Hindsight

...Righty oh.  What a year so far, eh?

Also, apologies for not attending to things here like I used to.  Turns out trying to juggle a retail career with creative activities is not a good idea.  Who knew? (ie. me)

I've had to do a lot of rethinking these past few months, what with working through the lockdown and all. I've been watching other creative types struggle with isolation and not being able to make the stuff they want.

YouTube has become a depressing experience with some channels: I've seen creators try to make different types of content than their usual fare, only to get a little too easily frustrated; I've seen creators get into arguments with fans who are unhappy with the newer content; I've even seen a video with the creator lying on the floor of his living room.  He'd spent the entire day there, not even bothering to go to the bathroom properly.  NOT GOOD.

I was getting a little too involved with what was going on, so I had to unplug for a week.  In that time, I've reflected on my older works - most of which I've not touched in almost a decade - and for the first time in a long time, I feel productive again.

So... maybe watch this space for a bit...?  And thank you to all the people out there, trying to keep us entertained as best as they could during this difficult time.  I hope you're all okay.

I will be.  I'm not going anywhere just yet.
