Hey ! I just hit 10k words for my work in progress. Only 110k more to go, haha. I am still at the beginning, but there is something special about hitting 5 digits that makes it feel real.

I am still going to try and make a video every day, because it has been helping me stay motivated with my art. But now I am going to post them exclusively on my website and here. No one is obliged to watch them, but if you want to hear me ramble, this is your chance!

Made some changes to my website. The only way to contact me online, other than through my website.

Goodnight . I had a great day and you were a big part of it.

Going to a birthday dinner this Friday. This is what is listed on the menu for dessert. I will report back just how chocolatey this cake is.

I deleted a lot of social media apps off my phone today. was not one of them.

No one has solved my cryptographic cipher yet. I have reason to believe there is some real cryptographic firepower working on it right now. At first I was worried that it would be solved right away before anyone really found out about this project. Now I am worried that they aren’t going to figure it out and no one is going to believe that this is real.

I don’t like being at the whim of algorithms. I hate using the bigger socials to try and talk about my art. I want to grow my art. It would be great if I could achieve a level of success where I could live off my art. But my real dream is to be important enough so I can stop using other social media sites and make people have to come find me here if they want to talk to me.

I have been promoting myself on social media for like 9 years. I have gotten some followers, gotten a few likes here and there but it hasn’t really done anything for my art as a “business.” The funny thing is that is a smaller community but people on here have actually bought my books and art. This isn’t the biggest social media site but the people here are real.

I was having a fairly good experience on Threads. Growing my following, getting engagement on my art. Then I posted too many links, especially to TikTok and it has rendered that platform unusable. It doesn’t show my posts to anyone anymore.

I have bipolar disorder. I made a long video about it tonight. I have had a long, difficult journey but I am in a really good spot in life. It feels good to talk about and I think it is good for people to hear who are still on, or just starting out that journey.

It’s been 8 days since I posted my cipher on the chatGPT subreddit. Everyone there was super smug saying how easy it would be for AI to decode but no one has posted a solution yet. Really pumped about this project!

On a related note, I reread the novel, Bell’s Codex for the first time in over two years yesterday and it was fun. I am proud of this story!

The more I use other social media sites it becomes clear that they try to guide you to make content that fits their ideas for the platform. Hiding content that they “don’t like” and actually showing the “acceptable” content to people. On I make a post and people see it. Seems simple but it makes me feel like I have a voice. Sorry you guys have to keep hearing me talk about my art though!

Grateful for Coso and my fellow .

Night, ! Good afternoon to those on the other sided the world.
