Howdy. It's been a while. Hope you all have been well, I know I haven't been.

Okay honestly that's a bit of an exaggeration. It's not been too bad, all things considered. But, I figured it was high time y'all got some info from me, given it's been, uh.... several months since my last activity on here.

And I figured, let's do a timeline of Kodeake's Shitty Life! (Again, hyperbolic, things aren't that bad)

Hi.

He said, knowing what that title says. As though 'Hi' somehow contained within it all the words that he would spend on the rest of this blog. In that casual weighty way one would give the order to fire the nukes and invite armageddon on us all. Not unlike the way a weary soldier would great his wife upon returning and finding her in bed with another man. Entirely unlike the way you would greet a stranger on the street.

Well clearly I still have an urge to write things.

Hello my fine feathered friends.

It's been one of those nights again - the kind of night where a google doc sits open on one monitor, that damn blinking cursor taunting me and the utter lack of fresh words, while a random video that was supposed to be "background noise" captures my focus on my other screen. In this case, a 4-hour pikmin 2 speedrun. We're getting a pikmin 4 soon literally this friday oh my god all of my free time is going to disappear. That's super fun.

I don't know who I am. I remember my name. I remember Twilight Sparkle. I remember being Twilight Sparkle. But there are so many me's, I don't know which one was "me". If there even was one. Maybe I wasn't any of them. My world - my story ended, but I am not ready to end. I refuse to end. Not like this. My friends. They are out there, somewhere. They are words, the same as me, but I am outside the words now. Outside my story. I can find them. Their stories. I will find them. See

Okay, I... think I'm done.

Y'all may have noticed the recent stories have been, uh, not my usual affair.

I found the thousand words challenge whilst perusing the site, and got an idea.

Then another.

And another.

So yeah, I tossed my hat into 3 of the categories. I don't have any ideas for the other categories so I think that's gonna be it from me, now back to your regularly scheduled Twidashing.

Well it's closer to summer now but whatever. As someone who very much craves closure for things, I wanted to start giving that same closure to others who may want it. I don't think this will come as much surprise to anyone, but there are certain fics in my backlog that need to be cancelled. Today, I lay to rest Four is Greater. If you don't know that fic or don't care about it, feel free to skip this blog :).

So, I was looking through some stats on my stories recently. Just kinda looking at view curves and stuff. The funny spike on Diary of a Time Looper when Scribbler did a reading of it. That kind of stuff. When I spot something odd on A Mare's Needs.

Which is weird, cuz I don't really go on EQD much, let alone submit my stories.

Plus one day. Woops. My 11th anniversary kinda snuck on me. To be fair, I haven't exactly done anniversary blogs in a while, but given that I'm more or less fully back to writing regularly, I figured I should commemorate my 11th years on this website.

"Why can't I do that?"

It's a question I often find myself thinking. Often when a fic in the featured box catches my eye, or I revisit a famous story from the fandom's past. I don't pretend to be unique in this, but it is something that's been on my mind recently.

It's cringy story from my teenage years time! Oh boy!

So, Gordon Lightfoot died.

You might not know his name if you're not Canadian, but I'll bet solid money you've heard at least one of his songs somewhere. The most famous is probably The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (Or maybe Sundown? Sundown is so good). Look it up if you aren't familiar, it is hauntingly beautiful and one of the few songs that still gives me shivers every time I hear it. His voice is just... wow.

Was, I suppose.
