I must confess, I had been contemplating whether or not I should write this for the longest time. For years, this very idea had haunted me. That I would forever live enshadowed by one of the longest works I'd never given its proper completion. That the work that had once been my passion project has since fallen to the darkest reaches of my sub-conscience. That this one unfinished work would itch in the creases of my brain like a bedbug bite I failed to notice until I was overrun by them. That

Jesus, the fact I still get activity on this site, in spite of my radio silence kind of astounds me, even now. I suppose I should start this off by saying thank you to all the people who still somehow manage to find my work and give it your favorites and shelf space. Even if you don't comment (and I would really, genuinely like it if you did), knowing you at least like it in some fashion is nice.

So it's been a whole year since I updated Hand in Hoof. Quite a sobering thought, now that I put it in retrospect. I've really been that horrible of a procrastinator in the last six months.

Jesus, has it really been four months since my last post on this thing? Too long, I say! Far too long. To that end, let us dispense with 2016 and all its maleficence and discuss things going on in the new year.

Serious blog time, folks. No fancy language or anything.

I literally have made my main PC inoperable because I am a damned idiot.

I'll try my best to make do until I can get it back in working order, but I wanted to make sure you all knew what happened.

Text for reference:

My, it’s certainly been awhile since I gave you all an update. About three months or so, going off my last blogpost, and Hand in Hoof hasn’t been updated in months. I suppose after that length of time has past, I might as well give you an answer.

Well, I really wasn't expecting much from my employment, but as far as my first job went, it was frankly kind of astonishing. I made just over $900 total in terms of wages, and that was in the month of December alone. However, I was told on Christmas Eve that my temporary period had ended, and that I could potentially be employed once the new year came around. At least, that's what I think my supervisor told me.

I'll try and make this short and sweet. No pictures I've grabbed off the internet, no tiny captions; just a nice, frank update.

How goes, everyone? Another blog comes this month, and this one is...bitter-sweet, if I had to describe it.

As the title may suggest, the most important reason for this blog post is something that will affect my productivity quite drastically. More at eleven.

Well, remember how I said I was having PC Woes way back near the end of February? Welp, they're back again, and this time, it's most likely my hardware.

You know, in hindsight, I probably should have realized before I started Camp NaNoWriMo that one of my greatest weaknesses when it comes to writing is time. While I am naturally a pantser, I typically work off of a loosely-based plan in my head and take time to work out scenes and moments in vague bullet points, I am typically the type who works off of momentum. If I can't get momentum going--or have no earthly idea of what I aim to do--I will typically drop a project like a piping hot

The next chapter of Hand in Hoof is done, for the most part. I simply need to finish working out the kinks with my editor and I'll be able to post it.

However, I should confess that you likely won't be seeing an update in July, but this time, it's not simply because I'm a slow writer at times.

It's actually because I've just started Camp NaNoWriMo!

What's good, my internet lovelies? I'm feeling particularly peachy today because I just received my AlphaSmart 3000 in the mail today! What's an AlphaSmart 3000, you ask? Well, imagine if a Dreamcast and a typewriter had a glorious baby. That's what this thing is. As it stands, I'm feeling loads more productive when I use it, and I feel that's for a very good reason. See, when I said it was a digital typewriter, I meant that very seriously; this thing's primary function is to be a word

It just occurred to me I haven't made any blog posts since my spontaneous vacation to the Gulf Shores. So, I might as well catch you all up to speed.

(This post is mostly going to be gripes and just a general update on how I've been and how my writing progress has been going lately, and what might be affecting it.)

So, how about that winter weather? To think that spring is so close and the weather is this awful makes me hate winter as a season. Sure, the holidays are great and all, but once those run out, it's back to the grind against the wheel of life.

I'd like to preface this by stating that, full disclosure, I have been distracted by a number of games lately. As the title suggests, I've been getting back into Monster Hunter, and by god, I was missing a lot. Through some miracle, I was able to give my PSP a charge again, and Monster Hunter Portable 3rd was the last game I had on it. While it took me a bit to get back into the swing of it, I loved every bit of it. If I'd bothered to take a recent one, I'd be happy to show my latest update to

(Redone because I hit ctrl-S like a gibbon.)

It is my belief that Winter is often a time of renewal. Often associated with death from the cold and rebirth in the Spring, the season is when most things prepare to refresh themselves for the coming year.

For that reason (and a few others, which I'll get to in a moment), I decided to commission an updated cover-art for Hand in Hoof.

Well, good news and bad news, first.

Good news is, Hand in Hoof Chapter 14 has been finished!

Bad news is, it still needs one last look by an editor before I can publish it, and given it's Christmastime, I might not be able to fulfill my mission to get it out by Christmas like I'd wanted.

Good news, I should hopefully be enjoying my friend's 22nd Birthday with a nice lunch at Red Robin!
