I had no plans to get back to the blog and podcast until I had learned a bit more and figured out how to focus. I&#8217;ve learned a lot, but, well, focus isn&#8217;t my focus. <\/p>\n<p>But there seems to be a need to help artists out. I know a lot of comedians, musicians, and other artists who have had months of work canceled and it is going to start to hurt sooner rather than later.
