Fans? That's a new concept for me...Ok, well...Once a very good friend told me I was her hero...She had gotten married young & had children & a mortgage & responsibilities, well, I, was still wild & crazy & living free...Truth is I didn't know any better...I was still trying to figure things out & felt that I certainly wasn't good enough until I did...I needed to have some sort of career & self-respect before I could hitch my ride to someone else...But women liked me for the way I had somehow evaded the inevitable...Wait this is not what you were asking was it? Fans...People who like me I like them right back...I need & love support...As an artist, I have a soft underbelly...I think it comes with the job...You can't care deeply & be hard at the same time...Fans...Yeah I need fans...All those years of trying to formulate medical ideas, all those years of sounding like a lunatic-that's when I needed fans the most...Turns out I married my biggest fan...A guy, a man, who lets me be free, but married at the same time...We didn't have children though...Possibly a big regret, possibly a big relief...I am told parenting comes with much cleaning...I am a messy person, so have concluded that perhaps parenting would not have been right for me either...On the other hand, with this book, Grove Body Part Chart:A medical Arts Innovation, it's like I am an uberparent...Theoretically I could be teaching millions of people how to save their own lives...That's a whole lot of parenting, just on a bigger scale...Phew...Next question?

Oh Lord! That's a big question...Honestly? Gorgeousness first...Been sitting around in my bathrobe drinking tea or coffee while trying to edit this book...My gorgeousity has suffered...Need to get some fresh air, some exercise...Spiffy myself up a bit...Reconnect with the husband...I feed Trumpeter swans from November to April...That takes up much of the next 6 months...Connecting with them each winter allows me time to regroup...Regroup my brain...In terms of a work project, ask me again when winter is done & the swans have spoken...We'll see how it goes...

It sounds so trite, but I really did enjoy Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead when I was just a blonde pile of jelly...My brother gave me Kurt Vonnegut books...Later he gave me Milan Kundera books...Much later he gave me Tom Robbins books...My brother, who is 6 years older than me, has tended to be the culture bringer...Ok Stephen King books & later Anne Rice books were my own choices...Why is horror so well written? I guess my favorite author is Michael Crichton...I think I have read all his books, though I cheated a bit on the non science fiction ones...The New Testament changed my life...That's a GOOD book! (I like the Old Testament too, don't get me wrong, but I knew that one already growing up...)

Mostly just the thought of a giant cup of strong tea with milk & maybe a sweetener...Also because I have to pee...

Thinking, eating, sleeping, taking baths, cleaning out litter boxes, looking at myself, reading facebook & twitter &
blogs, making art, walking very far, talking to strangers & patting their dogs...I used to run but now I am afraid that running too much will make me old faster...At 47 years old I fear aging...Half my life was driven by sex, I fear if I lose my sex drive I will have no drive at all?

I have an art biz coach who suggests things to read...Mostly work related...But work is my life so that works...

No but I remember the first story my brother wrote...It was brilliant...Science fiction...A man enters a painting...He is in a store staring at a painting & he enters it somehow...Opens his eyes & he is inside the work...On a planet...Very close to a giant hole...The ground is like ice but cuts his feet...He walks in a shuffle walk, like a duck, so he doesn't cut his feet...It was cold...It goes on...I remember thinking that my brother was a genius...I still think that about him...

I'm not really a writer...I'm more of a thinker...I think things that are important, that I think are important, then I spend as little time as possible somehow getting them out of my head & onto somewhere more physically reachable...My goal is to convey that content into your head...Probably my failing is that I don't spend enough time on foreplay...I just want the reader to get the point & I don't take them out for a nice dinner beforehand...I could work on that...

Started reading when I was just a beanpod...reading was my best friend...My first readings were all cereal boxes...I wondered at what Niacin was...Potassium...Ingredient lists...Then the newspaper...Globe & Mail usually...Later the only reading I could find at our cottage were old Playboy magazines...Ok it was not the only reading...I loved reading the questions & answers by the centrefold girls...I loved how stupid they were...It confirmed to me that only stupid women would get naked for money...I read Jaws, then the Other Side of Midnight, then Star Wars before it was a movie...Those were early reads that made a big impact...

Ahhh...Wow! Ok...Well I was trying to make a movie...So I used a 2d animation program & hand drew each cell & made an animated film of my medical ideas...But it wasn't good enough for me...So I discovered Blender 3d animation software...This could make a better movie...I set out to make a better movie...Turns out Blender is like the hardest steepest most difficult did I say hardest, thing to learn...I did learn Blender...Not ALL of Blender, no one can...It was 6 months in to learning this program that I decided that a movie might be too difficult...So I made a book instead...Used the stills from Blender as the artwork...The cover image is a completely created in Blender image...It looks like a photograph...But it is actually a still of an animation where liquid is pouring into a glass...

Putting the book on my website as a pdf embed & letting people read it for free...So far 2 thousand & twenty people have read my book...If I had sat on my thumbs & waited for each book to sell, not even ten years from now would I have had so many people already read my ideas...This is just after a few months...
