Yesterday, I finished book 3 to "Portrait of an Artist As a Young Undiagnosed Autistic Boy" and today wrote a 230 word short called "Bits." Hope to write nothing but shorts the rest of the month.

2022 ended up being much better than 2021, and has a weird Munsters theme that I never caught at the time.

Crime author Patricia Highsmith influences my writing greatly but today I'm going to focus on her Tom Ripley series of books. I recently reread all five of them and deduced that Highsmith may have been autistic.

How do #actuallyautistic artists deal with being invisible in reference to their art?
You have no friends or family as a psychological or spiritual support?
How do you keep from disappearing completely and pack it in?
