    That should do it.

    I had three stories on the 30-minute pony site which were never published here. They are now.

    In 2015, many of the projects I had been halfheartedly working on since I got into ponies in 2011 and should have finished by then died when my computer did.

    A couple years ago, I found an old flash drive which had copies of some of the stories on it.

    What does that mean? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?

    Health Update Update

    Looks like the Big Brain BBQ is being postponed until they see how well Lorlatinib deals with the unwelcome guests in my skull.

    I've been taking it a little over a week and I think I've noticed an improvement. I know I feel physically better than I did on my old drug, and my mind's been feeling a little clearer, too.

    Health Update

    So after almost five years of living with cancer, I got told on Sep. 29th that there was a spot on one of my MRIs which was 'probably nothing'. Then they told me I had three tumors on my brain and said zapping them individually would be easy.

    Good news, I'm alive!

    So, at the time of my last blog I not only had cancer, but I was also suffering from pneumonia. This was the week after my first hospital visit, where they basically did a bunch of tests and gave me risky heart surgery because there was a sac full of fluid crushing it.

    So, it's been a few years...

    Anything new with you?

    Me, i'm dying.

    Long story short I went to the doctor for what I thought was sciatica and turned out to be stage 4 lung cancer that had metastasized throughout my whole body and reached my back. I never smoked. I never hung out around smokers. It's just one of those things.

    I've got 3-6 months left, apparently, though I plan to fight for more.

Well, TMP's over... · 8:50am Feb 15th, 2014

...And I couldn't make myself write anything for the last prompt.

I guess it's a little like being at a funeral and someone asking you to say something about the deceased when all you are is tired and feeling hopeless and wishing there was something you could do/could have done. I think of all the prompts I missed because of work or taking too long or not coming up with ideas until it was too late or whatever, and now it's too late for good.

Those stories were the first time I'd actually finished anything, and I really hope someone starts something like it again.

In the meantime I'm not sure what I'll do. Just keep plugging away, I guess maybe finish the "failure" stories and publish them or something.
