    Solidarity

    A troubling modern trend is complex issues being boiled down to pithy quotes. Nuance matters. Context matters. Problems that have a simple and easy fixes don't stay problems.

    Nevertheless, sometimes the pithy quote is on point. This is one such time.

    Signal boost

    I doubt I can add much boost, but Horizon's blog post on sexual assault bears maximum repetition. For the good of the fandom, or at the very least in the name of being a decent person, check it out if you haven't already.

    State of the Author

    I continue to not be dead. :yay:
    Still job hunting, though. :fluttershysad:

    Words continue to happen, occasionally in the writeoffs, but mostly on the novel I've mentioned. I'm now about halfway through the first draft, and it's full steam ahead.

    See you all on the other side (or if I get a really cool pony fic out of the writeoffs).

    Interview!

    Hey folks, still not dead. I actually just finished an interview with SirNotAppearingInThisFic, which you can find here. Some great questions, and hopefully my answers are equally interesting. So go hit it up if you want to see me talk about writing, rockets, and stuff I've been working on.

    Enjoy!

I continue not to be dead.

Although my pony word output is embarrassing, I'm still quite interested in the fandom. In fact, just months after attending my first US pony Con, BABS Con, I had the honor of organizing Sad Sac 2018. My thanks to our illustrious guests of honor, horizon and Rocket Lawn Chair, with whom I was able to distract ourselves from not being able to make it to EFNW make the event a resounding success.

Horizon's post mentioned the decor, so I will share some exclusive pics of the venues, and their totally-not-coincidental equine-themed art:

Venue 1, and guest of honor, horizon.

Venue 2

Magnificent, no?

In other news, my writing has been through a few rough patches, what with getting a job in the US. I can't say I'm exactly thrilled with what I ended up with, but it pays the bills, and things have stabilized. Lately I've been able to establish a decent writing schedule, and the first draft of my main writing project - an original fiction novel - is almost done. Once I finish it, I'm hoping to take a breather before I switch to editing.

Ahyhow, those are the things, I suppose.

Oh my. I’d just about written you off as gone for greener pastures. Good to hear you’re still around and doing well. We’ve lost so many authors over the years who’ve just lost interest in the show and/or fandom. :fluttershysad:

Yay for notdead!

nah see three years without posting anything is still rather dead as far as activity goes. you may still be kicking around but these stories aren't.

What about your story "Just Passing Through"?

I'm working on an original fiction Sci-fi novel that has monopolized my writing time, as I would dearly love to quit my mind-numbing day job. The first draft is nearing completion, though that will be just the start of the revision process. Still, it will hopefully be less intense than the initial drafting.

Ok, I understand man. :twilightsmile:
It's just that it's totally such an AWESOME story! And its just been one big cliff hanger all these years. Xp :pinkiehappy:

Yeah, sorry about that; I guess it's not as bad when you know where things are going. I marked the story as on hiatus because I don't want folks having publishing expectations, but I still hold hope of finishing it once I can get back into a writing groove. For what it's worth, I have written 150k words since the last chapter came out - just not on JPT.

I meant to say years. Xp
Hey dont worry, it not being dead is good enough for me. :twilightsmile:

Same here, absolutely love this story. Be sure to drop us a link to your novel when it’s finished :twilightsmile:
