Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything long-form. I think this has been my longest gap?
I’ve gone through my old posts and even though I’d said I was going to leave them alone, I didn’t. I’ve deleted the ones that I was most unhappy with. And the ones I thought I’d feel sheepish about if my family read them… Because eventually, I’m sure someone will link my identity to here and if/when that happens, I don’t want to feel bad about anything.
While writing less has been personally disappointing, I’ve shifted my focus to other things, so it isn’t all bad.
For those of you who’ve followed along, you all know that I’m producing a board game. It’s taken a huge precedence in my life, which has been unexpectedly delightful and fulfilling. And as far as writing goes, there’s plenty of copy to be done… Its own insanely intimidating task- as my identity will be linked to that bit :/
I know it may seem crazy that I’m still proceeding in producing a children’s game despite our unstable economic conditions. But I don’t care. I’m not doing it for the money (although I do hope for financial success). And don’t get me wrong, it is unnerving. I could financially blow my life up! However, I think the risk of not completing the task is greater. Because leaving the game unfinished could sink my soul.
Which is more important- the money or my soul? And if the game is successful… ?
I’m approaching everything as strategically and methodically as possible, to reduce my financial risk as best I can. Hopefully this counts for something.
Anyway–
I might further restructure my site, and I’m not sure yet how… Currently, I have been writing every two or three days in the little page called ‘Skimps’. The whole point of that page is to just try to write something sometimes… and then let it go. I don’t know why I called it ‘skimps’, other than the intention being to keep it short, skimpy, and less ‘dressed/structured?’. Does that make sense?
Anyway, thanks to all of you who’ve taken the time to read my stuff this past couple years. Especially those of you who’ve reached out to me. It means the world.
Cheers,
Houserat Zero
