Oh man, where did 2020 come from?

In reflecting on things when one does at this time of the year, visiting this site and seeing update timestamps bearing “2018” made me a little sad. The good news is that this idea, this dream, the belief in the magic and power of words is all still alive and prominent in my life—it has moved its energy into different things, for now.

So I’ll keep the items that I was excited about and working on below, for that potential time when I decide to focus on exporting fiction. There’s a $500 hosting bill on its way come 2021 or so… that may provide a nice motivator 😉
