    I'm Not Dead, But I HAVE Released A Book

    Hi guys. As always I'm really sorry about how long it's been since I posted here. I mostly used this blog as a place to talk about ponies and to be completely honest I'm still yet to see any of season five. Horrific I know. I'm waiting until I can watch it with the girlfriend and she's been too busy to do so. It sounds like I'm missing some pretty good stuff though.

    Merry Christmas Everypony!

    Merry Christmas everypony. I hope you get something nice you really want, or give somepony else something they really want. I'd give you a Christmas update but it's a bit too grim for a day that's supposed to be happy. Christmas also marks the day I joined Fimfiction. Well, Christmas Eve does. I missed it though so here's a happy whatever we call the anniversary of our joining here.

    A Video I Did

    I'm afraid I'm here with more shameless self promotion. I wish I could offer you more but unfortunately there's not much to offer you at this point. I'm trying to take some steps to improve my life positively and take things in a better direction. To that end I recorded myself doing a recording of one of my stories, Tulips. I'm not asking you to buy anything this time. I'm just asking that you

    I Have New Short Stories Out

    Non-horse ones I'm afraid. I don't know how many of you are interested in non-horse stories from me but this is pretty much the place where I have the most people listening to what I say :twilightsmile: If you're interested in horse stories from me then I'm afraid you're going to have to wait as I'm still focusing on non-horse fiction at the minute. Life keeps getting in the way of that too. At

    I'm A Published Author, Again!

    I know we've been waiting for this for a while but the time has finally come. I have been published, properly. Still through Amazon, but that's okay. I can live with that. I don't know if I even told you the story of this story, so I'll tell it you know. I wrote a poem called The Beast. I then got the idea to extend it into an actual story...that I also called The Beast. After reading through the

I Have Returned · 6:46pm Aug 10th, 2013

That's right folks, even though I do not come with a ghost army I can assure you that the king has returned. :yay: for Lord Of The Rings references. As you could tell I didn't have the internet much when I went away and unfortunately I wasn't able to do as much writing as I wanted to, but I did still manage to have quite a bit of fun and I'm already feeling nostalgic about the whole thing.

That is partly though because my life is probably about to change one way or another. I might be getting a job soon and even if I don't get that one, I'm more motivated than ever to get one. I'm still going to finish off Working Towards The Future before going back full time to commercial writing. It's sad but I have to acknowledge that right now I can't make anything viable out of writing as I do believe I'm still yet to receive any kind of royalty check for my first book. No, sadly I must carry on with the daily grind of modern men and women. Or create various get rich quick schemes. Oh if only.

Anyway now that I'm back you can expect Working Towards The Future to continue to update on it's regular tri-weekly schedule. I don't like the idea of not having an update ready. Once I miss one update I'm likely to become very lazy about others and I won't feel at all bad about missing updates. As such I'm not likely to allow myself to skip one.

Welp I'll let you go back to your days now people.

Until next time.

DASPONI! TRIXIE MISSED YOU!

*Tackle*

1275350
Do these tackles involve hugs or just pain? Either way :yay: You were missed too Trixie :pinkiesmile:

1275377
They involve hugs and love.

1275382
Which technically makes them glomps, not tackles.

1275385
Ahh pedantry, the true language of love :pinkiehappy: I am quite happy with either tackles, tackle hugs, or glomps. :yay: I think my brain has given up on me now though. I can't really think. My sleep deprivation got pretty bad on vacation and I've actually started feeling dizzy. It was kinda cool last night though cos it was like I was being rocked to sleep.

Missed you, man. You doing professional writing?

1275429
Not yet but I have a second book I put on hold to write Working Towards The Future. I also have some resources now for doing freelance writing. I even have some motivation these days and want to try and make a good and proper start with fixing up my life. I'm actually planning on living in self imposed poverty to save money. Which will just further motivate me to get a job :rainbowlaugh:

Getting a job is hard nowadays... I blame Cameron's government and its idiotic measures.

1275556
Well I should have a work trial coming up soon and if it goes well it can end in full time employment. It's in a factory so it's going to be soul crushing and utterly depressing but I've reached that point where I do think I've gotta do what I've gotta do. Things are bad yeah, and it's up to me to make the best out of them and do the best I can with what I have.

Of course that kinda stuff is much easier said than done :ajsleepy:

Man, I used to perform manual labour when I was younger. In retrospect, it taught me to be self-dependent and to appreciate hard and honest work of our labourers.

1275634
I've already learned those life lessons though :fluttercry: The one I'm going to be learning most of all with this is that if something is worth having, then you'll do what it takes.

1275618>>1275634
You guys bad mouth manual labour like it's a punishment.

What I wouldn't give to land a steady job in a factory....:applecry:

also welcome back! Keep up the writing dream, commercial or hobby levels! I'm also interested in your freelance stuff, do tell?

1275853
I'm not really trying to badmouth manual labour. It's just not really for me. I don't have the strength or energy levels to stay on my feet for hours on end and I get very bored very easily. Manual labour is for some and jobs I'd be good at, such as office work or retail, aren't suited for other people. Really retail is barely suited for me :rainbowlaugh: As for the freelance stuff, it's mostly some documents I was given with information on how and where to send things, I'll have to dig it out if you'd like some information. Or just scan it and send it you in a message. That'd work for me when I get the chance.

Would no doubt be an interesting read, ta!
