Early to bed.
I'm going to get back to recording the audiobook for Children of Doro, starting pre-dawn tomorrow.
I lost a lot of love for SF last year, and the state of the industry still leaves me feeling pretty ridiculous for ever caring as much as I once did about any of those life goals.
But the whole world's filled with shattered paradigms and lost hope and meaning, so...
We're going to try to rekindle joy in the work that once meant so much... one chapter at a time. 🤞
Night, beauties.
@MLClark
I so much hear what you, so eloquently, are saying .. losing love for a field, feeling "ridiculous" for ever believe, and oh, how true, "the whole world's full with shattered paradigms...". So many industries are falling into an abyss of malfunction, greed, imposture, mob and cynicism.
I so much hear you as you are going to the inner source, as it is, indeed, if not the only fountain left, it is for sure the richest one to 'rekindle joy'.
May the new chapter be luminous. ☀️
@MLClark Oh, you are too kind and generous. I did nothing other than resonate. And, I know a bit about the ...fountain and what it means to have to go there. We may have different paths, but do know that you are not alone. 😍
Thank you for these incredibly generous words, @artemis. I felt very "seen" in your empathetic description of this strange moment, and I really appreciated you taking the time to reach out and connect.
Many thanks to you for this kindness.
I hope my own little note finds you in the middle of a truly nurturing and restorative phase yourself. All best wishes, wherever life currently finds you!
