Alan Moore once said "Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images, to achieve changes in consciousness... Indeed to cast a spell is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change people's consciousness, and this is why I believe that an artist or writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world to a shaman." I'm just here trying to successfully execute some magic. If you like what you've read, there's more stories on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/s?i=digital-te... If you REALLY like what you read, think about throwing a few dollars after an e-book. If everyone reading this right now paid $3, I would have like $9. But it would only take 10,000 people paying $3 for me to make a living doing this. (Yes I could live on that.) There probably are 10,000 people out of the 7 billion in the world who would be willing to pay that. It could be you! If you support my creative project, I'll support yours! !end me your link. It could turn into a some kind of whole creative-go-around system. I have some notion that I should keep a mailing list. Email me to be added: a.andiron@protonmail.com. Fear not the spam. This list isn't some vast database of contacts, it's more like a friends-and-family thing. Besides, my productivity is so low, you'll probably wish to see more emails from me, not fewer. Or just follow me on here, I suppose.
