[UPDATE] Progress report...of sorts · 8:18pm Mar 8th, 2017

I'm hoping to have two more chapters out by the end of the coming weekend, and conditions at work are helping with this, actually. The workload is so slow we're all literally coming up with things to do.

[META] Personal Standards the idea of a Patreon · 3:51pm Mar 7th, 2017

Now that my "Why is this so popular I just dashed it off in about 20 minutes?" oneshot has earned me the feature-box and that wave has settled down, and I've achieved my personal "OK, it's worth it to read" metric for my two larger works...

[FANFICTION FRIDAY] Hmmm...I may need more time for this... · 2:52pm Mar 5th, 2017

So this chapter is turning out to be a LOT bigger than I thought it would. What seems in the mind's outline to be a simple few scenes can require a LOT of additional dialog and narrative to stitch them all together. I'm torn at this point on whether to split the chapter or just post one really long one.

[FANFICTION FRIDAY] On research... · 7:53pm Mar 3rd, 2017

So for reasons, I needed to have an idea what kind of calendar Equestria would use.

Being fairly familiar with calendaring and having an armchair researcher's understanding of the history of them, I set about researching what we knew about the Equestrian calendar and built from there.

Facts we know:
* Our calendars are based on the sun and moon's movements through the sky

[FANFICTION FRIDAY] No poll or voting... · 11:42pm Mar 2nd, 2017

I'm not quite to the point with Lost Little Wolf where I feel I've gotten out all the major foundational ideas yet, so this week's FFF will be dedicated to finishing up that particular work.

Polls will be opening up soon to vote on what I'll be working on for FFF, so if you haven't already, take a little time and read my other works so you know what you do and don't want to vote for:

[Double Trixie Trouble] Ack! Lost reader adds! · 1:39pm Feb 24th, 2017

So a bunch of you have faved/shelved my works. Thanks!

I hadn't gotten around to thanking you personally, it's been on my to-do list for the last few days.

Today I found out that "a few days" is over a week for most of you. :pinkiesad2: I know this because the notifications that you faved/shelved my work were automatically deleted overnight.

If I haven't been able to give you one personally because of my own delays, please accept this badge:

Delays · 7:51pm Feb 20th, 2017

A bit of a delay in awarding badges, replying to comments, and working on the next chapter of LLW, I walked into work and some people decided to have some meltdowns, requiring I do a lot of cleanup.

Work will commence soon.

[COMMENTARY] The Valentine's Day Massacre...of my heart · 3:05pm Feb 15th, 2017

One thing about being divorced is some things hit you harder than you expected, even years after the fact.

If you've been reading "Lost Little Wolf" at all, you'll get the idea that I still am very much in love with my wife, even though her status is set to "ex-". I could go into the whys and wherefores, but I'll just point you at the YouTube video I made about it:

[FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS] I'm finally out of the Feature Box · 2:39pm Feb 14th, 2017

From Saturday to Tuesday, I was in the Feature Box for The Consequences of Good Intentions. In that time I gathered over 200 new fans of my work. I happened to post out the first three chapters of a new fic called Lost Little Wolf, which thanks entirely to the increased exposure from CoGI (...and now that I look at that acronym I REALLY should
