So the mental health and artists book is done and published. Fits the very definition of "slim volume", but still worth it. It was good to work with Kevin.

But.. what next? The agent never responded on Inky, which is fine, but why haven't I sent it elsewhere? I always manage to find some other project - cleaning, editing someone else's work, preparing for a party -- to avoid doing the work needed to move on to other things. It's not just laziness, then. It's something else. Why such a lack of ambition? Maybe it is laziness, since in my current set up, I don't have to fully commit to anything, including work. And there is nothing that carries over into my homelife. With the kids off living their lives, it really is time to get one of my own!
