    New lenses

    Had to get new ones since the old were... not good. I got headaches, and it messed with my perspective so badly i couldn't drive.

    The new ones are better. I can kinda read if I crank up the screen size by 150% and I can drive with them. Good for far distance sight but my right eye does all the work when I read. Text however has a strong double image, which sucks.

    Got my new glasses

    Just picked up my new glasses since I realized I couldn't read with my left eye anymore. These are far more powerful than my last pair, and my god I don't think I've had such a strong reaction to new specs. From the moment I put them on, to now hours later it feels like I'm in a funhouse. I know its going to take time for my brain to adjust to these but its actually a pretty disorienting. It

    Wishing everyone a merry christmas!

    Had to replace my keyboard due to a frayed wire, but things are progressing. As predicted, as I edit the chapter its fast becoming another 'what was I thinking?' moment as some portions don't add to the story and are getting rewritten or dumped entirely.

    But on a happier note, I'm wishing you all a merry christmas and a happy new year. Hopefully it'll be better than the last one.

    Update on the next chapter

    Okay, so I managed to connect the 3 big portions of the chapter I wrote but I need to reread it to make sure it makes sense. Thankfully i seem to edit faster than write these days. I hope to get you guys a new chapter soon. Even if its shorter than what I hope, I want to get my readers something before next week.

Finished the 1st draft of the 1st chapter my original story. · 4:35am Sep 3rd, 2024

Some people here expressed interest in my comedy about a guy going to live with two mad scientists: I decided to post a link to the first draft of the first chapter. its a little rough and dialogue heavy but that's what the second draft is for.

the second chapter has our hapless protagonist being taken out to breakfast at the local greasy spoon. a restaurant that has advertisements like 'Come and feed your tapeworm today!' and 'Now no more fingernails in the pancakes!'

Thank you very much!

Taking a curious peek, though must admit I don't have the focus at the moment to give it a thorough read, been a long day, will do it tomorrow morning (sorry if rambling)

its fine. I just want an honest opinion

Sorry that it took so long, but the past week has crazy workwise for me :derpyderp1:

I enjoyed the setting and found myself intrigued and wanting to learn more (Why the mail man? No, I wouldn't touch that candy with a 11 foot pole. And Calvin must be really desperate to rent that room... also will the juggling of a live wolverine eventually come up?)

In sum, yeah, I liked it and I'd keep reading that story to see where it goes :twilightsmile:

Sponge believes that Mail Man is his sworn super hero nemesis, and in his fractured mind believes that Mail Man has shapeshifting powers which is to explain away that Mail Man looks different after he's 'defeated' (IE they change who's on that mail route.'

But I'm glad you liked it. Sponge is a super fun character to write for. I have almost the entire town and its various weird people fleshed out (Scout Troop 409 who operate like an Italian mafioso but its all little girls, The Maybe Fresh Mart which is like a grocery outlet store so everything is 2 days from expiring, Peaceful Trenches nursing home which is full of militant grandmas, Blue Shale Park which is either full of protesters protesting against protesting, or wannabe witches and the magical creatures that laugh at them depending on the time of day) so I got a lot of fun places for Calvin to go.

But now i go back to my pony stories for now.
