    Merry Christmas, all!

    My track record with Christmas releases is no longer perfect, but I do try! Only one 5k chapter of Sharing the Nation this year, though I'm hoping to have 5k more out before the new year. To make up for it, though, I've also brought out the Harry Potter crossover that's been languishing in

    Nothing this year, sorry

    Man, this has been… a year. Shortly after my last blog post, I had some (non-covid) medical issues that somewhat took over my life for a while, and while that's all in the past now, I'm only back where I was beforehand—completely unproductive. I was determined to get back into things at NaNoWriMo, but work steamrolled those plans and I just haven't been able to find the words to write something

    More burned out than I thought

    Jeeze, it's been four months since I decided not to force myself to generate updates for the sake of Patreon and gave myself the freedom to write whatever I wanted… but I haven't really written anything. I've done a thousand words or so here and there to play around with other fandoms, but nothing of significance.

    Shocking, I know.

    Tis the season for status updates. Not as much the other kind of updates as I would like, though

    It wouldn't be Christmas if I hadn't been completely incommunicado for at least a month or two beforehand, right?

    Unfortunately, I don't have chapters of Sharing the Nation to post for Christmas this year. I do have some Equal Opportunity Ascension chapters that only Patreon has seen, and I'll post those, I guess, but it's clear this… isn't working.

    Christmas Updates!

    Merry Christmas!

    As I've done every year since I started writing, I have updates here for you on Christmas day.

    ( It might look like there's a missing one, but the chapter for Sharing the Night that year was taken down and reposted)

Personal update · 7:18am Jun 1st, 2013

It's been too long since I've said anything to reassure people that I'm still alive, though I appreciate that no one has been so impatient with me as to complain. Things are moving along. Troublingly, my parents (who worked for the same corporation I did) were in the middle of buying a house when our location was shut down, so things have been hectic, to say the least.

I still haven't gotten a new job, but I haven't really had a chance to look too hard as of yet. It's not really any sort of problem in the immediate future; mostly I'm just busy, and when I'm not busy I'm too tired to be in the right state of mind to write what are probably the most important chapters of Sharing the Night. :derpytongue2:

It'll happen though.

You didn't write for half a year

Then you came back

And wrote more

And it was fucking awesome.

Hang in there man. I have faith in you.

We have waited half a year before you updated, we can wait some more.:rainbowdetermined2:

This, completely. Most people don't come back.

okay. we can wait.

I'll tell you the same thing I tell all the authors on here, who worry about complaining fans. Take all the time you need/want. Noone here is paying you to write for them, and real life is always more important than internet communities.

Do your thing, and take care of yourself before us. :twilightsmile:

Better to have another awesome chapter be delayed than to rush it and make it crappy. But thanks for the status update; it's nice to know what's going on and good luck on the job search. It's tough out there. *Still looking too* @.@

OMG YOU'RE ALIVE!!! ...:derpytongue2: Sorry I had to. :derpytongue2:

No worries, I understand how life can be a real pain. Take your time, keep your cool and we'll be here when you're ready! :twilightsmile:

It's good to hear your not dead, and that you're not immediately screwed. That really sounds like a nightmarish scenario though.

Best of luck. Glad to hear the story isn't dead.

PPS

I hope you've managed to get a job by now. Not having money is rather... inconvenient.

Inconvenient is certainly the word for it :twilightoops: I've had some contract work recently, but nothing regular since the majority of my time until about a week ago went to moving my aforementioned parents into their new place with basically no help from them. They had children late in life, so they're ~70 now and huge pack rats. Seriously. Whatever you're imagining it, double, it—then double it again and add a garage and wasp infested storage shed. :facehoof:

I... am just now realizing that the next-newest response here is two months old. I didn't think it had been that long :unsuresweetie: On the bright side, I am actually actively working on the next chapter, so there's that!
