For a while now I've been watching and following StreamINK. And I will admit that last year I was hoping to be part of the list of artists on StreamINK in the future. I didn't think I necessarily would be invited or anything. But it was a bit of a dream, you know?

However, I became instantly inactive on all socials last year when my youngest ended up in the Children's Hospital. And my own health wasn't (and still isn't) great either. I'm still struggling with both my own health as well as my youngest son's health. I was close to going live again in the summer, when our youngest was admitted to the hospital again. That's not his fault. I could never blame him. But it did mean my life was upside down again. We needed to adjust life again. Needless to say, I haven't been live on Twitch since last year, I have barely made it to other people's streams. I rarely upload anything to socials or my blog these days. I do try to upload some stuff to my blog. But I know there's not anyone watching, so that doesn't help. I did not apply/sign up for this year's StreamINK. Because I simply do not know if I am 1: good enough and 2: able to even participate with us being in and out of the hospital.

What's the point of this post? Well, basically me saying that even though I am not one of the wonderful artists on the list, I will attempt to follow along this year's list! I am not sure yet whether it will be digital painings or traditional ones on paper. We will see! I have to say the list speaks more to me than Inktober 2024.
