    Little Character Thing

    So I've missed 4 weeks. Wohoo. Or more like "boohoo", but that's more how I feel about missing 4 weeks than anything.

    But it's finally time this old thing becomes relevant. Made this a long time ago. Spoilers btw, if you're not caught up with Tapestry: A World Apart.

    Late Updates

    Wanted to apologize for being late on updating Tapestry: A World Apart. I'm trying to start an indie development project at the same time I'm taking classes, add in some health issues and the last weeks have not been great. Just know It's not a long-term thing and updates will begin again shortly. It's really just a matter of editing and finding a few hours for it.

    I think one of the most beautiful things about reality is how it never does a half job. Every little blade of grass, to every insect, and from the forces of gravity on planets and the fusion that fuels our sun, to the forces exerted by the motes of dust landing on the ground to thunder across the Earth, it's all perfectly consistent.

    Today... Is the day.

    The last time I uploaded a new chapter for A World Apart was just a month under 3 years ago.

    But today...

    After all that time, and one heck of a set of life experiences I can scarcely even remember all of or in order,

    That's going to change.

    This feels extremely significant to me. It's something I've put a tremendous amount of passion, soul and work into.

The Music Still in You · 1:27am Jan 25th, 2018

Nothing seems more tragic to me, than someone dying, as it was once put, "with their music still in them".

I don't know if this author is dead, had their account hacked, or just moved on, but they wrote some of the most fantastic fics I've ever read. The Warm Diary of Twilight Sparkle and The Sparkling Reflection of Princess Rarity. Those two are perhaps the most transcendent experiences I've ever had reading. Beforehand, I thought I'd never give surrealism a try because it seemed to me at the time to be stupid and silly. But boy was I wrong!

But, whatever it is, their account is basically gone, now.

I don't know if they're still writing out there somewhere or not, but imagining a world where they had never written The Sparkling Reflection of Princess Rarity... it seems the world would be less rich without it.

Seeing stuff like that scares the hell out of me. I never want to do that - to stop being creative, entirely.

For what it's worth, I'm actually still putting at least a few hours a day into A World Apart's rewrite. I just don't like coming back often to make empty promises I don't keep, so I don't post new blogs often because of it. If only I could write a lot faster then this place could be a lot more alive, but, alas, writing more quickly is one of the main skills I'm working on these next few months. That and physical exercise are my top priorities in my day-to-day life right now.
