This story, like everything else here, is totally Creative Commons 4.0 "use it any way you want...just give me, Derek Leif of Beverly, Massachusetts" creadit. And Venmo me a buck. I'm going to start giving away possessions. Seriously. Just take it and use it. Use all my stories. Use everything. Just Venmo be a buck. Just a buck. That's it. Just a buck. I have this, like, Luke Wilson as Dignan in "Bottle Rocket" relating his plan to Luke.

Enough. follow the link below to read the story The Hertz Twins Save the World, by Derek Leif. To use as you see fit. Just do whatever you want to do with it. Make money. Just please Venmo me a buck. I'll then be selling item after item on Ebay for a "Buy it Now" that's just the shipping cost. I just want to give a lot of my stuff away and focus on writing:

It was about time to start this...

This is the way things start: awkwardly. Sloppily.

My name is Derek Leif. I write a lot. I speak a lot.

I'd like to make a living at this.

To make a living at this, I have, after so many years of trying to make a living writing, settled on the following thought:

Out of the billions of people in the world, there may be 100,000 who are fine with giving me a buck each year for the rest of my life.

If those 100,000 Venmo a dollar @derekleif, then I can keep doing this.

Okay, what's here?

For now, I admit: um...well, there's this entry, and my old writing. Not much.

What I'm hoping there will be more of is written and spoken words, and have people read them and listen to them. Occasionally, I will have pictures, and drawings from friends. I hope people look at them and like them.
