Patreon. Of course she's entitled to her own income, but she already must have a very good income from her books and writing career. Not to mention Chris O'Dowd's vast income. How much money do two people need?
Did you read Dawn's book where she covered lockdown? Absolutely unrelatable. To sum it up, her and Chris were either drunk or stonedSame argument was made with Amanda palmer. She’s married to Neil gaiman yet she uses Patreon. I fast went off her when she bullshitted her experiences living in New Zealand during the lockdown.
This is how I view it. I’m happy she’s going down this route as it gives us the consumers a choice. As others have said here I won’t be paying for her content but I’m sure others will and at least then she doesn’t have to turn her page into QVC like so many others have. I would hope it could lead to better content for everyone.The Patreon issue is complex. Ultimately I see it as a antidote to influencer culture. Instead of consuming ‘free’ content where the person is paid by brands to shill products in sponsored content of varying frequency, Patreon offers a model where you can pay the person directly, leaving them with a steady-ish income stream and they can produce content free of commercial pressure.
