Look What the Cat Dragged In
Hello, My Darlings!!!!!
Surprise!!! Did you miss me???
Okay, seriously, I want to apologize for not being around since July. And right off the bat, I want to thank T. Mark Mangum for throwing me a shout-out just to check on me. You’ll never know what that did for my soul, brother.
I’m not going to lie or make up excuses. In all honesty, I was very disgruntled with this platform. I felt like I was working myself stupid for a few measly coins. It wasn’t fun anymore and wasn’t worth my time. In fact, I haven’t really written ANYTHING since August.
Part of the reason for that is because of my new job. I guess it's not so new anymore, I’ve been there for almost a year now. I work anywhere from 45 to 60 hours a week. And no, I’m not complaining. I’m thrilled to have a job that not only pays me better than my previous one, but I have a retirement plan for the first time in my life. I’m 10 years away from retirement eligibility, I need all the help I can get.
I have been keeping creative, however. I’ve done a lot of crocheting over the past few months. It’s very relaxing and helps my brain slow down. I’ve also been doing a lot of AI-generated images. In fact, I recently created a set of 12 images I call “The Priestly Caste”. I’m in the process of creating a backstory for each one and will hopefully…
