While I continue to get better and also melt on what has been a day which reached 44.6 C or 112.28 F (first this high for the current season), I'm so happy to see Spot of Tea, Change for Me! reach 500 views! Thank you all who have taken the chance on it. I know it could have been a bit tighter if I knew what it was going to create in its wake, but I'm so happy to see it reach this point!

Again, thank you all!

Tael.

One, I'm sick. Unfortunately means the next chapter of A Deer Named John will take a little while. I'm really not happy about this, but not much I can do except rest and drink a lot of fluids. I'll still be around, reading, commenting and maybe giving some editing advice. Just creativity will be down.

Truly a picture to sum up my mornings following writing a chapter and posting it. I don't get much sleep those nights.

If anyone thought the puns in A Deer Named John were bad, I'm sorry.

I'm also sorry that they aren't quite as bad as the ones in the following video:

The painful horse puns start around the one minute marker.

Also, I am working on the next chapter but, if it grows too much larger, I may need to split it in two.

Working on the next two chapters of A Deer Named John right now. Had a few problems with these two in the past few days, but if things go as well as they have been today, expect them to drop sometime in the next 24 hours. The first could be in the next four to eight hours. These two have surprised me.

Update 1 - The first of the two chapters, Crossfire, is now posted.
Update 2 - And there's the second one, Wakeup Call.

Living with a permanent anxiety condition is a frustrating roller coaster. Can have days where everything is normal, feel fine to the point of not even noticing how I am. Then there are days like yesterday and today. Days where I am mentally incredibly low and, for the life of me, I can't figure out the trigger that comes down to an otherwise simple word: why?

Anyone else have their writing interrupted or suffer from a sudden bout of Consistant Anti-Typing Syndrome, or C.A.T.S. for short?

Symptoms include:
- screen blocking,
- keyboard sleeping,
- being used as an impromptu wrestling mat,
- fluffy cuddle demanding,
- disabled arm due to it being used as a pillow.

This happens to me a lot. Though I doubt there is a cure.

Yeah, so, that group idea I thought of for my last post. Yeah, kinda went and made it anyway.

Over here: Coping with Transformation

I'll get rid of it if there is no interest in it.

Tael.

Starting to think there needs to be a group dedicated to stories about former humans coping with being transformed into the races of Equestria. Not so much about the transformations themselves, there are many groups for them. More about stories where the characters struggle/deal with the changes they have undergone and the challenges/opportunities they now face.

Thank you all who have taken an interest and given a chance to my, admittedly, odd little group of stories. I'm so happy to see the support they have gained so far. I do have a rather broad question to ask, however.
