This post follows It was a Female Raptor he met at the water..., Hypersensitivosaurus The Return and The Journey of Hypersensitivosaurus
At the end of this afternoon, on one of the hottest days of the year, nearing 40 Degrees Celsius, I went to one of my favorite terraces, overlooking the river and my favorite mini river beach.
I treated myself to some nice cold white wine and a hamburguér especial with batatas and had brought my notebook, pencils and crayons along, as well as my e-reader with my 2019 Hypersensitivosaurus story on it.
Now let's see if I earn back the investment in 'fuel' in payout on this post ;>)
It helps that I am paying Portugese prices, I guess. Would I still have been living in The Netherlands, I would have been broke already ( just don't let me get started on inflation, even here in Portugal. Food prices have probably doubled since I moved here, back in 2018 but it's still relatively 'cheap' )
Whatever happens, it isn't the worst spot to work on a blog post, right?
Here's a picture of what my actual view was:
Oops! At least I was wearing (swimming) pants.
Let's try again:
What happened here?! It must have been the wine and the heat...
Turning me into a joking raptor.
Hope you enjoyed the view. At least it might have put a smile on your face ;<)
After my meal and drink, as well as a coffee with some ice ( cubes ) in it, I walked to the river beach - literally wading through the river.
I had to lift my backpack above my head to not make it get wet. The water was deeper than I thought ( although my backpack should be waterproof, I hadn't tested that yet and my phone was inside and I didn't want to take the risk ).
And then, a little later, I went for an evening swim, till underneath the bridge and back.
It's fair to say that I spend most of the day near the water today.
I really enjoyed my day!
Aside from some pictures, I also felt like sharing a little more of my old ( and very first ) Hypersensitivosaurus writing.
Once again, these are pages that I never showed to the world, before. These words came to me in November 2019, when I partook in National Novel Writing Month.
Let's end with a cliffhanger.
Out of context, the above text probably doesn't make much sense to you and that is okay.
No matter how much I feel like sharing my ( full ) story with you, I am also pondering on ways to actually monetize my work in a way that is more rewarding for myself.
In the near future, I will probably sell some special kind of boxes, let's call them 'treasure chests', with all kinds of creative content ( visual art, audio, behind the scenes on my writing, written text, little sculptures? etc , all centered around Hypersensitivosaurus ).
I will try to make the content of the boxes as unique as possible but there ( probably ) won't be many of them, so they will be pretty much collector items for those who really want to further support me on my creativity journey.
Of course, I will also keep sharing fragments of my work, for free, here on my blog, just not all of it ;<)
TO BE CONVINUED...
