    It's the obligatory new year blog post.

    And yes, I am posting this at around midnight on new year. I have a nasty cold, so I decided to disobey nurgle's one command and stay home.

    Just for kicks

    I'm mucking around with Lulu for a work-related project (very boring stuff) and thought I would do a quality test with something fun.

    The odd things

    I've just been reading through old comments on my scraps story, after publishing yet another chunk from the ancient cutting room floor. It's remarkable how many of the commenters are still around - but also how many logged off for the last time, soon after making their last comment there.

    But in brighter news

    While I'm not making any promises about any particular project here, I am actually writing again. I figure if I write enough of something, some pony words might drop out somewhere along the line as well. You never know.

To be clear, I'm not posting a new chapter of anything any time soon. I want to actually finish a story before I start posting more of it, because I don't want to put myself back into the cycle of trying to keep up with a self-enforced posting schedule when the story isn't complete. That's how I burned out last time. And the time before that. And the time before that...

But that aside, by god does it feel good to be writing again. If only I could get paid for it, life would be perfect. :derpytongue2:

Taking care of myself the only way I know how. Sleep!

I've clearly not been doing a very good job, then.
