Frustration.

That's what it all boils down to when I think about it. There's lots of other emotions that come to the fore, but once I skim the foam there's just one thing left. Anger, sadness, fear, regret, hope, and certainly others that are more difficult to identify - they all melt away and leave only frustration.

So yeah, that was a year, alright. A year of complete and total withdrawal of my person from this website.

It's been a weird year. Here's to an even weirder one.

Oh, hello. It's been a while. I have a good reason for not showing up in a while, you can be sure of that.

First, the [purely] good news. My father has undergone surgery to remove the tumor in his lung and was successful. He is now cancer-free, though missing half of his left lung.

Okay, so it's been months since I've updated Sleuth. Or my blog here. Or my WordPress blog.

Surely you must be asking, "Good God, what is he doing with his life?"

Well, a lot of things. Some of them are little things, some of the are big things.

For one thing, I've started coming out to my family about my bisexuality. This has been a rather stressful thing, for very obvious reasons.

Well, mostly, anyway. I've made a large amount of edits according to the feedback I received from you peeps, and I hope the quality of the chapter has been improved accordingly.

Now it should be at least mostly readable, so go check it out again if you haven't seen it! The plot hasn't changed much, but there are a few extra tidbits of information here and there that I think will help to explain a few things.

And now, on to chapter two! I feel like I can take on the world right now!

Yeah, so I decided to complete and publish the first chapter of Detective Sleuth on a whim. Once it goes through the submission process it'll be available for reading.

Let's see how this goes.

Things are going to end up being a little different than what I had originally planned. Yes, the detective fic is still happening, but I've decided to first do some one-shots to practice writing a bit before I tackle something as ambitious as that story. One will be a clopfic featuring Sapphire Shores and Rarity (thanks to Norm De Plume for the idea), and another will be a comedy one-shot of some sort. Expect puns and wordplay.

That's all for now.

Actually, "almost" is a strong word. Chapter 1 of my mystery/detective fic is about halfway done. I'll finish my draft and if I can't get anyone to revise it I'll just do it myself (because I'm stubborn like that). Harumph.

So, writing a mystery fic. Something new and exciting for all of the little people. Hopefully.

Bleh.
