HOMELESS LIFE

To be homeless does not mean that we have no lives. With modern technology we can still accomplish a lot without a permanent address. I am in New York City so there are spots where I can go to get out of the cold. I could always use the subway if Port Authority or Penn Station is mean to me. I would keep a duffle bag with me so that people would not know if I am traveling or not. This gets me access to the bathrooms at Penn Station and Port Authority at the least. Inside of the stalls I can clean myself with wipes and change my clothes. I will keep my dirty clothes in a separate bag within my duffle bag. I could use a water bottle to brush my teeth. After this I can throw away the disposable wipes, I will use these to keep from clogging toilets, which would bring negative attention. Most people do not want to notice homeless people so if I keep my head down I can move around the city freely. I will continue to write in my journal and publish books to Smashwords.com using a thumb drive and computers at the public library. I will also promote my books using social media as well as a sign with my name and links in public. Being homeless will give me a chance to get to libraries early. Anyone who wants to help me can down load these books and the money will go directly to my Pay Pal account which will allow me to purchase metro cards and food. I can produce good works of literature despite the fact that I do not earn enough money to pay rent.
