The shortform nature of this platform and how I'll use it means I'm not sure about sharing personal issues or if I should. That said; long-term complications from #cancer survival are killing me right now (Doctors think maybe 3 years.) My posts will sometimes be informed by this. Your warning...
Between the lack of engaging content on @bsky.app , my inability to get any engagement on this platform, and all the kink/adult stuff that still manages to get rammed into my eyes despite my attempts to the contrary, it's looking like it's time to go.

So, still recovering from a mass of trauma when... SURPRISE... new #music by #Robyn!
What? Hey, I know I don't look the part, but I really dig her stuff. And if you've heard my @mixcloud.bsky.social station, No Genre Needed, you'd know I'm all about music. ALL MUSIC.

My last 2 dedicated readers have #book 6 in my #fantasy series and I'm nervous and emotionally drained.
A Bedtime Tale isn't just a series I'm #writing, it's my end of life therapy. In it I'm revealing and working out a lot about myself as I get ready to die.
Here's a pre stroke colorized #sketch.

My #art, post stroke, continues to improve. Except this isn't my style I've been using for nearly 15 years; it's like something I used back in early college?
Eh. I'll take it.
Looks like I'm almost strong enough to #illustrate my #book, again. Thanks for the encouragement, @bob-case.bsky.social

This past month after the stroke's been full of relearning things; walking, using my left arm, talking, handwriting, and... painfully... #art.
I did, however, manage #writing #book six in my #fantasy series. Threw some color on a pre stroke #sketch to celebrate?
Ugh. Still so much to relearn...

Reconnected with a young man, now a father, who I mentored in my sword fighting faire days. Not sure if it was harder for me to tell him the news of my incoming end, or for him to hear it.
But it got me to thinking on a show I made a while back; sharing my inner world with any who would hear...

Today's big win was old coworker/friends from the @alleninstitute.org who graciously volunteered some of today to come over and help sort out the old crow's nest as I really can't now.
I often battle loneliness dealing with what's happening to me, but today I was reminded I wasn't alone.
Thanks.

With #DiaDeLosMuertos & #Halloween fast approaching, and the past 2 weeks still fresh on my mind, I've started to wonder what, if anything, will anyone remember about my #Life, hopes, dreams, triumphs, and #Love.
I try to learn everyone's #story so I can take it with me, but who even knows mine?
