Just the personal blog.


Hello Everyone,

To be honest, this is hard for me to write. Where normally these nine fingers would fly across the keyboard, sometimes even typing a word I haven't thought of yet, today, they are dragging and causing typos.

It truly feels like they are reluctant to relay this message. No, I am not done writing, but for now, I have to stop with the blog. I thought it would help to gain an audience. To be brief, it hasn't.

Since we live on a fixed income that has not inflated, I can't afford to put time into things that aren't being reciprocated in some way. Especially here on Medium, I get no feedback other than a few claps here and there, and I've watched the stats that show that they didn't even read the story.

I've written quite a lot in the last four years, but have almost nothing to show for it. In all honesty, I have no idea what I'm doing. What I do know is: I like what I write and I have picky tastes. I hold my works to a very high self-critical standard. Not that that matters.

It's becoming more and more painfully obvious to me that, since I can't pay to promote my works, I'll never be able to gain the audience I'm looking for in a reasonable amount of time.

Unfortunately, we are at a critical mass when it comes to our financial situation. It's every day now that we are having to make tough decisions, and with an extremely limited diet, we are running out of options.

To reiterate, I'm not stopping writing. I plan to continue my resources blog and my writings, but I can't foresee any kind of regularity or tell you how frequently they may occur. I haven't even been making memes lately.

If and when I do develop an audience, I will most likely start writing a personal blog again. I do enjoy it, but that time needs to be afforded to something that's more constructive.

It's hard for me to type this because writing is fun for me, but we can't afford for me to put as much focus on it. It's also one of my only options considering my disability.

Even still, I've been updating my old custom Magic: The Gathering sets with my down time. It's easy to publish a bunch of pictures.

Lastly, I will still be doing updates about my writings.

Thank you so much for reading. Have a wonderful day….[[|:-)
