    Trying to write again.

    I'm not sure if I've lost my writing touch. I'm trying to write again, but at times, I have to be an adult and caretaker of my father's estate, including the dogs and horse that are still around, plus my stepmom who shows some of them. And that takes up some of my time to write.

    ...and Chelis is already on to her at High Roller Pony Con in Vegas.

    But Look at that face.

    That is all.

    I'm still here

    Sorry if I'm not as active in updating my stories as I have hoped for. I'm still dealing with everything at home as an adult. Part of it has t deal with taking care of the dogs when needed. But my step mom is working on sending some guest dogs back home before next month, and finding homes of some of the dogs that she can no longer show. It's that part that has taken up my time. But the

    Being 40 years old

    That's right. I just turned the big 4-0. And somehow, it's not what I wanted it to be. I've been spending the past couple of weeks racking my brain about all the stuff I have around my room and what's in storage, and came to a decision to sell it. But it hasn't been easy. I have a lot of video games, toys, and comics and graphic novels that I decided to get out of here. But doing it by

    Trader_Jack > Gear Works

    I decided to make the name change. Now I go by Gear Works. One of the characters that I created has become more of a staple in my life. I guess you can say that it's time to start a new chapter in my life.

Where have I been · 5:59am Dec 18th, 2016

Well, I was able to get a job once again. This time, I work for Lasko in Franklin, TN. They make box fans to sell at stores. The hours are just like my old job, but I don't have much on internet access, or better free time because this job is tight on attendance. But it's better to have a job than no job at all. Plus, I've been busy helping out around the house and with the dogs, so it has taken up a lot of my free time. And don't forget that it's hockey season, and I do have my season tickets to those games. So the only best time I have is during the weekends, if I don't get caught up in something that my step mom needs to have done. She's ready for retirement, but she's dealing with some walking issues at the moment. And I do have the week after Xmas free from work, because the plant will be closed at that time.

So, as for my stories, here's what's going on.

Equestria World: Book 2
Already working on the next chapter, but it's taking me some time to finish it. I was hoping to have more chapters done before Xmas, but it looks like that won't happen.

Under the Blue Moon
I do plan to make a special chapter before I continue with the story, but it might not be until next year when I start on that. It will involve Tidal's cousin, Eclipse, and Indigo Zap, which will be the only time that members of Crystal Prep will appear in the story. This could be a hint of
things to come for my next story after this one, if I get to finish it soon.

The College Years
I have the next chapter in my head, so I hope to get that written soon. It will involve the girls talking to Moon Dancer and Coloratura. And it will involve a hint into the main plot that I wanted to do in the old version with Centaur and the new OCs.

Rara's Reality
Next chapter is going to be more like a video blog of sorts. All of Coloratura's dancers finally make their appearance as band and staff members for Rick and Rara. I'll get on it soon.

Other stuff
I have a few projects in my head that I would like to try out if possible. One is a spin-off to Aria's Challenge, which focuses on Adagio and a former love interest that she once had back in her hometown. I have thought about one story that involves a new OC attending Crystal Prep, but takes place long before the friendship games. And I was hoping on writing a short story that involves the CMC and the Siren that would take place around this time of the season. It involves the homeless selling a newspaper to help them get off the streets and on with their lives. We have something like this in Nashville. And there's one other that involves a dream I had months ago that is near fresh in my mind. I want the make it more like the MLP characters, but as humans with talents like the original characters. It involves them as a circus group and the main character who has started to have failures in his life and wishes for a spark of hope to come his way once again.

I hope to get much of this done soon, so bare with me on this.
