XDD, I used to live in a town called Hondo Valle where you would most definitely be able to find anyone, not just because it was small, but because ALL the neighbors would be talking and let you know exactly where anyone you asked for was living XD.
And yeah, I'm bracing myself for a very long journey to being able to live off of this. I've weirdly had more success with publishing then with trying to get a day job ATM but hey, waddaya gonna do?
And yes, definitely always encourage people to pursue their dreams, it's so essential.
