Week two of me not posting, for the most part the week has been ok. However life sometimes likes to dump on you in small ways that add up. People saying this or that, people in your life making small comments, hearing them from your friends. Its been adding up and when some people snap, they get loud and angry. Me I am the opposite I go cold and silent. So that is why I have been late today, kinda hit my snap point and had to be away from people for most of the day.

Talking to you all from my break from writing. Its going good. Haven't actively touched anything for my story, not even editing, and feeling more rested then before. Usually this is my day that I update but as you all know that isnt happening this week.

So instead of an update I am asking: how you are all doing?

This blog post has nothing to do with Fimfiction, by the way.

More on what happened during those four hundred and twenty hours after the break.

So blogs are a thing here. I doubt this will be a regular thing but I've been thinking about this thing for a while and figured I should put it somewhere, in case someone else wanted to think about it too.

So, if anyone read my last blog post, you would have noticed that I may have mentioned I was military.

Well, unfortunately, due to medical issues, my employment with my country's armed forces is coming to an end. Things happened, things changed, and I'm researching how I'm going to move forward on this.

As the title says I bring you good news and bad news.

First up the bad news. My desk top died. The writing program and my custom dictionary all gone and I cant get them back. This means a significant though temporary detriment to my writing.

Good news: I had just saved all my notes and such on both The Alter Accords and My Little Tactics which means I can continue writing.

I’m working with BlackRoseRaven to develop a story about Princess Twilight in a journey to get back to Equestria after a trans dimensional mix up sends her to the world of Avalice from Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced.

There will be mature themes such as violence and sexual stuff. Please let me know what you all would like to see. I’m going to at least have full body nudity and one or two sex scenes.

The setting will be ff version of Equestria Girls.

So, I've been away for a number of years, and honestly? I'm angry at myself. Sure, at the moment, I can justify it by saying that it's because my internet is so bad at the moment, but in the end, that's just an excuse.

I'm reviving my old story, Future Tactics - The War Games, for a good reason.

The story was fun to write, and is fun to write. However, this post is a double-header for a reason.

So, haven't seen much from me for a bit, and there's a reason for that:

I've been rewriting and reworking the prologue chapter for Future Tactics - The War Games! The original Prologue was around 12 500 words, but considering how much I desperately needed to rewrite it, to bring it up to my current standards, it's coming along well! About 3000 words into the rewrite, and it should help fix some of my glaring issues that still come up from the original.

Now, on to other things:

First off, it's address as in I am addressing all of you fantastic people who follow me and read what I put out - all of you make writing so very worth it.

Now! Here's the main kicker:

Hello everyone! Yeah, I've finally finished the next chapter! With a lot of it, I struggled with the sense of scale I was trying to convey. In a sense, I was thinking of the market scenes you would see in the show Firefly, which to me felt real, alive. I've been in markets like that, back in 2010, when I went down to Guatemala. The markets are loud, filled with bartering, and they're always a treat to be in. You never know what you'll find (In my case, I found an actual Cavalry Saber.

So! Bunch of XCOM stuff here!

First of all, here's a signal boost for Project Stardust! Do you want your own leather-bound copy of Arad's Stardust?

Can Twilight earn the trust and friendship of people who are by nature suspicious and hostile to anything that isn't 'human'?

The saga continues! Also, turns out that Better Advent will work perfectly with the Legacy DLC whether you want it to or not! ?

You can listen to me rage and ramble!

So, this'll be a short blog post.

I don't see comments from people anymore. Do people really not have that much of an attention span anymore that long-form stories like mine, with decently long chapters, no longer get attention?

Has it come to the point where it's not about the quality of stories, but how many you pump out, or how many chapters you put out?

A different Final Fantasy.

This game plays different from other Final Fantasy games. Towns aren't much of a thing in this game. They're basically menus where you can shop, hire mercenaries and take quests. The real stage are the battle fields. And they do some great scenes with these stages.
