Two things to celebrate that have nothing to do with politics...

Hello dear friends,

I have two milestones to report:

1) I have finally resumed writing and publishing new chapters of A Herd of my Own, a story that has lain incomplete for far too long, and

2) With chapter six of A herd of my Own, I now have over 502,237 published words in 27 stories on FIMfiction!

I started writing on FIMfiction to learn the craft of writing. I travel a lot in my work life, so doing formal writing courses was not an option, but I wanted to be part of a community of folks learning to write, and FIMfiction caught my attention. Five and a half years later, I have half a million published words, some of them for which I can even feel a degree of satisfaction! It's my hope that along the way I've made a few readers laugh, cry, curse, or best of all, think, and I cannot fully express how much the comments and advice I've received along the way have meant to me and how they've helped me in my quest.

I thank you all. I can't guarantee another half million words are in the plans, but I'd like to think I still have a few stories in me left to tell about the science of magic, the magic of science, and the value of friendship, before moving on to other things.

Regards,

Daf

Well, the first five hundred thousand are the hardest!
