    A weird little EQG/Buffy story idea

    So, had this idea pop into my head a couple of days ago, and thought I would try writing up just to get it down on paper. I should say that if you’re not familiar with Buffy, this might be more then a bit confusing.

    Health, Mental and Physical

    To start with, this has been the longest pause in my writing since then late 90s, and it’s more frustrating than anything else. I feel like I can’t make any forward progress on any ideas, even though I’ve been starting to get more of them of late. I need to do something to change that, but it’s not as easy as just wanting to do something. Motivation and Action turns out to be quite different

    I haven't writen anything in two months

    I've not managed to put down a single word in the last two months, which might not seem all that bad, that but was after after four and a half years of daily writing. I managed to write something every day even when dealing with illness, loss, and the international dateline. Not that things were doing all the well in the months before, as I've been dealing with being just completely emotionally

    Unplaned Car Purchase

    Not to but to fine a point on it, but my car died over the weekend. I've had in for near 18 years at this point (and had < 100k miles on it) and it just simply died. Something is messed up with the electrical system, and I can't started it, or even jump it. I had replaced the battery a few months ago, and everything was working just fine until it wasn't. Thankfully it died at home, so I didn't

    No, the story isn't dead! I have a new chapter up on my patreon, which should be posting here in a week or two give or take. Hopefully with more to come a bit faster then before!

State of the Author 2022 · 1:39am Jan 11th, 2022

It's safe to say that 2021 was not a great year for anyone, and that includes myself. I spent quite a lot of it dealing with a bunch of ongoing physical and mental heath issues. None of them were as horrible as some of the things my friends had to deal with, but enough to make a mess of my plans.

Somehow, I managed to keep up writing every day, but there were a lot of days were that was more of a technical thing then anything else, with my very worst day being only 83 words, and my over all average was 572 words a day (yes, I do keep details records of my daily output), though I suspect it's only that high as I had a few weeks of high productivity here and there.

Even then, the majority of that was in a bunch of random fluff that never want past more then a scene or two, if even that. So the actual useful word count is even less then that. I have been working on my ongoing stories, even if it doesn't seem like that. I'm hoping to be able to start posting more. I've not given up on anything, I've just been slower then my usual slow pace.

I'm also hoping to get commissions open again soon.

And because I don't really talk about it as much as I should, I have a ko-fi, and a Pateron. I post my stories usually a week early on the Patreon, as well as posting work in process stories.
