I'm not sure if I've lost my writing touch. I'm trying to write again, but at times, I have to be an adult and caretaker of my father's estate, including the dogs and horse that are still around, plus my stepmom who shows some of them. And that takes up some of my time to write.

...and Chelis is already on to her at High Roller Pony Con in Vegas.

But Look at that face.

That is all.

Sorry if I'm not as active in updating my stories as I have hoped for. I'm still dealing with everything at home as an adult. Part of it has t deal with taking care of the dogs when needed. But my step mom is working on sending some guest dogs back home before next month, and finding homes of some of the dogs that she can no longer show. It's that part that has taken up my time. But the winter weather has finally left when the month started, which was what brought me down at times. Now

That's right. I just turned the big 4-0. And somehow, it's not what I wanted it to be. I've been spending the past couple of weeks racking my brain about all the stuff I have around my room and what's in storage, and came to a decision to sell it. But it hasn't been easy. I have a lot of video games, toys, and comics and graphic novels that I decided to get out of here. But doing it by myself is what's the problem. And I need to get my head straight again so that I can start writing

I decided to make the name change. Now I go by Gear Works. One of the characters that I created has become more of a staple in my life. I guess you can say that it's time to start a new chapter in my life.

Have a question for you guys that follow me. I've been thinking of changing my name from Trader_Jack to Gear Works, since that OC has become the mirror image of myself. What do you all think about this?

I know I haven't been writing as usual like last year. Part of it has to do with the fact that I can be busy doing something around the house. The other part has to deal with what's been going on around the world. So many topics going on, so much debating and dividing. The problem I see is that a majority of the world, including my nation, believes that what they say and believe is right and everything else is wrong. And while I want to have my say, I feel that it's becoming pointless to

Just learned that Chester Bennington of Linkin Park committed suicide. This is something I would have never saw coming. I have collected all of their CDs and and saw them on tour a decade ago. I even purchase a copy of the performance to download when I bought the ticket, unedited.

Seeing that I finished Under the Blue Moon, I feel like I'm getting some backlash in what I did. When I wanted to take part in the group, all the main characters (Humane 7, Dazzlings, Shadowbolt 5) and some of the background characters were taken. Leaving Lyra and Bonbon as two that were available. I wasn't sure who else to take, and knew that those two were always together. And I wanted to be a part of a group, instead of being that same loner with the stories that I write. I have some

I have been meaning to get a cover, plus how Jack Diamond looks like, worked on, and was able to ask MaddyMoiselle to create one for me. If you haven't been to pony conventions, like BronyCon, She has cosplayed as Sunset Shimmer and Moon Dancer along with a few other MLP cospayers.
