Your story is really moving. Have you found a techie co founder?


I don't really expect to go with a techie cofounder. I have two adult sons. They want to make games for a living. I imagine they are most likely going to wind up being helpful to me in my goals. I occasionally get a little help here and there from people I meet online. Mostly, I just need to get well enough and then I believe things will start to fall into place. Getting healthier has helped me develop my websites more consistently, even though it is still very, very part-time/intermittent. Eventually, other things will happen.

I'm still hoping for two things: An infusion of cash to help me move forward (because getting well all came out of my pocket -- it wasn't covered by insurance and such -- so I have a financial mess impeding my life) and some means to rapidly make forward progress on learning a programming language/learning how to make a game. So far, nothing has really clicked. I think people think I am being ridiculous when I say things like "I would like to download a programming language to my brain". I'm not. I'm just trying to convey that I am well aware that some things just are superior methods and sometimes something just clicks with a person. (I'm "twice exceptional" -- smart but also handicapped. So under the right circumstances I can get impressive things done and under the wrong ones I look really incompetent.) I haven't found that something yet. Presumably, it wasn't yet the right time.


I don't doubt you're smart, so I suggest get coding! :)
