The purpose of a story is that it's a story. It can be more, but it can never be less.

    Friendship is Magic: the Musical

    So I've been trying to find ways out of my recent funk, and this was one of the most recent attempts. I thoroughly enjoyed the freshman season of Hazbin Hotel, particularly the outstanding musical numbers and how the whole season could, with just a few small modifications, be made into a Broadway style stage musical.

    So I figured hell, why not do the same with Friendship is Magic?

    Our Last Anniversary

    I've been radio silent on social media since my now ex-wife and I announced our split. A few days ago, I was moved to write this and post it on Facebook. Figured I might as well post it here as well.

    Folks say it's pretty good.

    State of the Author 2023

    It's bad.

    Real bad.

    So it should come as no surprise that my wife and I are divorcing. We're having to take it slow because she's so close to the end of her degree and I want her to be in a good place to help take care of our boys. We're still co-habitating, still friends.

    New Story Incoming

    It's taken years. Multiple plot revisions. The complete scrapping of "Silent Night." More false starts than I'm okay admitting. And, ultimately, it took the collapse of the life as I've known it to drive me into the mindspace necessary to find this lost child in the wilderness and finally bring her home.

    I hope the wait has been worth it.

Sorry for the delay... · 11:53pm Jan 28th, 2017

Man, not much of a Farewell Tour when I can't get stuff up in a timely enough manner.

Expect the next chapter of 'Wings' in the next... 36 hours or so. It's a big wrestling weekend, so that's taking some of my time. (Samoa Joe for the Rumble, baby.)

Quick question in the meantime; would anyone care to read the notes on 'the Changelings Have a King?' I've been adding stuff here and there and I only want to post them if folks genuinely want to read them.

Notes are always fun.:twilightsmile:

So, I was really busy back when you first posted about the farewell tour, so i went through your Blog archive to see the reason.

My honest thoughts on it?

Sir, that is the STUPIDEST reason for leaving I've ever read. Most folks leave because life decided it needs them full time, their health is failing so they cant b around as much as they'd like, or some other reason. your's is incredibly petty. I cant change your mind, you should do what you think is best for you after all, but just know that I cant really be behind your set reason. In any case I wish you well.

It'd be pretty cool to see the notes, sure

4400691 I'm starting to hate the fact that I have to keep saying this; I AM NOT LEAVING. I AM FORMALLY RETIRING. After the completion of 'All the Pretty Little Horses,' I will have no further stories to tell. The drive is not there anymore. It's simply time for me to pursue a new avenue of creativity.

The fact that there's a whole new crop of authors on their way up is just the icing on the cake.

I will still be here. I will still be reading and offering tips and advice. I may write a little one shot once a year or so.

The Farewell Tour is not about me leaving everything. It's about me leaving what has been the singular driving force of my creative ventures for the past five years.

4400800 oh. well, i retract my statement.
