I've been writing online for thirty years. One of these days I might actually get good at it.

    Falling behind

    I'm getting to the point where just keeping up is beyond my dwindling capacities. I'm not sure what's going on, but I suspect I'm not going to like it when I find out.

    Anyway, I apologize for having been such a lousy correspondent this year.

    Having gone wandering off somewhere

    Of late, I seem to have been overtaken by events: my health has taken a turn for the worst, I wrecked my car, and the guy they hired to help me out at work has moved away. (Another guy has drawn the short straw.) I'm still alive, but it's not something I much feel like bragging about.

    A night at the beer garden

    I mean, I'm not allowed beer anymore, at least not until I get off some of these damnable medications, but our little table had massive fun discussing Jenga, photography, classic and modern weaponry, beer (of course) -- and ponies. Apparently they'd read my stuff. Who knew?

    Regular visitors will remember that I'd asked the estimable LeekFish to knock out a sketch for my, um, OC. I posted it here, and it was well received; our own Twifight Sparkill came up with an idea, and heck, there's no reason you shouldn't see it here, especially since she's revised it to give me a more, um, scholarly look. (The LeekFish original is still in the sidebar at

    Back in the Real World

    I think I would rather spend two weeks in the Everfree, trying to avoid everything that can kill me, and in the Everfree I assume everything can kill me, than one more minute in a hospital room.

    That said, their definition of "on the mend" doesn't quite coincide with mine.

And it begins · 4:39pm Aug 1st, 2012

I said early on that I had "no gift for fiction." Over the next week, I will prove it to you - or I will prove myself wrong and will be shocked out of my socks.

Right now, matters are in the hands of the mods.

Well, it's about time, friend. :pinkiehappy:

It took me long enough.

I did stick to my six-chapter outline, though I decided that the ending ran on too long, and snipped rather a lot of it. And I threw away my synopsis at the last minute for something a little less cumbersome. Comes with the territory, I suppose.

As you see, it's up and about, and so far it hasn't been kicked to death, which I consider a sort-of-favorable sign.

Well, good luck to you.
Just promise me, when you get rich and famous . . . don't forget about me. :pinkiesad2:
