I'm a father of three glorious children and they are both the hardest and best thing I have done with my life. However, when one teaches ones offspring to share, you should be prepared for them to share their colds and such with you. As such, I've been hacking up a storm for the past few days, which has slowed me down immensely.

But it hasn't stopped me.

Dashing off a quick note here to let you all know that thanks to Damaged I've been able to resolve my quandary over Chapter 3 of my "Twilight Learned" story.

The story, and the chapter, will continue.

Currently at 4200 words and climbing rapidly. Here is a small spoiler:

So, other than the usual frailties of a 50 year old body, things have leveled out as much as one could expect and I'm writing away at a decent clip right now. The rework of "Loving the Nightmare" didn't receive the acclaim I hoped it would, but fair enough. Not every story can be a hit. Which leads me into my current train of thoughts. I'm realizing that, without intending it, I've set myself up to write what is essentially a series of rape fics starring Twilight Sparkle as the victim.

So over the past couple of weeks I've been slowed or stopped in my writing again. One, my wife had a very bad fall, from which she is still recovering. So, I have had to take over many of her chores. Plus, during this period, we had a home inspection. We live in subsidized housing and every so often we get inspected.

Just wanted to let everyone know that due to a couple of sudden, severe life impacts all writing projects are on temporary hold. With luck the situation will resolve in a week or so. If things go poorly I will be on hold for a couple of months. So, wish me luck.

Penalt.

I looked up and realized I hadn't made one of these since Christmas and wow, have things ever been busy.

Well, Christmas has come and gone. It's been a very mellow time here and as I write this I am watching snow flakes drift down. Yes, life has its trials and tribulations, but it also has its good times and its moments of peace. Tomorrow is soon enough for such worries and is something for Future Penalt to worry about. Overall, writing is going fairly well. The only downside, if you can call it that, is that I no longer really feel the lash of the driving muse that Bridle Path was. I still

Okay, what I am about to write may shock many here.

I...am a gamer.

No, really. I'm a 50 year old gaming geek. If it wasn't the original pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons, it was the handheld Merlin toy. My first video game system was a brand new Atari 2600. I bought it from Zellers for $250. Every since then, gaming has been a part of me, and I, a part of it. Up through Colecovision, then the NES and PS1. Finally to PC.

Well, it certainly has been a busy couple of weeks. I was a little worried after I finished Bridle Path that I might not have any steam left to carry on. Happily the gold mine that is Damaged's discord chat is a source of both ideas and energy. So, in rapid succession I've punched out a new chapter of Queen Chrysalis, Relationship Counselor, a new chapter of Equestria, Destroyed, and a sequel to Thruster. Titled, Thruster, Mark II.

My wife is a knitter. Well more than that. She is an acknowledged Mistress of the Fibre Arts. But she also knits. Sometimes, even she makes mistakes and has to 'Ribbit' or rip it out. She has to undo stuff because it just isn't working and start over. And that is what I've had to do in the final chapter of The Bridle Path. The story doesn't want to end. It wants to keep going.
