Malotke Made: Next Steps!

Since I do work full time it has been a very slow process, but I am slowly but surely getting everything done with starting my small business. I have received my FEIN, gotten tax registration approved, filled out my LLC paperwork, started an Instagram account, and finished my funding request for the incentives program.

My next steps include actually sending in my LLC paperwork (I need to get a money order to mail it all in) and finishing adjusting my business plan to the way that the incentives program wants. I have an upcoming meeting in February to go over everything and *fingers crossed* if it goes well my funding requests will be approved and I can get some new equipment that will increase my product output efficiency and potentially my incoming revenue as well. With all of this in mind I am thinking my launch will be mid to late February. I could start selling now but I would love to actually have my physical business license before selling products. I'm hoping after my meeting I will have an exact date for my launch. I have business cards coming and I plan on getting some more personalized shipping products as well. All of this factors into my starting date. Once I have a more exact date I will post about it.

Pictured left is one of my favorite photos from the photography session. I've already updated my website using a bunch of the photos and I've sent them off for social media / marketing for upcoming interviews & anthologies that I'm included in.

Mood Board for Writing Characters

The Dire Circle - " The circle is dire, much like the outcomes of these stories. In this black zodiac themed anthology, you may come to dislike other people...maybe even yourself." When I pitched an idea for "The Dire Circle" during 2021, I wasn't sure that it would even get picked. But, once it did and I was given a Black Zodiac to then develop my short story, I decided to do what I do for costuming a character - I made a mood board for my main character. My Black Zodiac was the Serpent and my short story for the anthology is Twisted Tales, Dripping in Honey . My story centered around a very femme fatale main character with lots of buried secrets. I looked to old Hollywood glamour, dark reds, demon eyes, and other glints of seductress mixed with sweetness to create Melia . For me, coming up with a name was very difficult. After creating what should would look like, having an idea of her voice, her outfits, her drive, everything about her, I still needed the
