Damn, I went sooooo long without an update. Hopefully the stretch will be shorter this next go
What I’m Doing:
I’m still chipping away at creating the children’s board game I said I’d make. I am doing it, which is great. But holy shit, it has taken me so much longer to create this baby than I thought it would! hahahaha. Not so different from renovating a house, really, lol.
But yeah, the game is the thing I’m working on until I get it on the shelf. Hopefully in Barnes and Noble. Anyone know the buyers? Got any tips for me? Just kidding (unless you really do!). I know that’s a long shot. But eventually perhaps. Yes, yes 🙂 That’s where my buyers are, so that’s where I gotta get to. In case you’re curious, I do have a retail plan but I’ll be starting small and local.
Also, it’s summer break and this week is spicy hot. My birthday is soon. No clue what I’m going to do, but this year I think I’ll probably keep it mellow.
Oh yeah, and I got a puppy! He’s an Australian Cattle Dog named Geezer. So I’m doing a lot of dog training right now. Wish me luck, please!
What I’m Reading:
I just finished a book called Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan, which I loved very much. It’s a fictional book for youth but that doesn’t matter to me. I hope I’m always able to tap into my inner child 🙂
What I’m Fascinated By:
Oh my goodness, so many things!
Shelf packaging, gardening, healing my back pain, my Rav4 hybrid that I just got a few days ago (yes, it was finally time to stop driving a 26 year old vehicle).
Also, treasure hunting, weird stories about people who won the lottery (not all bad ones!), how to make philanthropy work better, starting a website where you can actually own the shit you stream (forever!), how now is the perfect time to disrupt the typical movie/film production/licensing model and what that might look like… bla bla bla.
What I’m Inspired by:
As I will always say,
Kevin Cooper
I will always want to share the incredible story of Kevin Cooper (pen name, Cole Summers). If anyone was going to save this world, it was him. Read about his incredible attitude, entrepreneurial spirit, and tragic story here. He’s one of the most inspiring people I’ve come across in a long time.
He even wrote a book when he was 14, Don’t Tell me I Can’t, which I highly recommend- if for nothing else, for a new perspective on life.
Cheers,
