Despite attempts to hold things together, and having what I thought was a functional detente, my marriage came to a screeching halt last night as my partner threw me out into the dark and cold with nothing but the clothes on my back. I am homeless, unable to return home for my things unless I have a police escort and before I do that I have to secure a place to live.

I've gone and reworked my Patreon. Mainly because the OC slots were becoming commissioned stories in their own right without being actually commissioned. In place of that I've added a slot for another commissioned story and a tier for voting. Patrons at the $2/month or higher level get to decide what I'll be working on each month via a poll.

First off, Happy Canada Day to everyone! I was late to loving my country but I really do love living here. Also, to my American friends, Happy 4th of July, early one that is :) I've yet to find a video that better describes the relationship between our two nations better than this one from the 2010 Winter Olympics..

So, things are changing a bit.

Some of you may know that waaaay back last June I ran into some serious financial trouble and that one of my patrons rode to the rescue and saved my ass.  In exchange for the ass saving I had to pay them back in words. 100,000 words to be exact. So since then I have been labouring under that lash while at the same time working to meet my other writing commitments.

Normally, I don't criticize the work of other authors here on Fimfiction because I know how utterly horrible I was in the beginning and how much more I have to learn. Sometimes though, I have to vent or my head will pop off my shoulders. This was directed to a story, now deleted, by an author, who is now banned. At least temporarily. The author had eaten a 24hr ban before this apparently for the same story, which they supposedly re-submitted with no edits. Big surprise it got punted again.

Ha!

Yes, after over a year and several false starts I finally, finally have proper art for The Bridle Path. As most of you know, that story was the very first story I wrote, not only here on FimFiction, but in general. Despite its errors and flaws, it still holds a very warm place in my heart and it always does me good to see a notification about it cross through my alerts.

This was my second story here on Fimfiction and I had great fun with it. However, I just plain ran out of ideas for it and it's languished in hiatus for far too long. So, as of today, I'm marking it as "Closed."

Oh Murphy, forgive a poor sinner. Three weeks ago I set myself a challenge, to write 1500 words a day. In my arrogance I said, "What could possibly go wrong?" Oh, Penalt...you poor fool.

So, due to various events, combined with sad anniversaries and general life, I haven't written anywhere near as much as I like to over the past couple of weeks. I'd like to change that. So, for the month of February, I am posing myself the following challenge:

Penalt will write an average of 1500 words per day for the month of February, for a total of at least 42,000 words for the month.

The plague has struck my family. I got hit yesterday with an cold/ear infection, so things are going to be delayed a bit while I heal. Normally, being sick would give me an excuse to sit at my keyboard more, but with an ear infection the pounding of the keys is like a dwarf sitting on my eardrum doing the solo in "Wipeout"
