Hey all.

To the few of you who read and followed and favorited, I owe an apology.

Fallout Equestria: Once Upon a Time in the Waste is officially done.

So Tuesday I went in to work, the day after giving my two week notice, and was told to sign an injury report and get out or the Business Manager would call the cops and have me arrested.

I could have punched him.

I SHOULD have punched him.

But I held back. And I aught to take pride in that. When I got home I wrote this up:

Yell and I will nod.
Threaten and I will shrug.
Call me rude and I will be polite.
You kick me just to see me break.
Yet I am strong in my weakness.

Well it's been almost a week since Fallout 4 was released and the wife and I are still roving around Concord trying to build up our settlements and improve our perks (because what's the point of rescuing our kid if there's nowhere safe for him to live?).

I'll be honest here, I have a number of problems, one of them is my embarrassment at failing. This can include such things as not sweeping the floor daily to feeling like I've overslept. It's ridiculous ('Lesson Zero' levels of anxiety here) but, yes, the reason I went so long without updating was because I was so mortified by the fact that I had gone so long without updating.

Thank you so much for sticking around guys an gals! After almost a year and a half of being assaulted by guilt, anxiety, and self-doubt, I have finally been able to bring you Chapter 5 of OUTWaste!!

Don't forget to check out the audio version of the Prologue narrated by the one and only Equestria Narrator!

I'm coming back guys and gals.

Chapter five is with my editor and once I come up with a title it should be up within the week.

There has been MUCH b.s. in my life and most of it has to do with my own anxiety and fears.

So why, after almost two years am I starting to come back?

One of my hang ups working on OUTWaste has been my fear that my character will come out sounding like Silver storm from FoE: Heroes. While the pony with no name has a completley different attitude and approach to how she handles a situation, I worry that I'll still be influenced by one of my favorite FoE Side Stories.

Take this line here I just typed up for chapter five:

So I DID do a bit of rewriting on chapter 2. Buuut something about it was niggling me so I had some friends take a look at it. The agreement was that, while I might have had misgivings,* the original had a better bit of pacing to it than the rewrite. And so life goes on.

In other news, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! It's been a year since I last posted a chapter. But dang it it I refuse to give up!

*and what writer/artist doesn't

Okay, this is a quick word: For those of you who may have noticed, there's been a number of changes going on with Chapter 2. This is because I'm restructuring Chapters 2 and 3. It's slow going (about a page or so a day) but I'm hoping that it will help the story flow more smoothly.

Plugging away on Chap. 5

In other, broni-unrelated, news I have started to relearn the violin. After almost twenty years I picked it up again, because dropping it was one of my bigger regrets. 5th grade we started band lessons and I thought I had to belong, so I traded my violin for a trombone (bleeeeeaarg). Of course I now realize I didn't need to do that but at least I have those five years of violin under my belt to help me get back on my feet.
