Retirement is a tricky thing. I had taken up writing as my post-real-job career. I was enjoying it and keeping plenty busy. And yet... There were too many solitary days at home. So, I went looking for the missing piece. In June, 2022, I attended a business startup contest (North Forge's RampUp Weekend). One thing led to another and by October, I was co-founder and developer in a new startup called Idea Miners. The developer role was a surprise, but I was the most technical founder, and when you're a startup, everybody does everything. Anyway, Idea Miners is amazing, my co-founders are amazing, and our app is amazing if I do say so myself. And no, I haven't given up on writing. I just found the missing piece.
