Using my artwork to create Midjourney Prompts (Part 1)

I know it's been a very long time since I've written anything. Almost a year considering my last post was welcoming in the new year (sorry). But today I present you with something very different to my normal content. This is the start of a new series, 'What Midjourney...

23 things I want to do in 2023

From the title, you may assume this is a list of new year's resolutions. That is very much not the case. I do think wanting to better ourselves and having the means and motivation to do so is inherently part of what makes us human. But stubbornness and resistance are...

Hobby-based rabbit holes that I’ve fallen into

One of my autistic traits is that I’m very much an all-in or all-out kind of person. A key example of this is that I can’t watch a TV show unless I see it from start to finish. I simply refuse to dip in and out. Even if it’s a sitcom designed to be viewed as a whole and as individual episodes, I need to see it all. The problem with this is that when I get obsessed, I get truly obsessed. And over the past few years, there are a lot of hobby-based rabbit holes that I’ve fallen into. Things I’ve decided I want to do and spent an absolute fortune on before realising it was the idea I liked and not the actual ‘thing’. So here is a list of everything I’ve wasted my money on, why and whether or not it was worth it.
