The purpose of a story is that it's a story. It can be more, but it can never be less.

    Friendship is Magic: the Musical

    So I've been trying to find ways out of my recent funk, and this was one of the most recent attempts. I thoroughly enjoyed the freshman season of Hazbin Hotel, particularly the outstanding musical numbers and how the whole season could, with just a few small modifications, be made into a Broadway style stage musical.

    So I figured hell, why not do the same with Friendship is Magic?

    Our Last Anniversary

    I've been radio silent on social media since my now ex-wife and I announced our split. A few days ago, I was moved to write this and post it on Facebook. Figured I might as well post it here as well.

    Folks say it's pretty good.

    It's bad.

    Real bad.

    So it should come as no surprise that my wife and I are divorcing. We're having to take it slow because she's so close to the end of her degree and I want her to be in a good place to help take care of our boys. We're still co-habitating, still friends.

    New Story Incoming

    It's taken years. Multiple plot revisions. The complete scrapping of "Silent Night." More false starts than I'm okay admitting. And, ultimately, it took the collapse of the life as I've known it to drive me into the mindspace necessary to find this lost child in the wilderness and finally bring her home.

    I hope the wait has been worth it.

Frustration · 1:33am Aug 1st, 2020

Since Monday;

-I've tested twice. Once Monday, once today. Monday test was supposed to have results in 3-5 days. Today's test is supposed to take 24-48 hours. Anyway you slice it, I'm likely stuck in this hotel room for the rest of the weekend... or if I can't scrounge the money together, sleeping in my car. So that's fun.

-I've shown no symptoms, so I was made to come into work... where I was forced to stay for at least two hours overtime each day. Also fun.

I've gotten little to no writing done because of my mindset, I spent a considerable amount of time and energy in a largely fruitless and contentious exchange of messages with a fellow writer over one sentence in a 1500 word message... and the cheese balls I got at the Dollar Tree were stale.

Not a great time, friends and Followers.

I hope you're all doing well, though.

Drop me a line. I'm kind of desperate for human contact at the moment.

-Jade

Dang, that's tough. Hope things start to get better. Take as much time as you need to get it together after this. We all understand. Just remember: nothing like this happens forever. Eventually, things will get better. It may take a bit, but I'm sure it will. :pinkiehappy:

That's really unfortunate! I just had an aunt recently get tested for the virus and thankfully she didn't have it, she recovered from what she had pretty quickly. I hope you'll recover too and get back to writing.

We would have had this pandemic under control a long time ago if people had been smart about it. Change requires action, not patience. Still, here's hoping you and everyone else stays healthy until then.

Jade I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm here if you want to message.
