Writing delays · 3:30pm May 13th, 2017
(Edit: Argh! Really Google? I can't embed images in a web page? *sigh* Click the link if you're at all interested in seeing my cat being helpful.)
The real reasons for my authorial tardiness are much less cute and pet-able. Mostly it's because I'm once more having to change careers; this is the third.. maybe fourth.. time I've been in this position. You'd think it would get easier with repetition, but it does not. My last career lasted the longest but once again technology marches on and the field I was in - Flash Developer - has vanished. The years invested in mastering AS, the Flex framework, etc. are all completely valueless now, and my skills with Front-End Dev are several years out of date. I'm going to either need to train in order to catch-up or jump ship and go in a new direction.
Considering that all of my life I've worked in marketing, I'm considering jumping ship. I'm so fed up with working on banal crap that only exists to convince people to buy shit. That I'm stupidly deep in debt kind of colours my feelings about convincing people to buy shit.
Writing and reading are a good escape from the stress of dealing with all of the above, but it makes me feel guilty for taking that easy escape when I have bigger issues that I should be dealing with. Staring at an empty page while feeling angry, confused, stressed and guilty is not conducive to writing. Blegh.
The next few chapters will be a bit difficult to write. I need to develop some of the characters further and kind of fill in time before the Unicorn Festival occurs, which is when the next important (to me anyway) part of the story happens. I'm still puzzling over how to end the story... there are more-or-less two ways that I'd like it to end and I'm not sure which really works for me. One is kind of sad but fitting, the other is silly but more fun. Eh. I'll figure it out. 
p.s.: Sorry for not replying to comments. I'm too anxious to do it atm.
Broken image.
Also, take your time. Rushed writing won't make anybody happy.

Thank you for pointing out the photo issue. I've fixed it... sort of...
And also, thank you for the advice.
