Progress Report Week 47
Redline got my latest revisions and has started the publication process for my collection of adult fairy tales.  They should be out in a couple weeks.  Sales of my first collection have been superb.  Truly superb.  The third volume, the one with the more difficult language, isn't selling as well, but is still selling substantially better than Redline expected, so everything is good.  I sent her a copy of my first draft of the Aurora Nocturnae novel.  I have a lot of work left to do on it before it's even ready for editing, but I'm curious to see her impression of what I have so far.

I finally got the results back from Canterlot Hospital.  They found degradation in the fine structures of the brain, of my brain, the parts that manage mana flow and support the cortex.  They're not sure if the degradation is singular or progressive; but are sure that it is definitely responsible for my migraines.  I've tried reducing my mental activity to two threads, and am taking more frequent breaks, but that has only had a small impact on the migraines.  I hope they can figure out what to do about this, the pain is really getting in the way of my work.

Rose found out about the brain degeneration.  She kept crying and hugging me.  I tried to console her, told her that it's just a minor setback, the hospital is looking into treatment, and that I should be able to pull through and get back to my usual self.  That seemed to help, and we spent the night together talking and snuggling.  She helped care for Muffins as well, and was really sad to see her in such bad shape.
