I find myself still alive for some reason. I am in poor health, but able to stay alive relatively easily by being vigilant even though I am battling a urinary tract infection, which brought Jim Henson to his end of the creative process. But, since I am still alive, I can still create new stuff. Reason enough to celebrate.

I am currently working on a new Cissy Moonskipper novella called Cissy Moonskipper Meets the Nebulons. And I am also doing a lot of AI-assisted drawing. So, I am not completely done creating.
However, several unfinished projects need to be addressed before I die. A pair of novels, He Rose on a Golden Wing and Kingdoms Under the Earth have a lot to say about what I believe is important in the categories of Life and Love and Laughter. I also have an unfinished novella, The Education of Poppensparkle, and an almost complete novel The Haunted Toy Store. The fifth book in the AeroQuest series, It Ain’t Over Yet, still needs to be finished, and it might need to become two books. There is a lot to do, and probably very little time to do it.

I also have an idea to create Mickey’s First Book of Paffooneys. A Paffooney is an original drawing or artwork connected to a Short-Short Story or Essay. I confess it would be mostly a collection of cartoons. And yes, this Paffooney directly above is made with AI Mirror and a picture of a harlequin mask from Mardi Gras. I can’t help it. I am more creative than it is safe to be as an ordinary Earthling.
