    Issues Going On, No Promises Made

    Long time since I've posted here, but I've been kept very busy the last four days or so.

    TL;DR-On work furlough for at least three weeks, I did get one full paycheck coming next week. Past that, I'm burning my remaining PTO for my company's health care, which will last about five months-call it August/September before I have to pay the company for my healthcare every two weeks.

    So, Nearing The End Of 2018...

    And, between work, commute, the novel that I'm writing, and everything else, I'm lucky I can get things in like sleep or anything that could be considered "fun".

    2018 was kind of a kick-in-the-nuts sort of year for me. It was not good.

    But, there's some light at the end of the tunnel and I might actually think it's not an oncoming train.

    I'm Writing Again...

    ...just not Pony stuff right now.

    Since about...call it the early part of December, I've been writing a completely original story. For those that are curious, it's very much a Magical Girl story...if it was written by David Drake.

Issues Going On, No Promises Made · 4:17pm Mar 21st, 2020

Long time since I've posted here, but I've been kept very busy the last four days or so.

TL;DR-On work furlough for at least three weeks, I did get one full paycheck coming next week. Past that, I'm burning my remaining PTO for my company's health care, which will last about five months-call it August/September before I have to pay the company for my healthcare every two weeks.

However much I might complain about being in the People's Republic of California, I can apply for unemployment almost immediately, and as long as nothing bad happens, I'm okay for as long as unemployment lasts. Not good, but if I can get at least half my monthly paycheck as this goes on, I can pay my bills and cover debts and even put a bit away for savings. My only real debt is my credit card, so paying that off is Priority One of my last full paycheck.

I'm hopeful I can get rehired back at work when things get better, but just to be safe I'm going to be putting in at least two resumes a day, applying anywhere and everywhere I can.

On story writing-I don't know how much MLP stuff I'll be doing, because I have an actual, honest to God, original novel that I'm almost done with. More details when I get it up on Kindle.

Questions, comments, complaints on my life?

It's months later, now, and in my opinion things have definitely gotten worse. I'm just reading your Dusk Shine story - it's been years since you last wrote on Fimfiction.

Hope you're doing well, with your novel and your life. :)
