I am working. I am busy writing. I don’t go around hacking people’s private DM’s on both Twitter and Instagram and emails and my computers and cellphones and Apple, Amazon, Verizon, Xfinity, Etsy, Pinterest accounts to steal content. I can’t put *anything* online because my privacy is compromised DAILY. Like what was already stolen wasn’t enough.
Even right my Google searches. And you what I am not even mad. So why are you mad?!
I have to do things like Christopher Nolan now. Completely OFFLINE. The old fashion way. I have Banker’s Boxes - I call them my baby tinderboxes, anyway they are stacked high to the ceiling. I am working from three desks, one drafting table and I just ordered another desk. I got the table tops but I am still waiting on the legs. It’s a large motorized standing desk!! I’m so excited to get it. https://image.nostr.build/d441740698c4d7024520237df19b85e24dae47e25c1069bef1f80ace74fd0339.jpg
This is my process. I actually sit down and write!! And that takes time.
I’m just so happy right now. The past doesn’t even matter to me. Honestly, I’m like Isaac Asimov. I am literally overwhelmed with creativity and imagination. I can’t get it down fast enough.
I believe this is God’s gift to me. God said He will restore what the locusts have stolen. I feel as if I’m writing supernaturally. It just flows even more than ever. https://image.nostr.build/5973bfb3994e4abd071e1438bd8da2e2cd22a37cb35cfe9049de07974cb71159.jpg
Not Destroyed. Not Defeated. I Am More Than A Conqueror. Fun Fact: Ernest Hemingway lost two years of writing - every manuscript, rough draft, scribble and handwritten note - all gone in an instant. His wife packed all of his writings in a giant suitcase and someone stole it. So what did he do? He just kept writing more. What I learned from that is there will always be thieves. Takers are gonna take. But likewise writers are gonna write. No one can steal what’s inside!! https://image.nostr.build/0238a84434c739e5edfa058bc3d1ceeb6089ed385d54436ede7059ab402d10bb.jpg
I don’t care if I have to write by scroll & feather and candlelight - absolutely nothing will keep me from writing. I will etch it on stone tablets with a chisel forged of flint, if I must - no matter how *long* it takes!!🪶 📜 🕯️🪨💥⛏️📚
