The goofiness of it all, I think, is important. However, what started as a DIY interest and a full blown internet business later morphed into a historical endeavor which included some Steampunk fashion as well. The genre gave room to my engineering and historian abilities. And somehow, all of that is tied together. There will be a new direction, hopefully, a literary branch, though my style of story development precludes any chance of predicting when that will manifest - I'm in no rush. I dabbled on the literary side since 2013, and I figure it will take more years to develop until I'm old and gray, perhaps.
I'm thinking that in a scant 12 years I participatedin this genre, I've really run the gamut.
