Ramadhan - Creativity Twenty-Two

Twenty-Two Day

Today it's talk. See below. 'Me' is my wonderful friend Janine. 'Yoshi' is me. She sent me this conversation we had online five minutes ago since I neglected to save it properly (something I always do with online conversations.) Although I did create a couple of written things on paper at work today, I don't want to share them with you. So instead I share this, a brief glimpse into the life of a working artist as he speaks to a close friend. There you have it.

I'd also like to add that I did a very wonderful picture on Microsoft Paint yesterday at work, on one of the older PC's, so I couldn't get the picture from that computer to this one (no internet access either) so until I can figure out if that's possible then yesterday (day 21) may well be the first day with nothing on it. And that's absolutely fine with me. It's fine, like people getting colds, it happens and there isn't much you can do about it. Peace and love. Y.
