Boy do I hate gossip. There’s nothing more destructive. Unless, of course, it’s in the form of unfounded journalism by an anonymous troll. For this type of press is what launches writers into new levels of recognition.

As I was reading through the article, I was hoping there would be no mention of the 1070 page typewritten novel I wrote for the Cardano Community between May and July this year.

And when I noticed how the word Cannabis was no where to be found in the article, it was checkmate.

Now here’s what I can say about the person that wrote that above article: the author is not creating anything but drama for others, including the Cardano Community, and this will certainly come back to their life, in some form catastrophic, as this entire article was an error. But as they say: any press is good press, and now I have the means to start a Wikipedia page. Nothing like controversy to jump start a writer’s career. Nothing like the apparent reek of scandal throughout, to get people to start reading your novels. Good. All of this is good.

Compound that with the fact that this person does not submit any proposals to Cardano Catalyst, taking the holier-than-thou standpoint — it’s not, it’s just because the person writing this lambasting article has no way of creating anything original of their own, and instead has to dig through the past and create articles talking about people in other articles, exposing them without any recourse or reprimand or kindness to reach out to the proposer directly to clarify things, and what this does, is place the defamer in the same place as any other internet troll writing articles on the Internet anonymously. All while condemning oneself, and others. Because what goes around, comes around, eventually.

At no point are my efforts for Fund6 mentioned in this article either. Which, by the way, I asked for $600 to write a full blown novel for the community. I wrote two novels. The average cost per page for the community to see this produced was cents on the dollar. Cents for a typewritten page, that had no edits, or page repeats. Just clean typewritten copy — we are talking works of art.

Just like this book, that I wrote for Cardano, during the months of May through July, of this year.

And I’m going to break the pages down by day, so you can see the effort put in.

And as you read, I hope you see how this book addresses current issues, including the Great Pause and the Great Reset, in addition to relationships, the loss of a child, the displacement from one’s home, the legal issues that parents face when trying to get custody, and how no one but God seems to believe that what is being done is of value. All of this, and more, is included in this book that follows, which for the purposes of proving to the community that I have delivered, above and beyond, what was promised in my proposal to Fund8.

And this is dedicated to the troll trying to defame me, for you know not what you do. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. It will come back to bite you, my friend.

And to those who believe in magic, may all your wishes be fulfilled.

The following pages were written on May 15th, 2022, for the Cardano Community.
