It has come to my attention once again that it's November, a month where I finally have an excuse to spend hours of time each day agonizing over writing a single sentence. Or at least, that's how it usually goes when I write long form fiction (you may have already seen).

Hiya, lovely peeps!

And wow. Wow.

When I first published Ladybugs Awake, I made a corresponding Behind-the-page. In it, I said that I was so genuinely surprised by the reception and expressed my gratefulness to all of you.

And then you proceeded to shatter my expectations.

100 upvotes? 100 upvotes? It baffles me how well this story is doing.

One thing we still haven't heard much at all about yet even after six seasons and multiple comics, are the origins of Discord. His history is as mysterious as his mental processes.

Good evening!

As of today, I've had my first story featured on Equestria Daily! It's Music for the Mare in the Moon, the selfsame story that I wrote with Miss Spectrum and submitted a few days ago. So sorry, no new story--just me geeking out about appearing there.

...you miss the feature box by this much.

(If I cared about success, this might actually be tragic.)

Admittedly I have ceased to pay that much attention to The Daily Show since Jon Stewart left; Trevor Noah is a great and hilarious host but . . . where's Jon's bite? Here he is in one of Trevor's finer moments.

A few minutes ago, I posted chapter 30 of Solstice. This is an achievement in and of itself for me, because I don't think I've ever written anything with that many chapters before. But it also marks three weeks of actual, daily updates to Solstice—something I promised myself I would do as a New Year's Resolution and never actually expected to succeed in.

I was recently diagnosised with Autism. Which is a thing I have suspected for a while now but you know nice to have official diagnosis and what not. I also have had a cold, well bronchitis which is basically cold plus, and so I have been in a funk but thankfully it hasn't been much of an emotional thing. That is till today. I feel so off. Like there is something wrong and that I fucked up somehow. I don't really know how I did that but I can't seem to get in any writing because of it. Which is

Here and here are two links that I just recently found.

Man, I didn’t even realize we got onto EQD and FOER (Though FOER needs an update for the story)

But other than that Ch4 is being worked out so don’t worry!

Random Fact: It is late, my mind is on low-power mode, I’ve been using my PC as a home theater since 10 pm, and having a Sound Blaster installed is probably the best thing since PC bleeper speakers.

Pinch me; I'm dreaming.

EqD banned Carl Cornejo in light of evidence I had compiled that suggested his account was being run by a bot.

Since then Carl Cornejo has appealed the ban.

I am utterly gobsmacked. We're living in a fairy tale – the best-case scenario.

The Christmas Log:

There is a Christmas tradition where you beat a log until it poops out presents while singing a song about it pooping out gifts.

This is the song you sing while you beat it:

shit, log,
shit nougats (turrón),
hazelnuts and mató cheese,
if you don't shit well,
I'll hit you with a stick,
shit, log!

My mom and I went outside and saw a bunch of cops, paramedics, etc. in the parking lot. We asked the neighbors what was going on. Apparently one neighbor heard a female in the apartment above them screaming and telling a male invader to 'get out of her apartment' at around midnight.

The neighbors called the police. They showed up and took the lady to the hospital in an ambulance. The attacker/ invader still hasn't been caught as far as we know.

Lyra's Random Thoughts Compiliation #1

This is a compilation of random thoughts, ideas, and musings I have on a daily basis. Read at your own risk. My mind is a very odd place.

Random Thought #1: I enjoy trolling people on Tinder disguised as a giant hamburger anthro with extra cheese.

Yes I know. I'm going to Hades for this. Oh well. At least I'm having as much fun as possibly before I get there.
