In a semi-rare, real life post, I wanted to let everypony know that I might be putting content out a little quicker than what I have been. Between a mini-stroke at work two weeks ago, this depression and now today a possible mild heart attack, it dawned on me that life's short. Take chances live life to the fullest. Visit nude beaches, if that's something you've always wanted to try. My cat is a complete pest before and after something bad happens to me healthwise and he has not

In two weeks the content (new and updated) from me will be slowing considerably. I received (and accepted) a job offer that is not only higher pay but also a different shift from the one I am currently working. I still plan on finishing My Little Voyager next but I'm now on a shortened timeline for writing my Christmas fic. That means that SciTwi Shimmer-Book 8 may not be released until after New Year's.

I've not managed to put down a single word in the last two months, which might not seem all that bad, that but was after after four and a half years of daily writing. I managed to write something every day even when dealing with illness, loss, and the international dateline. Not that things were doing all the well in the months before, as I've been dealing with being just completely emotionally and psychologically drained. I don't have any good reason for why I've been feeling like this, but it

I had planned to take 2 or 3 weeks off from writing but er...it looks like it'll be more than that now.

My coworker is leaving to pursue another job in about a month's time so I now have six months to finish the project we've been working on--on my own. This essentially means my workload has doubled.

To start with, this has been the longest pause in my writing since then late 90s, and it’s more frustrating than anything else. I feel like I can’t make any forward progress on any ideas, even though I’ve been starting to get more of them of late. I need to do something to change that, but it’s not as easy as just wanting to do something. Motivation and Action turns out to be quite different things to muster.

Joints feel really sore, but especially knees.

Also today was one of those days when I seem hypersensitive to sound. Had two researchers in my office and I don't know if they were talking at unreasonable levels of volume or if my brain was just processing it that way, but it was so difficult to cope with. And when people slammed doors it felt like a bomb going off in my head.

Just letting you all know that I’m in the middle of an unavoidable stint of jury duty, hence my inactivity this morning. Imanaged to accidentally volunteer to go back tomorrow*, so I’ll likely be going dark for a fair stretch then as well, and possibly the rest of the week as well. And if I end up actually on a jury... well, I’ll let you know then. Suffice to say, I had no idea how accurate the Azorius Senate was when it came to representing the oh-so-slowly grinding wheels of the

I've just received word that the person who's been harassing me for a year or so has plead guilty and will no longer be allowed to use a computer. Again, I'm sorry if any of you happened to be caught in the struggle, and know that all this drama is now officially over.

And on that happy note, I finally got a Discord account! It's quillamore22#0741 , so check it out if you ever feel like chatting with me!

Right. So- My job decided to close down because of all this. Everything that's going on in America rn. Which makes sense. The place is empty, there are hardly any customers anymore, and there's just nothing to do but clean clean clean. Everything kinda fell apart. We'll be able to open up after all this is over... but I've lost a reliable source of income. And now I have nothing to do but stay at home and do chores all day. I suppose.

It's that time again here in the US. Election Day's here, and depending on where you live, midterms may have a big impact on the course of the country. In the interest of not throwing a hand grenade into a garbage fire, I'm saying nothing more, aside from "Please go vote if you haven't already."

While searching for some old documents buried deep in the closet, I came upon a poem book produced by my senior year high school english class. In it were four submissions of my own (Despite my name being misprinted in the third one).

They're too goofy not to share, so I'm sharing them. Eighteen year old me was a gigantic nerd.

First, let me say sorry for the lack of updates lately. Everything has been fighting for my attention in real life, so I barely had any time to write. And, on top of that, I've had to deal with finals coming up. Real life sucks.

That's not to say that I'm permanently MIA, though. However long it takes, I'll try to start with regular updates sometime soonish. Every story that I currently have running will get at least some sort of update.

I don't know if anyone is near the Raleigh, NC area but I'm going to Animazement 2016 this year. It will be my first convention.

Not doing very well again.

Multiple reasons. It's probably a good thing I decided to take a break from writing before this happened but it likely would have gone this way anyway.

Need to curl up away from things that stress me out. Curl up like baby Discord.

Hey, guys.

I apologize for my lack of voice recently in terms of news updates and and story updates. Last Friday I got a story into my head that I really liked and had planned on pumping out for the More Most Dangerous Game contest. Got a lot of words on paper, and was really excited to get ~15k words out in one week, as that would have been the largest speed write I've ever done.

But then I got blindsided last Monday.

The head of the FCC, Ajit Pai, would very much like to end net neutrality. Given how most ISPs would prefer net lawful evil if given the option, this is decidedly a bad thing.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to know that Mr. Pai is formerly of Verizon.

So... i know I keep promising regular updates, but unfortunately, life gets in my way and constantly gets in my way...

So i was wondering...

Do you, my followers, still want to see my story continue?

If so, would you be willing to help?

Feedback is welcome.

Eagle eyed readers might have noticed that I've removed the PayPal link on my user page.

Why? Since I can't access money on that account right now, I don't feel that it's honest leaving that hat laying there, so to speak.

Well, expected but still unexpected. My current job is a contract position, and when all of this Covid stuff started, the company I'm working at did a blanket extension of all possible max end dates for another three months. That put my date at the end of the year. The contract itself is updated every three months, so original it was supposed to end at the end of September.
