    Personal life disruption

    Hey, everyone. I felt I owed you all an explanation for why it's now two weeks past the last scheduled update for Primrose War.

    So, I've had a bit of a personal upheaval. I'm moving forward with building a house, not immediately, but there's been a lot of talking with friends and family about what it'll mean going forward. So that's one thing.

    Unexpected Hiatus

    Hello everyone. I wanted to apologize for the lengthy, unexpected hiatus of The Primrose War. It was definitely unplanned, and this time I haven't been writing. Work, leading up to the holidays, has been more stressful than usual with the rush to get things done before I take my two week end-of-year vacation.

    Next chapter delayed

    Hello everyone! I apologize, but the next chapter of Primrose War will be delayed by a bit. Between work and a few novel releases that I've been looking forward to, I haven't made as much progress as I wanted to on the next chapter. I do have a solid outline, though, for the rest of the book as well as part of the next, so I haven't been idle.

Research rabbit holes · 5:14am Aug 22nd, 2020

So... I was researching some information on soap making to make sure that my information wasn't completely wrong, and man there is a whole world of amateur soapmakers and soapmaking enthusiasts out there. They're called "soapers" and they make soap out of basically anything that has a hint of fat in it.

I've found cocoa butter soaps (this one is pretty common, but I had to start somewhere), peanut butter soaps, goat milk soaps (I use one of these), cow milk soaps, olive oil soap, canola oil soap, just basically any kind of thing you could think of...

Pine tar soap... looks like a brick of pure evil.

And, for real, peanut butter soap is a thing.

I have discovered a whole new world of soap and soap-making techniques. I won't bore you in story, but this is not a typical research find for me. I was just so... wow. ALL THE SOAPS.

... look at all these soaps!

Stay clean peeps. Part 2 coming tomorrow morning. This is just an interlude bit of research.

... why tho?

I wonder if they can make soap out of unsold copies of Deus Ex: Invisible War?

I've always wondered what failure smells like.

Oh man... I remember that failure. That was a horrible game and I remember being so excited for it when it came out because I loved how rich the story of Deus Ex was.

I had a friend once who went to hospital because he swallowed some soap.

The doctor gave him a clean bill of health.

This blog makes me realize I haven't seen Midnight Dancer around here in forever. D: She used to make soap.

As long as the recipes you make use of aren’t actually from a video game, you’re ahead of the curve :pinkiecrazy:.

The pine tar one reminds me of charcoal soap and toothpaste.

It hurts so good. I larfed.

I'm afraid I didn't know her...

I shouldn't be surprised that people try to make things from video game recipes. Or write about ponies/people making them that way. I mean, there's an entire youtube channel for making video game food. (GameTime)
