Dirt Catharsis III: self-seeding
I was just reading a blog post in which I weighed past decisions against where I am now . I tell you there's been a lot of angry going on around here. At the moment of this writing, I have been paid for a piece of art, I am expecting payment on another that's been sold at a local exhibit; I have been paid for two freelance editing jobs; I have been paid for books sold - mycelium. xPoetry - both through Amazon KDP and from a neat little pop-up in Texarkana (I don't say whether it's Arkansas or Texas because honestly I don't know.) I'm all over the place and raking in pennies. Pennies are good. I'm not supporting myself this way yet, but I am paying bills with ROI. It feels good.

I had a true and supportive partner once, and it showed: we brewed our own beer
