    An artist needs inspiration and I just am inspired to write lately. How have you been Iggy? Sure you weren't just sore with me over something? Most people don't talk to me because they are sore about something. I don't feel like I am an artist most days - I sing and play instruments more than art lately. I have been doing tarot readings and live music when I can muster the courage. Steemit isn't worth the effort of new work - so if I find the inspiration despite steemit I am sure I would get back into posting my work. There are plenty of artist that do a far better job than I, on here. I think the magic is just gone for me.

    I have a few places I can put my work up and have been focused on getting my existing art into real hands. I actually do a lot of trades for my art now and people buy me a beer or two for a reading. Gets me out and socializing

    My hair has been super short for sometime, I am a redhead now.

      I've been good, other than facing a accident that had the possibility to financially ruin me, but rather it seems I survived it with just few bruises (metaphor, nothing happened to me but rather materialistic damage). I had to move away for sometime due to this and that's why I couldn't contact you when I saw you pop back up here. So no, no soreness :) Have you provided me reasons to be sore over though?! Freshen my memory, heh. I know it isn't my place to advice, but if this is a regular occurrence, perhaps you're being a bit too direct with people?

      Oh, well you're being creative and that's what matters. Bit sad you aren't doing art anymore though, I think you were on to something with that wood burning stuff! But I get excited easily when it comes to art and creativity :) You did have your unique touch and view though! I remember a lot of stuff from you:

      • The cartoon about depression (Unique display of hard topic that we rarely get to see)
      • Your avatar works for others (those were superb in style, I digged the style a lot)
      • Of course your painting for my sister (I still have a paper copy of it on my wall, will eventually print it out for myself also, I promise!)
      • The wood burning pieces like the one with waves and the phoenix. (I think with practice these could become real selling pieces there in Canada, people love wood, right?)

      And you're correct, one shouldn't be doing things just to post them to Steemit, rather treat it just as another place to share their stuff. Otherwise you just get burned out quick. There's always someone better than out there, technically at least, but that's a limited number of people and they can't all be doing the same stuff, the same way.

      Have you searched online places to sell your work like Etsy?

      Good that you're getting out there, refreshes the mind... Super short as shorter than shoulder length?! Redheads might be my favorite actually, good pick!

      Hmm I am just an angry writer I guess. A lot of pent up aggression.

      Sorry to hear you went through troubles.

      I always feel an air of chilliness between us somehow. Like you want to tell me how it is - but you don't. I thought you were sore because it felt like a social game we both weren't into.

      I don't dig fake situations lately and steemit has always been rather fake, a lot of places online are rather fake though - so what can you do?

      I am only direct to people on here. I don't really interact the same in real life. In real life -People just tend to use me to dump all their emotional shit on and I keep quiet and listen. In-fact I am really sweet when I first meet people. Give- em just enough social rope and watch and see if they choke themselves on it. People like to talk and it is in my listening that I determine whether it's even worth my time. My actual problem is that not a lot of people out there are worth my time. I am good with being alone apposed to being with people that make me feel uncomfortable for being me.

      My hair is as short as Steve Carells

      It hasn't been that long since I posted art, sometimes the art is here I just don't feel like making posts about it. I just put it on the marketplace and say bye-bye.

        Can't help but remember all the time that this is a public forum as a private person, for that reason I've asked you to join Discord before. And I've never played any social games with you, nor do I have interest to do such things with anyone else either. It's a surprise that you've felt that way. Personally I do miss our conversations! And there's no trickery of any kind behind my words here, but you know, upvote for upvote ;) And that's a joke!

        I guess we all have to find a way to let steam off somehow, writing angrily isn't the worst method by any means :) For me it's exhausting myself physically through exercise accompanied by music. Boring, I know, but it works for me. I've never been angry person though, or perhaps there just hasn't been any good reason to be one so far, who knows in the end. Trump though, that guy almost manages to make my blood boil, WTF?!

        And I know what you mean, if you let people talk, they will. Sometimes I'm surprised of what they're willing to tell, emotional dumping is a fitting word. When it comes to meeting new people and enjoying solitude we're the same, except I'm not quite sure what you mean by this "giving the rope and see if they choke on it" :)

        Well that's shorter than my hair then. How does it feel compared to longer hair you had before? Miss it much or not at all?

        I like you Iggy lets not worry about it.

        I have short hair and it feels great. The long hair was getting frizzed out and I hated having to straighten it or curl it all the time. Now I rub my head when I am thinking deeply and it feels great.

          I tried to grow long hair but damn, at one point when the hair isn't really long but not short either, it becomes a nightmare to have it manageable and look somewhat in control... so short hair it is for me :) Welcome to the easy hair life club ;)
