Remember last month when I said I was going to not write anything for a while and instead read other books and edit some of my existing stories to improve them? Yeah... about that. I have read three other books, but my planned story Everypony Knows About the Wet Dream is currently sitting at 14,990 words in five chapters. And it's not done yet. It's gotten a bit more romance in it than I was originally expecting, and there are some scenes that just aren't funny at all, but I felt that those scenes needed to be serious. It is still (at the moment, at least, it's not done yet) primarily a comedy.
I might get around to editing my other ones, I might not. I still plan to rewrite Twilight's Library, but only when I get around to writing the sequel to that one.

Looks almost right to me. The problem is that it only includes canon characters. Obviously Fluffle Puff is best pony.
On an entirely unrelated note, everyone should watch this fantastic speech from Neil Gaiman. Truly inspirational.
Lindsey
And now for the update you really want: Lindsey.
Today is her birthday. As she's been saying for the last few months: "On my sixth birthday, I'm gonna be six." And so she is.
Her cataract surgery went well and she's recovering from that now. She's got two follow-up appointments this month, one on the 3rd and one on the 24th. After she's healed up from surgery she'll need to get bifocal glasses.
She has an MRI scheduled for the 24th as well, then has to go to an ear specialist on the 25th.
I want to thank everyone for your continuing support; due largely to the generous donations of...29 people as of this moment, one credit card has been paid off, and I've taken another one off of Dad's hands, so for the first time in a while there is hope that we won't always be balancing on a knife edge, one wrong move away from bankruptcy.
You can find the fundraiser page here, or donations can be sent via PayPal to jasonlstegner@hotmail.com
I should really think of a good farewell to use on these. Today I'll just use an old favorite.
