It's my birthday.

Things aren't going great.

I don't know how to talk about that without being depressing and self-pitying.

I'm glad ya'll are here, though. I'm glad this community is trying to stick together despite the pandemic.

Stay safe, and be excellent to each other.

Peace.

Not super feeling it right now, guys. Got a meeting this late afternoon/evening and another tomorrow morning, involving co-workers, a performance review and a meeting about our current product. (The performance review should, honestly, be fine, but that's not going to stop me from worrying.)

I could have typed stuff during the con, but, well - it was a wonderful convention and i want to gush about it later.

Holy SHIT you guys did a lot to "A Demons Love." I'm surprised this many of you trudged through for as long as you did. Fucking TROOPERS.

Well, your diligence is being rewarded tonight. We've come to the end of "A Displaced Monster" at last. Soak this up while you can.

After a week of having a badly distorted sleeping schedule that made me too tired to be productive half the time, I have finally righted the ship of sleep to the point where I am actually awake during daylight hours and asleep at night (for at least a few hours). In celebration, I thought I’d start attacking all the new stories I missed reading while I was dazed and confused for the holidays.

Today’s stories:

I thought I had enough money in my account to buy underwear and groceries at Target. I did not. Now, ten dollars, that's not too much. I'm sure I could find someone to sell a couple grams of God's green herb to to make that up. But then I forgot that Planet Fitness (the place I shower at since I live in my music studio) charges a $40 "Maintenance Fee" or whatever every July, rather than, you know, making their monthly rate like 3.5 bucks higher. So now I'm $49 in the red, and if I can't solve

I don't usually do blog posts, aside from the occasional announcement or random thing, but this has been on my mind for a while.

Been gone for a while. I'd rather not cover the why issue since I already told one of ya but instead focus on how I kept distracted these last five days....

GENCON!

Yeah, yeah, it's a four day con but we left the day before so we could be there at the crack of dawn. We even exhausted our entire alcohol supply on that first night, trying to make a drinking game out of cards against humanity.

Yesterday, I received my 100th follower. That's right, after 2 years writing MLP fanfics I got 100 followers who think my works are worthwhile! I can't begin to describe how happy this makes me. Before I started writing, I went through an emotionally trying time, when I wasn't sure I wanted to live and didn't see the point of my life, but thanks to FimFiction and this Fandom I rediscovered my passion for writing and know my life isn't a mistake. Hundreds of encouraging comments, likes, follows,

Author. Yes, you, author. Come here. I am most upset.

I'm very, very sorry. A declaration like that typed out on a phone in front of a river is very scary. As an author who wanted to have his blog either be for comedy or stories, I feel it was very rude to drop that out of nowhere.

Also, not dead.

Sorry about the dearth of posts recently. I told myself that I’d get one of my stories done before I did some other pony stuff, and it turns out I’m really, really good at procrastinating.

On the upside, it did finally force me to actually get my story done! I’ve been sitting on it for far too long – in fact, I started on it before the Season 6 premier, and then managed to procrastinate on it for half a year.

But now it is done, and I am pretty happy with the result.

new chapters of Family Tree and Once Upon a Harvest Moon are in the works, so hang in there

and i've got a few unpublished ideas that need finishing/polishing, might publish those to put some new stuff out.

Getting There!

Travel insurance is a useful thing to have if anything bad happens to you. If your flights are messed up, if something goes wrong with the hotel, etc, it’s travel insurance that’ll get you your money back. Most importantly, it covers medical costs where you’d have to pay for that sort of thing.

But I’d be fine. Nothing was going to go wrong.

A lot went wrong.

Alrighty, kids, I've got a fun one for y'all today. Like, y'all know how some authors—even me, when I remember—do state of the author blogs for particular months? Mine would be mostly working on this one, specific truck.

But first, you know what to do:

So if I'm snarky/rude or giddy/slap-happy, I purely blame my lack of sleep last night. And the night before. And the night before that. And so on. I... am a light sleeper. If I hear-a-loud-noise/feel-something/see-a-bright-light, I will likely wake up. It also takes an hour or so of staying still to get to sleep... Blegh, it doesn't help when a certain someone I will not name decides to watch a movie/tv at normal volume.
