Alright! How you manage to write so much is a mystery to me, but I’ll keep on puffing to keep up! Perhaps on these issues some extended, multi-party, truth-corralling dialogues will materialize. Hope so.
Thanks Frank! As for how I write so much: I sometimes describe it like this, that there is always an incoming tide of thoughts in my head, and if I do not offload them into words it drowns me (resulting in either insomnia or depression, depending on the thoughts in question). It has therefore become a pillar of my 'mental health', as they say, to write, to get the thoughts out onto paper. Nothing has helped ground me more than making the time to write, which I do every day.
I would love to attempt to barter creatively! This is a gravely important conversation to be having - and I'd rather not just have it inside my own head with myself.
Hey Isaac (I assume you'd prefer this to J. Isaac, but let me know)!
Thanks for the offer to barter! I'll happily trade you a year's subscription to Stranger Worlds for anything creative you have to offer. For instance, I see you're a game writing student. If you have a rough cut game you've delivered (even a Twine game), I'd accept that in barter for your subscription. Alternatively, I'll take a photograph you've taken that you think has aesthetic merit, or indeed literally anything else you'd like to offer me that is your own creation.
Be aware that I sit quite outside and apart from the conventional political camps, but that I am more than willing to have discussions with everyone wherever they are coming from. That possibility of encounter is one of the purposes of Stranger Worlds, since discourse is struggling these days, and one of the reasons is that people are limiting who they are willing to talk to. I endeavour to remain open to everyone, and to keep the spirit of Enlightenment discourse alive.
I'll send you an email using your subscription address so we can take this forward.
Did you receive the email, Isaac...? I sometimes get hit for spam since we torched our Google accounts at my company. (I'm sure it's not malicious... just 'business'. 😂)
If you did, but are holding back to get me something wonderful, please know that the purpose of the creative barter is merely as a weak barrier-to-entry to raise the quality of discussions here. I'm not looking for masterpieces, just something you can gift me (a copy of), and anything will do!

Many thanks for being there to read!

Will keep my eyes open and ready my spirit for these strange(r) worlds.
