A cup of tea by my hand, computer before me, and I am ready to do nothing. I wish I could. I've been out of a job for what seems like ages, and even though I am working on trying to scrape a little here and there, it's not making enough to make the ends meet. and what is always worse is that the ends get farther away with each day. But I keep going. Keep looking for a job... and keep hoping.
The shitty thing is that I am stuck here all the time. I can't tell you how much I just want to get away for a bit, and not having a job as an excuse to get away just adds to the shitty. And the worst part about not getting away is the waning desire to move after so long. It's like a pile of concrete that constantly needs to be removed before you feel like moving. Everyday there is more concrete at the feet, and I'm tired of moving it.
Okay, but enough bitching... I've been doing all sorts of things to keep me motivated to move. I have small things to do, like maintain my Etsy shop and try to come up with any other ways to make come cash. I've also been trying to keep busy with small things here and there like sketches and keeping the webcomics updated.
And lastly, I've been slowly working on the children's book. My goal is to be ready for print by mid October. but like everything else, I still have to removed the proverbial concrete before I get to working on that. It's been slow, but there has been progress. That in mind, I'm going to finish my daily job search and get to work on something...

Dumping Photos
It's been a while since I've posted anything, so I'm catching up on some photos that I've been taking. Loving the new camera. Still sorting out all the features. Feeling pretty good about what I've learned and I can't wait to see what else I can do.
On a more personal note, going through some tough times. Not just the quarantine stuff, but seems my marriage is done. Trying to keep busy and remain hopeful. I have goals for myself and I'm not giving up.
I managed to get some things accomplished in this turmoil. Another book published, another book started, another in the editing phase, and I started work on my book of poetry that I exp
New Year, New Goals
So I try every year to improve myself in small ways to eventually see a huge change in me. I am not the same person I was five years ago. In five more years, I will yet be a changed person again. Some core things remain, like my values and love for creativity and my open heart and mind. But even those evolve with time. I know I am more relaxed over all than I was before, and I feel that is due to the small changed in my mind through the years. This comes from learning from my experiences.
This year, I have some lofty goals, some mid range and then some simple ones. There are the basic ones involving financial security for myself and s
My Inktober2019
So, every year I felt like the opportunity passed me by, and this year I've decided that will not happen again. So I've been doing my own ink drawings. From what I gather, the idea is to improve your skills. I have a lot of room for improvement. So, I decided that I would draw faces for the month. I am terrible at faces. And I erase a lot when I sketch. This has been a fun and challenging project, but I'm pleased with the outcome. Even if I'm kinda rubbish at it sometimes.
But, Art I will do! Keep challenging yourself, right? And I will.
Wow... hanging with Bob Camp
