Another week and some days have passed
and I felt it was about time to update you on my Hypersensitivosaurus and Cold Turkey story, once again...
Please don't tell anyone... I have been sharing my ongoing creativity in other places - cheating on my first love: Hive. Sleeping with the enemy or whatever kind of dramatic metaphor you want to use. I haven't forgotten you though.
Just don't want to spread myself too thin ( whether I'm called Skinny Vinny or not )...
In all honesty, I haven't been able to focus on my creativity much, in the last week and a half or so,
and for good reasons...
The first couple of days since my previous progress blog The Chase - Part 2 - Another Illustration for my Book, my creative absence was due to living life and being social.
The last couple of days, my lack of creativity has had to do with using almost all of my brain power, to focus on crypto and especially on trying to recover some lost funds for both myself and a neighbor/ friend.
More on that can be read in DeFi(nitely) not for the Faint of Heart and its follow up How I got Scammed like a Noob after 4 Years in Crypto
And then, yesterday, the day before yesterday and today,
something happened that made me have to summon all my ZEN and calm to stay focused:
As if out of nowhere, somebody showed some serious interest in my mountain hamlet house, where I haven't been staying since September last year.
I'm referring to the house on the ( not haunted ) hill with the amazing balcony view. The house that has been for sale since November last year where I used to spend my former hermit life.
A digital version of this piece, one of my personal favorites, is for sale in my NFT showroom gallery here
Which brings me to the point that I wanted to make with this write up ( I almost forgot. Thank you Hermit! ):
Even though I might be selling my house in the not too distant - or possibly pretty near - future, I am still looking for more ways to be financially healthy. Something I have been trying to work toward - more or less actively - since I graduated from University in 2007.
In other words, all kinds of ( preferably passive ) income streams are welcome.
It so happened that I recently stumbled upon a platform called Ko-Fi ( https://ko-fi.com ). Although I first thought it was very similar to Patreon ( where I dabbled with little success in the past ), I soon found out that it seems to fit me a lot more ( and not just because coffee, the drink/ drug, and I have been in a love/hate relationship for a long, long time. Let me not bore you with the reasons. It just feels worth a serious try.
Let's conclude by saying that - from now on - I will do my best to get people to support me on my creative journey by donating to me on my Ko-Fi page
FYI: Coffee is cheap in Portugal, it is considered a human right for each and every Portuguese citizen. No kidding. Therefore, there's a lock on the price of it ( I believe it's around 70 or 80 cents, wherever you are ), unless you go to Starbucks or fancy, hipster coffee places.
So, a couple of dollars will go a long way ;<)
It would be awesome if you want to support me there and actually contribute to my creative journey. This way I won't have to keep selling my cryptocurrency in order to survive haha!
I will do my utmost best to share my creative process in a more profound way on there, to make it worthwhile for those who supply me with the one and only drug that I just can't seem to quit.
Thank you!
If you'd rather buy me something healthy and you're active on Hive,
you can also buy me berries and send me some HBD:
