    Ringo Dingo D'oh: Tf did I go?

    Sup nerds? I live, I breath, I'm no longer literally living in a forest. Life is better.

    Yeah, so I was homeless from August of 2022 until January 2023. Funny how life works. Explained below.

    As for ALL FUTURE WRITING PROJECTS:

    I Am Not Quite Dead

    And neither is A Thief's Tale. Writing at the speed of life right now, which is uh... Not goin' too quick. It's been a while. Sup, nerds?

    Yeah, I'm not dead. Struggling with life, but alive and doing alright. Love taking screenshots of the old comments to brighten up these dreary days.

    New Re: Chapter and... Stuff

    Chapter 36 is officially done as of this moment, but I might wait a bit longer to drop it so I can get started on a backlog. That said, eh. Just lemme know.

    Update: Fixing Shit and the Future

    Alrighty, so I've fixed all the links in my bio. The Ringtail Chat has been rebranded and repurposed to Ringo's Writing Chat. Drop by and check out other people's shit. Post your own artistic media. Maybe swing by for a sprint and see how fast you can pump out some words?

    Dude, Do You Know What Time It Is?

    Yes, me, I know what time it is, and we're nearing the point where I can focus-in on tying the rewrites into the shit I originally started touching up. Good times.

A Thief's Tale: The Road To Penance Release Schedule · 10:29pm Apr 1st, 2018

When do you guys want to get chapters for Road To Penance? I was thinking Friday nights, but I don't know when most people prefer to read, so you tell me.

I haven't started yet but Friday nights seem really nice, every fortnight, right? Or are you actually posting every week now?

Friday nights sound pretty good, it works especially well since it's leading right into the weekend.

Friday it is then.
It'll be a weekly release since the chapters are about half as long, give or take. I can pump out a chapter in a night if I go at it with intent to hammer one out. It might go to bi-weekly or drop to Tues&Fri releases for chapters

I prefer "it's done when it's done", but if you sure you can do weekly releases then Friday nights seems perfect.

Three hours of writing gave me damn near 5k in a chapter, so it's possible like the Popsicle, my man. Hell, my bi-weekly schedule for RTR, some shit that has chapters twice, thrice, and (damn you limited language) four times the length of RTP, was manageable enough to let me build a sixth month deep backlog if I wouldn't have broken the schedule during Christmas and carried the trend

Welp, that's perfect. :)

damn you limited language

There is an article on "fourice" and "frice" in UD and Wikitionary already, so buck the rules (and pick the one you like)!
Inventing new words is totally fine as long as everyone understand you. :)
BTW, in Russian language there is an official word for "four times" and very rarely used words for five and six times, but a word for (do something) "once" is so awkward that almost never used in the right form and Ukrainian only have "twice" and "thrice" in the vocabulary. There is a single word for "once", but it also have a meaning as "times" as in "four times" and almost never used without a quantifier due to that.

Languages are complicated. No wonder Shakespeare made up so many fucking words. Hell, I've had to make up a few in RTP

Another BTW, have you ever heard about "interrobang" and "irony punctuation"? Check out Wiki for these. It's a shame that neither ‽ nor ⸮ ever got a widespread usage. And there are even more exotic punctuation marks which haven't found their way into Unicode yet (even though a fuckton of fugly emojis did).

4831107
Fucking emojis. I despise the way that people use Goddamn pictures to replace the language that they've had their entire life to learn.

Yes, let's go back to grade school and use smileys to show approval! It's too hard to write out something meaningful!
