    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.

I’m on a boat! · 9:35pm May 17th, 2019

Heading out to Nantucket this weekend for a party, currently on the good ship Ivanough traveling at about 35 knots.

This is my first time on a real ship out on the open ocean. The weather’s crap, it’s raining, and Ivanough is rocking a fair bit more than the only other ship I’ve ever been on, a ferry crossing the river Shannon in Ireland.

I love it. This whole weekend is gonna put me in a nautical mood. My goal is to hopefully translate that into a new chapter for Treasure Hunt at long last.

I finished Dalek; anything is possible.

My little pony, my little pony…
Yo-ho, yo-ho…
My little pony –
We’re all ready so let’s go and see
My little pony –
Just what’s ahead for you and for me
Stormy weather, lots to share
We’ll search the seas, with love and care
Finding treasure, it’s an easy feat
With friends to make your crew complete!
You have my little ponies –
Yo-ho a pirate’s life for me!
