Hey. It's me again.
Uhhhhhhhh...
So... yeah. I've been gone. I don't really have an excuse for why. The most honest truth is "I've been working through some personal demons for the past few months" and all that. Also: my first semester of college hasn't been very nice. Failed 4 of my 6 classes. So, yeah. That's not been fun. But hey, my editors have been working great and they've got all of the rewrites edited and ready to go. I'm gonna throw a few finishing touches on them before I send them out, but you should see that very soon. Chapter 10 has been choppy, so we'll see whenever that comes out. I've got two different drafts of Chapter 10, both half-finished, and I haven't decided which way I want to go yet. We'll see.
Alright, that's the end of the updates. Anything beyond here is just personal stuff, so feel free to stop reading here if that's not your thing.
On a completely different note, I've been getting super into Dungeons & Dragons. I've been binge-watching Critical Role on YouTube and I've started showing up for the live streams with my friend and hosting a watching party on Discord. I gotta say, that kind of storytelling and world-building is a lot of fun. I've even gone out and bought the Player's Handbook, Monster Manual, and the Dungeon Master's Guide as well as a DM Screen. They're the Limited Edition alternate artwork covers and I've fell in love with them. I've been working on a one-shot to run in my friend's campaign.
Which is sort of what's been drawing my attention from MLP stuff for a while I apologize, again, but we'll see what happens there.
Also, I've filed my paperwork for an M1 Garand. It'll get here at some point, apparently they're pretty far behind on orders right now. That'll be great when it gets here. Reenacting's been going well, too. Got to gun for a tank crew in a show recently. That was lots of fun.
Anyway, I don't really know where I'm going anymore, and I have to get ready for work, so I'll leave this here. Feel free to comment and tell me how slow I am or whatever. Discord server, as always.
See y'all around.
Well, it sounds like you’ve been having a lot of fun lately, I tried to get into DND once, but it just wasn’t my cup of tea. I make the joke to my friends that I think I’m just too dumb to play it. In reality I think my patience is just not good enough. But I can definitely see how people can have a lot of fun with a game like that. Failing classes is definitely not fun, I know the feeling.
M1 Garand, you say? Is it chambered in .458 Winchester Magnum?

Nah, lol. It's .30-06.

Yeah, failing classes isn't fun. Most of it is a combination of my own laziness and just going to a class where I don't know anybody and nobody seems to really care about my existence. I went from seeing my four best friends in the world every day to going entire weeks with never speaking a word on campus. It doesn't make the best time at college, but we'll see what happens.

Aw, come on! Nothing says "Fuck you, fuck your cover, fuck the five guys behind you and fuck my shoulder!" Quite like .458 Winchester Magnum.
But, if you want to stay "original" .30-06 works.
5179782
Lol. I'm staying original because it IS original. Refurbished original M1.

Ah. Well, I tip my nonexistent hat to you, Author. Quite a bit of coin you're letting go for such a treasure.
Stars know, I have my own collection things. I'm quite fond of humanities creations. Such rapid evolution.
