I'm sure many of you have heard about the now-infamous new episode of Kitchen Nightmares from Scottsdale, Arizona, in which Gordon had to take on an absolute insane chef and her crazy husband/owner. It went viral after the owners went on a tirade on Facebook, and the flames were stoked when Reddit joined the fight. You can view part one of the episode here:
But that's not the point. The point was that I watched the episode and saw a person who was offered real and valid criticism but dismissed it, tried to to ignore it by appealing to people who were already fans so as to create an echo room of how great they are, and just plain stormed out when it became too much instead of seeking to improve and face the criticism head on.
....
And then I re-read my blogpost about Reach.
So, yeah, there you go. I was a tremendous jackass and shut down instead of taking the well-earned criticism and, you know, getting better because of it. But, well, thanks to several other writers, my editor, and most especially the lovely Serina they kicked my ass back into gear and I'm back on track. So rejoice and be merry, that you don't have any more stupid-ass blog posts coming!
Also, if anyone ever runs into the pre-reader who is also a bear, that guy is super patient and awesome. Like, Nathan Fillion holding a Halo sniper rifle awesome. I couldn't have asked for a better pre-reader.
Oh, and in addition to Reach, The World At Large is coming back too. That is all.

Yeah, I was just pointed in the direction of that blog. Cool stuff.
Thanks again for the watch and the high praise!

Thank you very much!
And I found it on bookplayer's recent blog post, recommended by Subsolar Drift. Recognized the name and checked it out. Really glad I did.
Hey, you, thanks for the watch! Have one in return!
And because I'm quite curious: How exactly did you find that blog?

I approve.
Just discovered you through that adorable WiR icon you have there. Maybe I'll stick around
.
Wow, I... That blog post really hit me, man. I know how it is to be addicted to something. Not physically, mind you, but mentally. I'd say that's the worst kind. You can break a physical addiction, but mental? It's what you know and love. I'm sorry you're going through that.
You make life give you what you want, and don't look back. It'll be hard for awhile.
But you'll make it through.
Go do the important things, man. Make it where you want to go.
And most importantly, be happy. The world doesn't need an unhappy Toix.
I posted this same thing on one of your stories before realizing I should post it here. I'll leave it there so you can be reminded should you dig through those comments again.
>>419682 I'd like to know what you mean by the ODST? Do you mean by the feel as she wandered through the streets? Kinda was similar when you were alone in the dark wrecked city with no Covies to worry about.

Did LA Noire aid in it? And, I'm behind on YOUR story, my NUMBER ONE story of all MLP:FiM beyond FO:E (it was longer and more connecting, but you can't personally connect to a Doctor figure, lol).

The last arc of Out of Touch was actually a number of noire tropes thrown in with Halo 3: ODST and The Matrix. Though I heavily recommend Starlight Over Detrot. It's an amazing story.
