Checking-In

Whaddup, whaddup, friends? It’s 2022. The double-deuce. Is everyone’s year as sweet as mine is so far? The first week of my year has been spent… working on writing a magic book. If you’ve never written a magic book, or any book, and you think you’d like to, here’s a little inside tip for you: It’s not fun! You know that magic book you heard about five years ago and it still hasn’t come out? That’s because writing books sucks balls. I spent a year creating material, performing material, testing different variations, and outlining and drafting stuff for the upcoming book—none of that is easy. But the real hard part is sitting down at that desk and trying focus and get everything down on the page. Yes, yes, I know your job sucks too. Give me a paragraph once a year to moan a bit. Jeez.

Do you build stuff, craft stuff, design stuff, or have any other skill that might be useful to someone like me? In the past I’ve tried to make note whenever someone says something like, “Hey, I could make a gimmicked wallet for you if you ever have an idea you want to try,” or things like that. But I never had a good system to keep track of such offers, and most are lost somewhere in my email. So if you’ve offered something in the past, or have some skill you think I might find useful in the future, go ahead and send me an email and let me know (again or for the first time). And if you can link to some examples of your work, whatever that may be, that might help inspire some ideas as well. I’m going to try to do better at keeping track of the resources I have amongst the people who regularly read this site. (Of course, you’d be paid for any work you did on a project. I’m not asking for free work or anything like that. I’m not a creep.) Thanks.

If you’re a supporter of the site, the next issue of the newsletter should be in your email this weekend.

If you’ve got a Grindr date with either of these two, I have a good idea how it’s going to end.

“Nope.”

Really?

Well now I’m kind of fascinated to find out what things this guy does know.
