I hope to finish illustrating this book by October 25 of this year. I have no problem giving away the store as far as content of future books I someday expect people to pay money for. I will only print up one hundred copies of issue 4. My online audience is so small that I anticipate I will run into people at conventions and out in the world who are not at all familiar with my work, and I can sell to them.
I thought about what it might be like to actually go on a date with that former cashier after I played out last night. I imagined "offering criticism" from me towards her as one of the primary activities I actually wanted to participate in on our first date, Then I thought, that doesn't sound like any date I would want to be on, whether I was the one being criticized or the one so helpfully offering up the criticism.
What I actually try to do when I attempt to get to know someone better, and a date is a good way to do that; what I try to do on a date or even an approach for a potential date is assess whether or not the person I have an interest in can meet some minimal requirements for further inquiry from me. When I approached the former cashier for a date in October of 2021, I felt as if I did my job in meeting minimal requirements for an approach of that nature, but that she failed to meet minimal requirements in responding to my overture, so I cut her loose.
So yeah, I still feel that same way about our whole deal. If I'm to be brutally honest about her lack on interest in me altogether, I'd say I did the right thing in letting her go in January of 2022. Nothing about her since then has me convinced that she ever had enough of an interest in me to warrant any kind of further effort by me to get with her.
