How, far as I know, my audience is tiny and mostly related closely by blood.

By the day, by the year, intermittent with no discernible pattern; it&#8217;s all good, for real.<\/p>\n<p>If you lose touch for a while, that will never be your fault. It just means I&#8217;m being self-indulgent and not crafting paragraphs in a way that spellbinds you and leaves you addicted to more the next day and every day. I&#8217;m not taking any blame for it either, because I never promised to &#8230; spilling means navel-gazing is legit, and spilling means sometimes you just mop it up quickly, skipping a week or a month, and move on.<\/p>\n<p>In one way I&#8217;m tempted to make this kind of channel update another regular thing.<\/p>\n<p>But there&#8217;s no real point to that.<\/p>\n<p>My sense is that this effort WILL blossom and expand someday. Maybe into sound again. Or video. Or putting a name on parts of it, a name that isn&#8217;t just vairtere. Maybe there will be a Patreon, or god help us a Twitter feed. <\/p>\n<p>But whatever happens, there will still never be any requirements to pass the class. <\/p>\n<p>You do what you need to do. You live your one wild and precious life. <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Your god and mine bless us every one.
