I'm too tired to title this

Hey everypony,
Just a quick update as to how things are going on my end.

I've been... drained, to put it frankly. For a number of reasons.
Of course, the winter holiday season is a big thing to prepare for, even if you can't go out and do fun things with friends and family, and I am honestly burnt out on shopping for a while. I can truthfully say I've never had more trouble shopping for my own family than I did this year.

I also got a job recently; it's technically part-time, but I work so frequently and frantically that it feels like full time. I'm a staff writer at the local newspaper-- technically, I wasn't supposed to be a reporter, but I get sent out to report on things anyway. And given that we publish every other day, I have to have something at least somewhat interesting ready at the drop of a hat. While I don't put as much effort in writing compelling material into a news story as I would into my own personal writing, I still have a lot of writing to do. And unfortunately, doing so much mandatory writing makes me less eager to write for pleasure. I'm hoping this job that I need won't be the death of my creativity.

So, while I know I say this a lot, updates are going to be slow, not that they weren't already which makes me feel like a terrible human being. I wanted to get that chapter of RD: POW out back in November, but after my birthday happened, I basically got wrapped up in holiday preparations and getting ready to start work. I have already started work on another chapter for it, so I'll craft it over late nights and free moments until it's ready. Unfortunately, I'm not going to have time to write any sort of Hearth's Warming special this year, even though I really wanted to. No ideas really stood out to me, probably because I didn't have much time to think about it.

TL;DR - Inspiration = low

Nonetheless, I sincerely thank all of you who stick around and enjoy my work. It means a lot to me that you read what I write, even when it's an obscene amount of time between updates. I may consider myself the world's worst author sometimes, but I'm so glad you don't.

-TMB
