Dear friends, how are you? I have had a rough time recently but things are showing improvement, finally.

So... let's see, where shall I start? My wife, after 2 years, is finally going to get disability. Kinda huge, because her having any income really impacts how we live. She had to get COPD and be put on continuous oxygen, but the judge ruled she really could not do any career in her state. Now we can hopefully get her the various treatments to help her recover some function.

It's so typical of me to talk about myself, I'm sorry. I hope that you're well.

10 months since I last blogged. Shall I catch you up a little?

Friends, thank you so, so much for your timely aid. Collectively, you helped me not only reach my immediate goal of saving my home, but helped me pay down some of the debt as well. I've gotten some great suggestions on how to deal with more of it, and a dear close friend is helping with the rest.

My friends, my readers, and anyone else who is willing to lend an ear...

I am so, so sorry to ask this, but I am at wit's end.

First, some backstory, because if you follow me for any reason, it's my ability to spin you a tale. This one is true, but feels no less unreal to me.

I just realized the last time I'd put out a blog was back in April. So, let's fix that.

I have still been writing, although it's been a bit rough. It's easier to write Twilight when worries and fears consume you. Also easier to write Luna when you think everything is your fault. Celestia's mindset works wonderfully when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders. So, those work well, but it's so much harder to write Pinkie when you can't get into a happy and carefree state of mind.

I meant to share this back in December, but then Nova completed another piece. So here's both.

Just a little Fancyfleur, because we need so much more art for them.

Rarity in armor.

Writing continues.

But there's reason to believe...

Hello, it's been a while since I've blogged, sorry about that. Life's been a bit hectic, holidays, and what not. But thankfully that's over for a bit and hopefully things can settle down.

This exists, apparently. I've been reading over it, and the sheer attention to detail is amazing.

Nova Quill/Firimil Posted a couple images that were inspired by scenes I wrote. First one is Pinkie riding Celestia (no, not that way)

The second one I can't show you, because, well, Fancy is riding Luna. (Yes, in fact, it's exactly what you think.)

Feel free to seek it out if you're interested. 1710827

Hey everyone.

First of all, I'd like to direct your attention to a little story my dear friend Karrakaz has been working on for the better part of two years. It's called Guilty Pleasure, it's a maturely rated Twilestia, and it's insanely adorable. He just put out the last chapter today so those of you who like to wait until a thing is complete have no excuse. I will however accept that you cannot or do not choose to read mature stories. You get a pass.

The Folly Of Princesses
It's with much hope and so very much trepidation that I present my continuation of the little story that became so very much more than I had supposed.

Are Greatly Exaggerated.

Apropos of nothing: I was simply amused it came up on a google image search of my user name.

So, two months later. I published that cute little Flarity one shot I had in mind for months, and had some time to work on a certain story about waterfowl that I cannot link, but you're welcome to check for. It'll be updated on October 1st, which is just a few days shy of a year since the last chapter. Apologies for that, but my attention was being directed at finishing a story.

That story was Green, of course, and while we had an ending, it didn't exactly end everypony's story.

Little idea I had way back in April (was originally a possible joke idea for April Fools, but turned into a mature comedy) watch for that in the near future.

So, nearly a month after finishing Green. I still feel weird not having a chapter of it waiting to be posted, (Probably why I had such a drive to finish this one shot in time to post it on the first) by now, posting a new chapter of Green every month is officially an old habit.

Sweet Celestia, that was a thing.

I'll need some time to decompress after this, decide how I feel about ending a project that I have been working on for nearly the length of my time in the fandom.

477,898 words. I began working on this in the middle of April 2012. That hardly makes me the most prolific author, but an average of 7500 words a month just on this story. Not too shabby.

Green Is Apparently 169,259th In Ranking

I recognize knighty said he was having issues with that, but... what math is this?

After some poking and prodding from a few prereaders on the subject and some thoughts from readers, I have decided to do away with the weird numbering system and make it more straightforward. Anyone who has been following along this long knows my pattern by now anyway, and between the half-chapters, interludes (and the intermission which was not even at the halfway mark of the story) the numbered chapters were off by 19 chapters. I kept the prologue out of the numbered chapters, because I

A question to my readers of Green... Is my chapter numbering getting a little silly?

I've been asking myself that as I look at the chapter that will become Interlude 17 and I wonder if maybe I made a mistake separating those from the conventional chapter numbering.

Presented without comment beyond a squee of joy. What follows is a small spoiler for Green, but can be enjoyed on its own merits very easily.

But I am beginning to feel aged.

Like cheese.

Or wine.

When I was younger, 30 seemed like an unreal number. Now 40 is knocking on the door. Ah, well. Beats the alternative. The alternative being of course that offer of eternal youth from that nice young man with the sparkly skin.

Seriously who wants to sparkle?
