Goodbye, Fimfic · 11:15pm Dec 1st, 2020
For the confidence I’ve gained, for the words I’ve written, for anyone who ever saw anything good in my stories, I say thanks, FimFic.
Wish I’d been able to finish things properly.
No one tells a story like you do.

Happy fourth fimmiversary to me! Thanks to all my foes and all my friends. I don’t have Story updates this time around, but I do have art!
I commissioned the amazing artist Just The Fangirl for the new cover for Life’s a Show!
I tried fighting through it, I really did. I appreciate everything I’ve been able to do here and all the friends I’ve made. But, unless something drastic changes with my emotional/creative state, I’ve burned out almost completely and need to step away from FiM. This isn’t goodbye, it’s just goodbye for now. I hope to update in the fall, probably August. I’ll see y’all then.
TL:DR- Work sucks, I know. Hope to have Twilight Dragonkle Chapter 4 by the end of the month. Also I can’t make it to the last Bronycon.
If, for some reason, you want to hear my personal/professional woes?
Soon
I have the distinct feeling that my creativity is almost back. It’s like the smell before a storm. The drive that took hold of me is about to grab me again.
I have nothing.
That’s the scariest admission. I tried so hard to have something. Anything. But drafts aren’t up to par. Ideas aren’t flowing. In spite of the fact that I gave myself so much time, I feel like I squandered it. And then I feel like that is the perfect living metaphor for my whole life up to this point. I’ve had so much time to make something of myself and I just haven’t. I haven’t put in the work.
I’m sorry.
I know, it’s not even Halloween yet, sue me. But Jinglemas 2018 was announced and I am all of the excited❣️
If you wanna join like I did, here’s the thing:

A 1-5k fic is a pretty solid few hours writing, so the time frame is generous, if you can swing it. Go, read, join. Maybe I’ll get one of ya as a Secret Santa!
Just kidding (sort of)
Expect new chapters by my birthday, November 28, at the very latest. I’ll be turning 30. Given how little of my goals I’ve accomplished, I’m not exactly thrilled.
Discord server coming, just need to work some things out and I’d prefer to do it on a laptop. Speaking of which, I have one of those now that isn’t older than most second graders. Now all I need is WiFi at home (and glasses).
Much luv,
TAM
Since the first, I’ve switched to drinking just water. I still eat as badly as I did before, before you ask. And it’s a radical change for me because I was hooked on soda and caffeine. In the week before I gave it up I had somewhere in the ballpark of at least a two liter a day. One day was easily four to six liters. It was a can here and here and here and a convenience store extra large there and there. It all added up. And i was still always tired. Still spiking and dipping on my
