Less than 24 hours away—or should that be "fewer than 24 hours away"?—I've finally let loose my entry in Shrink Laureate's Season 9 Bingo Writing Contest!

I got the new Pony story up here finally today, but I keep forgetting to tell folks about my new non-Pony story!

I posted this to my AugieDog account last year, so I reckon I'll post it here this year.

On the hunt for more stories to read, I hied my way over to Paul Asaran's section of the phantasmagoria that is Fimfiction to glance through his last couple review columns. And on his main page, he has a link to his Review Schedule.

Because if I had noticed this option before, I would've employed it for every story I've ever put up here.

Where I first saw a mention of Jinglemas 2017, the "Secret Santa" story exchange that Petrichord took over organizing this year, but I decided to give it a go.

The faster I run, the less ground I cover.

By which I mean that the conclusion of Noblesse Oblige will probably not be appearing tomorrow. It's got another scene and a half to go, and while I know what has to happen in those scenes, I need to find time to sit down and type. I'll probably have that time tomorrow and Wednesday, but I've also got several other projects that need finishing this week. So we'll see how it all shakes out.

Of submitting poetry to the weekly contests at Poetry Nook, I finally picked up another honorable mention for a set of limericks called "Foolish Consistency." 'Cause you can't go wrong with limericks!

Of "Noblesse Oblige" is about halfway done, and I'm hoping to get the chapter after that, the story's grand finale, finished before I begin my final panicking about going to Bronycon and being on a panel with Horizon and Bookplayer about approaches to writing original fiction. Hopefully some Blueblood/Discord "frenemyshipping" will keep my mind occupied...
