How am I supposed to compete with that??

I need to know if I should really put in the effort on a few things. If I should even bother with them at this point.

Who kept up with my fics? Who has been genuinely entertained by them? Who actually wants to see them continue? And above all, who needs it to be me who continues them? Because honestly, I can't justify all of this.

So as you guys have likely seen, I have a new story goin' out right now. It's not exactly right to call it a story, though. Talking is Hard is meant to be an exercise so I can practice dialogue, which I've gone on record several times to say is the bane of my writing. But I'm not here to talk about that. Not quite.

As I approach the weekend, it's time to give a quick update on things. By this time next week, I'll be on the road headed back to Texas. I'm moving for the fourth time in four years (a fact that aggravates me more than almost anything else), which of course means I will not be available until I find a place to stay. To that end, I'm saving most of my current projects - FMP, Switcharootaloo, and Locals - to my Drive folders so I can at least study them while in the passenger seat.

I was wrong. Things got worse. Things got much worse.

My bosses decided that I was making too much per hour for the work I'm assigned to do (grunt work). In other words, I was overqualified, and they brought in cheaper help from below me. After said help was trained and their collars fitted, they saw fit to lower my wage by over five-hundred dollars less per month.

I cannot keep my apartment on such a change.

Heh, I just noticed this. Talking Is Hard had a birthday just a couple of days ago, on the third. I missed the one-year birthday of my own practice collection. Does that mean it's not worth remembering, or is the fact that I'm blogging about it now mean that it's more important that most of my other stuff?

I dunno. Just felt like bringing it up.
