I've been working on this sort of thing for a while now - I had a career in IT which I fell away from and eventually emigrated because I wanted to create something and there weren't the resources back then to make anything of interest.
I wasn't an IT professional, I wasn't a programmer, I wasn't a computer technician. I was a frustrated author.
When I was 13 years old, I was writing an essay homework for a History assignment, and I had taken about two hours writing before my parents objected and told me that was long enough. This was a shock - up to that point, those two hours had me in my own world, creating lives and events, drawing a story from the nothing but an idea, and that world was, for me, more important than anything I had ever done before or since. The destruction of that story was the greatest loss in my life. The history essay was simply the story of the capturing of a mammoth by driving it down a man-made corridor into a hole. Nothing of any great interest, but at 13 years old I was devastated.
I still want to tell a story, create something, use my imagination for more that just seeing the universe as a sparkly grey goo destined to death by entropy.
We'll see. More later.
