I have a pile of papers from my last Pathfinder character sheets, earlier DnD character level sheets, and some old bank mail sheets that I’ve jotted down notes and doodled on. It lives on the left edge of my computer desk. And of course, it lives atop other things I intended to take care of, over a month ago. Hahaha.

edit: Just found another piece of paper that had a bunch of things going on. A section where I was working out a framework and wording for a birthday message. A hell of a lot of practice cursive signatures so I can have “a cool stylized yet simple” signature. Doodles of all sorts of things. Most are playing with space (or volume if you may) and layout. Some are works on semitry. Then I spent time looking and crafting two names for a fantasy setting story I’m “working on.”

edit2: grammar

    Oh cool. It makes me think it’s nearly a compound word of ‘artifact’ and something else. I looked into Diamond Age, and it seems intriguing. I added it to my book list. Thank you. 👍

    …compulsive maker of things (some of which are kinda ok).

    Haha, I sympathize for you. I’m like that on rare occasions. I mostly think, research, apply a bit (or a lot) of critical thinking… and then lose my interest in whatever it was. I’m an ADHD-I person in the end, and a deliberate person. So when I set out to do something, whatever it may be, I’m more inclined to make sure it comes to fruition.

    I’m currently a manager of people who make things at a software company

    That sounds intriguing and engaging. What’s your opinion on the career position for someone with ADHD? Has it been rewarding for you?

    As for the logo, I just thought it looked cool, it was a 2-min photoshop job :) (my first few jobs was as an artist/graphic artist).

    Very cool! Some of the best things in history only took a short time to make. But understanding that getting there, took a lot more time. Experience, knowledge and patience.
