State of the Writer - August 2020 · 9:06am Aug 25th, 2020
It's probably about time I updated this blog thing, if only to push that last one off my profile page. So yes, in the last one, written way back in March, I had come down with a mild case of covid. Though it was mild case that didn't require hospitalisation, thank Celestia, it was deeply unpleasant experience that I can best describe as the worst hangover I have ever felt stretched over the course of a little over two weeks. Mercifully, I don't appear to have passed it on to anyone, as this coincided with the start of the lockdown and my working from home. A mild case of it is still awful, so please keep yourselves safe out there.
Anyway, since then, I've continued writing more Blueblood, easing into the routine of one chapter a month. I also had the time to write a silly little crackfic about public nudity and ponies which went down quite well, the rather volatile comments section exploding over a few harmless (and admittedly quite cliche) jokes about a certain world leader and a certain news broadcaster notwithstanding, and have been dabbling in a few extra things on the side that may or may not be worthy of posting one day.
I have been working from home since the lockdown started in mid-March. It's been a bit awkward, to say the least, and while I greatly dislike the intrusion of work into my home, not having to commute has balanced that all out. Being able to chat on the FIMFic Discord has helped to alleviate the solitude. However, from September, as schools re-open, I'll be back in the office full time again. Needless to say, I'm not overly happy about having to return to that little disease factory, though of course I will take all necessary precautions that I can. I have masks to wear, of course, and I am also fortunate enough to have a cage office to myself that I can hide in.
In more positive news, Kris Overstreet has started an audiobook series of Blueblood: Hero of Equestria, having done a first livestream that should be uploaded onto YouTube. So watch out for that.
You seem like an interesting feller

Hardly. I'm quite dull.

You're interesting in your dullness at least
Glad to hear you’re doing well!
Hooray for the recovery!
Not-so-hooray about needing to go back to school in-person. At least you probably can't catch Covid twice (though the jury might still be out on that one).
Awesome to hear about the Blueblood audiobook, even if I prefer to consume my books visually.
