    Am Not Dead!

    Hey everyone. Sorry for the silence. The past year has not been kind to me. As such I feel an update is in order.

    Delayed Schedule

    I promised one chapter a month and I intend to keep that promise. But life has a funny way of getting in the way.

    In any event, the next chapter of the Element of Common Sense is finished barring some revisions but I realized that the next chapter would be a little jarring without some sort of build-up.

    Back in the Saddle

    All right, mourning is over.

    Yogi is dead, I will miss him but I have moved on. As such I finished the first arc to the Element of Common Sense and sent it off for prereading. I intend to get started on the next chapter as soon as possible, which brings me to a good point.

    When it rains it pours...

    A few days ago I mentioned that my dog Yogi went to the vet for an infection. He died today.

    I based the character of the same name in the Element of Common Sense on my actual dog and now I just don't know what to do. Ten years I have had him and now he's gone.

    I'll do my best to keep him alive in my stories for as long as I feel up to it. For now though, I just want to lay down.

    I'm Going to be Busy...

    Ok so not pony related but anyone interested in my stories should know that I won't be working on them for the foreseeable future.

    I thought that I was happily married for the past six years but today's events have made both of us realize that is not the case. We are divorcing (most likely) and I will be moving out of state.

All right, mourning is over.

Yogi is dead, I will miss him but I have moved on. As such I finished the first arc to the Element of Common Sense and sent it off for prereading. I intend to get started on the next chapter as soon as possible, which brings me to a good point.

I have decided that I should set some sort of goal for myself here, as such my progress is now dictated by a simple one-chapter-a-month format. Since each chapter is only about 1000-5000 words which isn't hard, it just means that I have to set aside time to actually write.

This has been my biggest barrier, getting time to sit in front of my computer that didn't come after an extremely tiresome day that left me with little drive to actually work on something creative. But 5000 words is not so large a number and I need to force myself to actually do something.

Let's face facts: I hate my job. Mostly because I work too much and have almost nothing to show for my efforts. There are other things I can do for money but they all require more skills than I currently have, but I refuse to live-to-work. I am making time for other things, even if these things are not immediately profitable I hope that sometime in the future they will be, but no one did anything important working forty hours a week.

It is time for a new dawn. Stay posted for the next chapter and I'll do my best to have the next chapter ready in a month.

Lastly, thank you to all of my followers. You all had your own reasons for doing so and I will do my best to deserve the attention.

See you around!
