    Not back to KSP yet, but I did do some space stuff.

    I haven't touched KSP since my early experience with KSP2 was a combination of glitchy game and impossible-to-read UI. I've been thinking about it here and there, but I've had other things to do.

    But that doesn't mean I'm not doing space stuff, and yesterday I finally edited and posted a video of such.

    My muse is nagging me.

    I've done very little writing the past five months, partly due to being busy, but mostly due to recurring headaches when it's writing time.

    I have a couple weeks off, and I'm going to try to make time to get back on my projects (the Octavia story and novelizing Peter is the Wolf). But my mind... well... it's trying to jump ahead, or possibly back.

    Life imitates art...

    So, a privately built and operated space probe became the first US lander to soft-land on the Moon last week- Odysseus.

    Extreme Nitpicky Trivia Help Wanted

    I've finally begun work on that story I promised.

    I need a bit of info for a minor touch, though:

    Does anybody know if, through the entirety of MLP:FiM, any month in the Julian/Gregorian calendar has been named by any character in any episode whatever?

    I'm prepared to make up month names, but if they use the same ones we do I won't bother.

Nightmare Nights · 4:51pm Oct 18th, 2016

It's hardly unusual for me to go to a convention- after all, that's where most of my income originates, in a dealer's room.

But I've decided to go to Dallas this weekend, using credit card points, for Nightmare Nights... and NOT sell things.

(Well, that last bit was decided for me. I applied as a vendor months ago and wasn't accepted.)

It's very, very seldom that I get to go to a convention without setting up my booth, because I can't afford to travel much unless I'm going home with more money than I left home with. But this coming weekend, I've decided, constitutes my vacation for the year. This weekend I will worry about nothing. I will go seek out Silver Quill and Peter New, poke around the artist and vendor tables, and probably spend far too much time in the board-gaming room. (I love "Twilight Sparkle's Secret Shipfic Folder.")

I will also have a laptop with me, but whether it gets used for My Little Karaoke or for writing Changeling Space Program or other things (Melancholy of Pinkie Pie revival?), I can't say until the event.

So, if you're going, look for the fat dude in the dark brown Indiana Jones-like hat. One of them will probably be me.

See, you wouldn't get rejected for a vendor spot if you stopped filling in 'hookers and blow' as the sales items.
