How Did Ghosts Learn to fly?

How ghosts learnt to fly by Rhoda Anne Young

Sometimes it feels like my brain has melted into the either.

I have learnt to take heed of this as a warning of the onset of burnout. It happens with increasing frequency since living in the tent. The exhaustion growing exponentially in the last couple of years.

I’ve learnt to listen to my minds and bodies cues, and take the necessary breaks before my impending collapse.

I learnt this lesson the hard way. Please don’t do the same.

This has been my status for the past two weeks. No alarm can wake me. Every simple task becomes impossible.

So I took another break !

But the brain can only “lull” for so long before bordom ensues; and when it is done with its slumber, there is an impulse to cure the boredom with new adventures.

It came to my attention, whilst my brain was in its “lights out" phase; that I have a issue with my writing. And I decided that (because I am a very visual type of being) the issue with my writing is the lack of visuals.

Next thing I know my brain is stuck in a grove of creating comics, graphic novels, and picture books.

Can I really do that at this stage of life ~ the adventure just gets madder and madder.

But as the saying goes- “ nothing ventured ~ nothing gained”.

So down below you’ll find the answer to the entitled question via a very short & very daft comic strip I produced, whilst hopping around the app store looking for tools.

I think I have some practising to do !?

Ta Ta for now
