    IN WHICH I LIED TO YOU (SORRY)
    So… Turns out it's been a full year (!) since my last story. I promised a couple stories in between but failed to finish them. But at least I got my annual Mayor Mare story in. Have some Twice as penance.

    More past the jump, if you're willing.

    IN WHICH I LIVE… SORT OF
    Hi. Been awhile. Not sure who's left to read this. I just now realized I accidentally added an "L" on my last 3 posts. Oops. Well, enjoy Sir Elton.

    So, after fixing my screw-up, let's get to the meat of why I'm writing, if you'll pass the jump with me.

    IN WHICH DEATH
    A little less than 24 hours ago, I got word from my office manager that my late dad's beloved dog had passed suddenly. Here's a sad song.

    Golden Retriever. 5 years old. Probably a snake-bite. RIP, my buddy.

    IN WHICH HAPPY CANADA DAY
    On Monday, 330,000,000 Americans will technically celebrate Independence Day, the Fourth of July. I'm not exactly feeling proud of my country right now so, as per custom, I'm honouring our neighbour to the north instead. Enjoy this video of an Australian girl singing.

    More whatever after the jump.

    IN WHICH I ACTUALLY POSTED SOMETHING
    It's that time of year again: January 20th, which means a new Mayor Mare story from yours truly. Words follow, but first, enjoy Twice.

    I'm Alcohol-Free as I write this, but I probably won't be by the time I'm through…

IN WHICH I PERSEVERED AND DID SOMETHING
After more than a month of talking about it and apologizing for the difficulties of writing it, I have finally finished the initial draft of my next Sunset Shimmer "Recovery" story! I was determined to get it done before Easter, but that didn't quite work out because I ran into a snag at the very end -- even though I had the ending planned from the beginning, it turned out more difficult than I expected to put it into words. One particular character moment, the final line, took me by surprise.

For the record, I have published twenty different stories to this site, and not one of them used a prereader or editor -- every single word is my own with little to no input from anyone. It's something I take an odd pride in. However, I'll admit I'm not entirely pleased with this draft. It's readable, but I know it could be better and I'm not quite sure how.

Therefore, for the first time ever, I believe I will ask for help, for another pair of eyes that can catch what I might have missed. After being those eyes for a couple of authors now, I have come to see its utility. If you might be interested, please let me know.

I now must decide whether to sleep, get some walking in (if the weather cooperates), or watch Youtube. Peace out!

You'll probably get other offers, but I volunteer

Yeehaw! Congrats on the rough draft. Hit me up if you like!
