    Adulting is hard.

    Buying a house is hard. Just saying that right now.

    So some minor improvements.

    We have a new person at work, and they appear to be getting used to the job quite quickly. My phone, meanwhile, has been fixed, and I have gone to great effort to thank my current phone provider for having so much better customer service than my previous provider.

    Househunting is still ongoing, but even that appears to be making some positive progress.

    I don't think it's getting better.

    So the good news is that we have a new supervisor at my job. The bad news is that one, the new supervisor is sick with something and her doctors are failing to help her get better, and two, the job is taking its sweet time hiring anyone new. This coupled with various unforeseen factors led to last week being a pain in the hindquarters at work. Plus, my househunting isn't going well, and my phone

    I think my job is trying to give me PTSD.

    I was awoken by a phone call this morning. Work asked me to come in, as things were crazy. I did so, was there from around 9:30 AM to 6PM. Worked without a lunch break, I might add.

    The Moral Event Horizon.

    Gonna discuss another trope today in relation to the Quiververse. In this case, it's the Moral Event Horizon. In simple terms, this is the point a character passes that forever marks them as EVIL and potentially irredeemable. TVTropes itself lists a few examples from FiM, and I won't repeat them here...though I will say that

Growth, but nothing unmanageable. · 3:08am Mar 19th, 2018

I was hoping to get work finished on the next chapter for Scars of the Quill on Tuesday, but it looks like it's going to continue growing in the telling. So yeah, if I'm lucky, it'll be done on Wednesday instead.

Regardless, I'm on track to get it out and online on Friday. I'm cautiously optimistic that it'll cause folks to sit up and take notice, if only because of the big thing that I have planned for it.

Best wishes on all of that. I've had to put my writing on hold for the moment due to a troublesome history essay.

Looking forward to finding out what that big thing in the next chapter is...

Yeesh. My condolences. I remember when schoolwork got in the way of my creative pursuits. Senior year of college was not fun, let me tell you.

I'll confirm right now that the next chapter, and the one following, are ones that I've looked forward to writing for years. I can only hope that they're worth the wait for my readers.

Oh, I don't doubt that at all! I had it rough in senior year too; dealing with both senior research and with an honors capstone project. HOW I got through that without going mad I'll never know. (In case you're curious, I re-enrolled for a semester so to complete a minor I wasn't able to finish prior to graduating. That's what the essay is for.)

Well, now I'm really interested to see what'll happen in that next chapter, then... :

Oh, if only I were as ambitious and hard-working as you.

Fingers crossed that I don't disappoint.
