Well, thanks for stopping by and commenting. I wrote Chapter 1 night before last. I am going through something very intense right now, and writing helps. The story line really is about having thought I was supposed to be a full-time artist and thereby not really learning any other skills which has left me in this situation - but now I am writing Chapter 3 and it is about Steemit letting me down too - Steemit really saved me for 2 years starting in 2016 and pushed me forward through a lot of obstacles - and now it's feeling quite dead in a lot of ways. i have the now-and-then times when I meet someone like you - but it used to be that we all talked to each other this way - we were all so happy to have found a way to communicate and there was money to be made - here- on steemit - but that seems to have evaporated  - at least for me. Yea - like I said, I am just going through something right now - I am hitting another bottom - let's say - regarding living - and I am facing some truths - and I am working my way through it. but yea - sounds like the blacksmithing gig should be great. Stay tuned to Mark Passio - he should be starting up his new video podcast soon.
