Call me Gryph for short, if you like. In-case the avatar, the name, and the themes of my stories didn't make it apparent; big Gryphon fan here.

    What Comes Next?

    Whew! A half-million word novel is no joke folks... Especially when it isn't even your first extremely-long-form-got-away-from-me-Gryphons-rarely-do-anything-small escapade.

    They say no plan ever fully survives first contact with the real world, but to fail to plan is to plan to fail. Plans are clay to work with as the situation evolves.

    So here is mine, currently:

    Advocate: Cutting Room Floor Achievements

    Here, in no particularly organized fashion, are all the achievements (the vast majority by Generic Friendship) which sadly didn't make it into The Advocate for story/brevity/etc reasons.

    The Advocate: Progress Update

    Just to relieve anyone who still is keeping an eye out; I am working hard on The Advocate!

    I have been trying to get away from the practice of tossing out a few chapters, vanishing for a month, then repeat. So I am presently building up a backlog.

    Just a Quick Update

    For the interested: I'm still focused on getting The Advocate completed.

    I had planned to make some progress this week, and still might depending how the weekend falls out, but it is becoming clear it won't be as much progress as I'd hoped, if any.

    Yes - I am still writing daily on RO, and hoping to finish this year.

    With that out of the way; It's been a busy few months. Lots of good projects at work, and lots of family issues, medical and more positive ( a couple killer DnD sessions, among other things).

    As a result, It's been radio silence for a bit.

Just a Quick Update · 8:09pm Feb 2nd, 2023

For the interested: I'm still focused on getting The Advocate completed.

I had planned to make some progress this week, and still might depending how the weekend falls out, but it is becoming clear it won't be as much progress as I'd hoped, if any.

I have an elderly family member going through a serious medical emergency, and I also had to undertake an emergency fence construction project after finding my horse tangled in barbed wire several mornings in a row. The previous owners of our property seemed to love the stuff, but never took care of the fences.

Nuking it all, and rebuilding with split-rail, solves that problem nicely, and cheaply, and even aesthetically, but post holes don't dig themselves...

So my days have been up early, feed horse, build fence a bit, clock in to work early, 'break' at lunch to build fence, finish work, build fence until dark, help family with ancillary tasks since their days were busy tending to medical emergency, roll into bed dead-tired and with my mending leg sore, repeat.

Things will clear up. If nothing else the fence will get done this weekend, and hopefully the medical situation will calm down as well.

But it has reached a point, and I've had enough questions from folks, that I felt like it was worth an update.

🖖

I hope your relative gets well soon!

The horse looks content. Sorry your life is being hectic.

Your life is clearly hard, and I understand, and I wish only things to improve for you.
