Gah, I feel like every time I make good feedback on my achilles injury, I move the wrong way and worsen it.
Last week I couldn't even stand in a walking boot. This week, though, I'm a little better but not better enough!

A little snippet of guitar practice. I'm thinking of doing another 100 video run just to show where I land from here.

WORDS NOT PAGES lol
In true Mark fashion, I have been writing a short story since this post, I'm about 4500 pages written.
It started as a script/screenplay and now I'm just writing it as a short story that may turn into a script again in the future. But the key point is just writing and writing and writing.

Lately the bee in my bonnet has been a desire to write and direct.

My friend released his latest game on Steam today! Roguelike pinball. What’s not to love?!
To celebrate, I’m giving away five free copies. If you’re a mutual and interested in playing, either reply on the thread, or shoot me a DM

Another Capital P practice session. I'm coming out the other side of the mud, as it were, and I'm starting to feel motivated again. I can now shoot some videos again.

I tried practicing quietly this morning in the bedroom while the CF was asleep, but she said it woke her up. I'm going to have to go into the closet!

Usually my right forearm/hand is feeling the burn after a long guitar practice. Today, my left hand is really feeling it and I'm sweating a bit.
My left-handed lunacy campaign is working lol

One of the neighborhood kiddos knocked on my door at 8PM and asked if the heir could come out and play.
8 is bedtime. But because I'm trying to let him have fun experiences and a "90s" summer. I let him go out for 45 minutes and then he came back safely.
I did this in the 80s, glad he could too.
