This isn't going to be a happy blog. It isn't even going to be a relatively nice blog or a blog about anything be okay. I don't know when I'll be able to make blogs like that again, or frankly any kind of content in general like that. I'm not the site's most personal figure, and I never really aimed to be, so it makes sense if a lot of people hadn't realized that anything was really going on with me. I take the social out of 'social media' a lot by being what essentially amounts to a digital

I'm gonna be headed to a retreat later, and I won't be allowed to bring my phone

I won't be back until some time Sunday.

So if you're waiting for me to respond to a pm or comment, know it might be a while.

I'm mostly saying this because one time I left for a week and everyone thought I'd killed myself, so I wanna avoid that this time and every time I go somewhere I can't use my phone/laptop for longer than a few hours.

*finger guns*

Well, there are eleven days left for the deadline of the contest (remember: February 2nd), and so far we have one submission and sixty-seven goddamn applications.

Jesus fuck, my judges are going to die. I ain't, however. You can't kill what's already dead, and -- well, y'all read the berry blog already. Some things, a man can't come back from. I think biologically you can't classify me as human anymore. Gagh.

Right now, it is a little late for me to be making proper puns, so that is the best I have to offer. I've been typing mostly emails and other purely academic things lately. Though, I wouldn't be blogging without a few things to discuss. I hope that y'all will read on since I do want to do my best to get back in the saddle for... well, pretty much everything in my life. The first thing to get out of the way: I got my laptop back! The new battery is in, and it ended up costing far less than I

If you haven't noticed, I just uploaded a new chapter to Elements. That's right, EARLY RELEASE! Why? Well, for a number of reasons, but intend on keeping them all to myself.

What I will tell you is that while this is an early release, the chapter afterwards will be unleashed at the proper time a week and a day or two after.

After that, I intend on unveiling another story for the end of the month, but you won't see an iota of what's up until then.

Procrastination, I'm afraid we can't see each other anymore. I know that we have had many good times together, and those are times I will never forget... However, I think we both know that this has been a long time coming. I mean, I would have gotten to it sooner, but let's face it, you've rubbed off on me quite a bit, Pro.

Just spent a day at the villa chilling out by the pool. Got a pretty funny video to upload of that event too, providing this shitty tablet will work well enough to let me do so. Also had a surprise visit from the daughter of the woman who married my mom and dad back in 2004 when we came on holiday to America for the first time. Sadly that lady passed away from cancer, but it was lovely to see her daughter, her father, and her stepmom over at our place. We had a nice talk and conversation about

I know I'm rusty, but jeez it still sucks being told the story I wrote didn't do well. I honestly don't know if I should keep going.

There's no fucking way to preface this in a dignified way, so screw it. I'm being upfront.

I lost a fight against a streetlight last week.

And this where the fifth of my six installments will be. I will continue to go through Bride of Discord, and yet again, blog about the three chapters that I stare at, puzzled to what exactly is unfolding on my computer screen.

That means that there's going to be another block of text and me being bitter.

Aaaand we’re finally here.

What can I say, folks – it’s been a journey. I almost feel emotional writing this announcement.

This contest literally started as me idly muttering “would be cool to make one of those m’self one day” in a public chat. And now look at this! Forty-seven entries, more than four thousand views in the original announcement, we took over the featured box, and overall? I’m sure we all had a lot of fun.

14 more days before...before...something happens...

Hello, my lovelies. If you've not yet seen it, we have an interlude up for Star Trek: Phoenix written by my editor, Vic Fontaine. It features a couple of characters we haven't seen for a long while.

Only one more year until I officially hit Over The Hill, and it's no longer socially acceptable to celebrate birthdays as an affirmation of my advancement rather than a marker of my slow decline. So: Hurrah! I'm not old yet! [1] I've got another full year to make an original fiction sale before I stop being A Potential Up-And-Coming Author and start being That Old Guy Who's Still Trying To Break Into The Market! OH GODS PANIC

This is gonna be a long one and a special one (with good news at the bottom!)

As many of you have probably noticed, I am not straight. And I've increasingly, especially really recently, been a lot more open and honest about that online, that is. However that was not always the case, and it's taken me awhile to get to a place where I can even briefly mention it here, where I know my parents won't find out, without being downright terrified. IRL is a different story.
