Is this why trad pub is so alluring? Just let me do my thing, someone else bangs their head against the wall? (Or, just let me tell the story of the hero fighting the dragon, and not be fighting the dragon while telling the story?)
My life revolves around trying t make the world a better placeβ¦being able to keep the lights on and food on the table, and keeping my word to people throughout it all.
Fighting dragons while telling the story is all I know.
I don't feel as though you need to apologize, but rather, that I need to apologize.
Your stories have become a sort of "safe space" in my own mind, to unwind, and just breathe in some good thoughts, and stories.
Life has become terribly busy, and kind of thrown me on my head, everything being upside down, so I'm not able to dedicate near as much time to absorbing your stories, as I once was.
Thanks for continuing to share your amazing stories with us, despite our lack of commitment.
You're incredible, and have an amazing gift for brightening the lives of those who are lucky enough to have found your stories.
Man, that was awesome. I've had similar tendencies and reflections on my own writing projects lately. Just completely cleared my schedule. starting fresh, big breath, coming in swinging. Looking forward to reading your new stories. You're probably over 400 now, so you can do anything...
No worries, Jaime, and no need to apologize! Life happens, and it happens nonlinearly.
Had someone ask, "So, Jaime, how's life treating you?"
...and I thought or ol' Norm from CHEERS.
"Like a baby treats a diaper."

Ditto @Ian Dunmore
Could be.
Not sure.
Iβve never wanted to go trad.
β¦as in ever.

Thankyou, and please continue the great work.
Thank you for the kind words, Hyrum.
Appreciate you, buddy.
I just...want to focus more on the experience.
As for you -- I'd like to provide more audio.
I know that circumstances aren't always great with the noise I have to deal with, but I've been provided all the equipment from subscribers.
I'd like to do more.
Hope you're well, my friend.
Life seems to be crazy now for everyone.
Hang in there.
Hey, life happens sometimes! Just got to do your best to roll with the punch and get back up
But I donβt WANNA to roll with the punch.
β¦Iβd rather side-step, grab that punch and throw my hip back, launching the aggressor into the brick-walled corner.
Ya know?
But if you roll with the punch, you can use life's momentum against it, then slam an uppercut that life feels two generations back!
Which might count as time travel...
ooooo.
I like youβre thinking, Kummer.
My usually tactic would be to clip it with my mini-van, but okay!

I love you dad!
I'm here cheering you on. You definitely create a place that I love to come to.
.........
Yes, please gather your friends for Fiction Cartel! I miss those so much!

Thabk you Jud.
Yup, inched over 400...but the path and efforts reamin the same. It would eventually happen.
Next milestone is 1000...so I can love, adore and hopefully entertain them.
Hope you enjoy yourself here, Jud.
Thank you for commenting. π
