    Update for June 2019

    I've been mentoring a grad student on "de-scoping". It's time for me to do that here too:

    Update for June 2018

    The good news is, I have a permanent job now (and it's one that I love). The less-good news is that life prior to this was not conducive to hobbies.

    My FIM-related queue is:
    - Finish marking up iisaw's fic and send the last section to him.
    - Do a detailed analysis of Bad Horse's code and dataset and send the conclusions to him.
    - Get my incomplete short-ponyfics in order.

    Update for August 2015

    I'm still alive, and still enjoying reading about ponies; that's the good news.

    The less-good news is that I haven't made significant progress on writing and I don't expect to soon. This is primarily due to a combination of job-search fatigue and burnout.

    (This has also been affecting my pre-reading time; apologies to iisaw for the delay.)

    Update for February 2015

    Writing-related:
    - Organized my notes for "LAN Party of the Night" into a coherent outline. This still needs work before anything gets written.
    - Continued making notes for "Time Loop Logic". I have a backlog of entries to add to that, and procrastination continues.

    Update for November 2014

    Writing-related:
    - Finished pre-reading Luna Cypher. Iisaw has indicated that he won't be making a second editing pass, so this task is now done. And the story was nifty :twilightsmile:.

Update for November 2014 · 6:52am Nov 6th, 2014

Writing-related:
- Finished pre-reading Luna Cypher. Iisaw has indicated that he won't be making a second editing pass, so this task is now done. And the story was nifty :twilightsmile:.
- Wrote on-paper notes for two more "Time Loop Logic" entries (contributions to MLP Time Loops). These plus the already-queued entry are at the top of my writing to-do list.
- Continued planning "Gone Horribly Right" (a series of Optimalverse variant vignettes). I need to write pen-and-paper notes before taking that story idea any farther.

Distractions/non-writing for the last few months:
- Finished the research project for work. This was satisfying and resume-building, but ate quite a lot of time.
- Finished a halloween art project that had been mothballed last year. This was a big hit, and pony-themed. It also ate a lot of time.
- Contributed to two collaborative electronics/art-installation projects. This, you may have guessed, ate a lot of time.

The good news is, my schedule is clear-ish for the next few weeks. This has a habit of changing without warning, though, so I have no idea whether I'll manage to get writing done before things pick up again.

To-do list:
- Per previous entries.
