    I'm (still) not quite dead...

    I'm sorry, I am so very sorry for the lack of updates on, well, anything. A few of you have probably noticed that I've still been putting in the occasional appearance or comment, but as for chapter updates...yeah I've barely written anything for months for various reasons - work sucks, arranging a couple vacations, a falling out in my D&D group of 14 years, and just a sort of malaise that

    When you're writing a chapter...

    And listening to music to keep yourself in the mood, and then you hear a song that has you suddenly realize that you've been writing the entire chapter wrong and should have instead been basing it around the song - not necessarily using the song directly (especially since that would be against site rules concerning wholesale copying of lyrics), but certainly drawing on it for inspiration.

    The Good News and the Bad News

    The good news is that I got a root canal on Monday. No more pain in teeth. Yay!

    The bad news is that I was 3/4ths of the way through the next chapter of Midnight Castle (~5000 words) and realized that I was writing it totally wrong. I need to go back to practically the start and change up a lot, though I'm salvaging lines and paragraphs wherever I can.

Things I like, pt. V (FREEDOM) · 1:31am Sep 6th, 2015

Today was my last day at Papa Gino's. I'm never going to have to make an Italian sub again. I'm never going to have to make a super steak sub again. I'm never going to have to make an appetizer sampler of fried food while trying to also make french fries again. I'm never going to have to juggle twelve tickets at the same time, all of them due at the same time, that I'm gonna have to make at the same time.

I'll never have to have bloody steaks drip all over my shoes again. I'm never going to have to do pull thaw in the middle of winter again, nor rotate out the fryalator oil in the middle of summer. I'm never again going to have to deal with standing in front of a 500 degree oven sweating my balls off again.

I'm FREE!

I'M! FREE!

At least until Friday when I start my new job. A job I'm gonna love, because there is literally nothing there that is even half as hard as what I just left - everything there is basically what I would term a "front" job, a register/serve job, the easiest Goddamn job in the world. Oh, I'm sure there will be challenges, but compared to what I just left? I am entering the land of milk and honey. Oh, and there are some fantastic perks, too.

You see, I work at a movie theater now. Which means that I can see movies...for free.

Truly, the land of milk and honey, you lucky bird. Congrats! :twilightsmile:

Congrats! Here's to starting a new job next week!

Sweet gig! Nice!

Hi five man. Never worked a theater before but sounds like it's got some nice perks. Enjoy your week of free time before starting work again. :twilightsmile:

Congratulations! Glad to hear that you're moving onto a better job. :pinkiehappy:

Pretty sweet. :twilightsmile:

Free movies. Well, just hope they're good.

Woah, i work at a movie theater too! Working in the kitchen though. :twilightsmile:

I worked in a fast food restaurant for 4 years. I would take actually making the food during full lunch and dinner rush non-stop all day to working the register. :derpytongue2:

I work in a warehouse now. :trollestia:

Well, definitely moving up, there! Congrats on getting out of Papa Gino's and into something a lot easier.

A little late (I was without Internet for a couple days), but congratulations.

Thanks. What happened to your internet?

I was visiting my parents. I forgot my phone charger and their computer is broken.
