State of the Author. · 8:27am May 5th, 2013
Hey all,
Figured I'd just give a quick update on how I'm doing on my current ongoing stories, etc. Things are moving foreward, though slower than I'd like. I should be finishing up Raggedy Doctor Hooves in the next fortnight or so. I've got the next chapters of Murder at Maresfield and Ragged Wings plotted out and outlined, ready and waiting as it were.
So now for the good news, bad news portion of this post. Good news: I'm walking across the stage to receive my college diploma this Friday (even though I techniqually graduated in December, the May ceremony is for all the year's graduates). Bad news: This means my family will be in town...
That's kind of a mixed bag for me. I live in Chicago, they live in Tampa. So it's nice to see them, catch up, all that. But whenever my family is around, I can't really be my nerdy, brony, comic-loving self. They just don't really get it, and unlike my wife, they are far from supportive. Add to the mix that my brother will be staying with my wife and I, and that just cements that I won't be able to spend much time being myself.
I love my brother, I really do, but we are complete and total opposites. Me = Nerd, lover of comic books, and fan fiction author. My Brother = captain of his high school soccer team, sports fan, and current frat boy. So yeah, I may be scarce towards the end of next week, so I apologize in advance.
I also realize I've been venting a bit, so um, yeah sorry bout that. Anyhow, have a good week folks!

P.S. Go see Iron Man 3!
Iron Man 3, so far the best movie I've seen all year.
Anyway, I guess I should give my congratulations were they've been earned, and good luck where it is needed.
1056093 Thanks for the congrats and the luck

Well, at least they know your a brony right? Better then them not knowing.
My family is quite okay with me being a brony. I frequently discuss the show and the fandom with them. Heck all my siblings are bronies.
1056729 Yeah, I mean it's not a tragedy or anything, just an inconvenience.
1056865 Yeah, uh, they don't really know that I am specifically a brony, they just know I like things they don't get... Yeah I don't think I'm going to be telling them.
1056975 That's tough.
