To those who’ve glimpsed through, taken a gander, and favored a passage or two, I thank you. And would like to share my appreciation for the support and favored reads you’ve liked. It means a lot.
My first year using WordPress was essentially a bust. I was lazy and felt that with the year and a half, maybe two years under my belt of college, would have been enough to have me appropriately conducting the right times, to drop the right perspectives, and sharing aspects through every other social media platforms possible and reaching out to and talking with others, what are they called? Influencers, yes, and entrepreneurs.
I’m not being smug nor am I intending on being coy, there’s a lot on my mind. I wasn’t consistent, I came in with this idea to write short stories, then wanted to incorporate quotes, then cooking recipes, sandwiches, chili, and occasional doodles, nothing of substance just a brief intro of what may be stimulating but lacking in most areas of support. Along with that I’d make these stupid promises and intended dates do story drops that borough nothing but a lack of everything. Yeah I gave MS, yeah the ADHD is sometimes a problem but I needed better focus, needed more accountability for what, who, and how I stand as me being me.
The last couple years have been more than stressful, seven years for striving to build a marriage all to be told separation was all that was wanted, prior to that Grand mother, mother, cousin, uncle, and my brother died. Then there’s also my brother that I wrote about last night, the weight that still resides from that taste left in the mouth and wanting to help someone who comes off injured and disregarding an aid due to pride. Then there is the likely ‘depression’, still not sure and not diagnosed just feel off. But I try to distance myself from this and that while being a clarity to things I can control.
Which brings me to now, January 20th and 21st, 2024. My goals from here on out for DreamDarkStories is this:
- January will be a maintaining of daily journal entries that cover a portion of who I am and where my heart is in perspectives and values.
- February, March, and April will be a slow release of art and stories that share my values and start veering focus toward DreamDarkStories. With this will be maintained daily journal entries, weekly page or two drop for a story or two, and up and coming apart works.
- May, June, July, and August I will be sharing along with all mentioned above in this list, my regiment of how I take care of myself, how I train my dog Lobo and his growth while sharing the introspective value of tying everything together through focus and accountability. Maybe minor being a father and husband thoughts too.
- September, October, and November will be contain what’s mentioned above, also finished drops of short stories edited and finished, hopeful progress seen in my marriage for myself, health progress, leading to…
- December where I will be compiling a first anthology collection of short stories shared, a finishing of The Walker Memoirs (I’ve been quietly and somewhat privately working on this the last year), and my first attempt at publication.
So come with if you will, I appreciate the support, invite the questions, and would joyously accept input.
Goodnight and Good morning, Good morning and Goodnight.
