Maybe this year will be better than the last.

I'd say more, but let's not tempt fate, she seems to be having a rough year too.

This isn't an endorsement, I have no facts and figures to offer you, no scandals to mention. I'll just say that this election may well be the most noteworthy in quite some time for the turnout, and early voting is still happening tomorrow. If you mailed yours in, check to make sure it was received. If it wasn't, there is still time to vote in person and cancel the mail in. No matter how you do it, be safe, and let's all be grateful that after the 3rd maybe we won't need to see another campaign

It's been a long while, sorry for the radio silence. I've... been going through some life issues of late. Long time readers and followers might remember my wife has had some medical problems in the past... and well...

Since February she was so consistently exhausted we finally just broke down and filed for disability. That's been an ongoing process since then, but in June... she had a heart attack.

I'm deemed essential, so... been kinda busy, more than a little stressed, but even if I have taken a little bit of time off from my main series, I still love working on a project. A while back I had an idea inspired by an image that I can't link to you, and it would not let me forget it. I knew exactly what was going on in that image, and had a scene and backstory written out in an afternoon.

Been a while, folks. Sorry for the radio silence but the holidays are a special kind of hell for people who work in retail and that extends a good bit into the following year before things calm down.

I've been writing still, though not as often as I would like or feel I should. I blew my own deadline for Folly of Princesses, but I do have a chapter in the works and will make every effort to finish asap.

Estee has an update blog here. Apparently people have done what they can to gather information and have gotten in touch with those who have the best chance to help.

Friends, thank you so, so much for your timely aid. Collectively, you helped me not only reach my immediate goal of saving my home, but helped me pay down some of the debt as well. I've gotten some great suggestions on how to deal with more of it, and a dear close friend is helping with the rest.

My friends, my readers, and anyone else who is willing to lend an ear...

I am so, so sorry to ask this, but I am at wit's end.

First, some backstory, because if you follow me for any reason, it's my ability to spin you a tale. This one is true, but feels no less unreal to me.

I just realized the last time I'd put out a blog was back in April. So, let's fix that.

I have still been writing, although it's been a bit rough. It's easier to write Twilight when worries and fears consume you. Also easier to write Luna when you think everything is your fault. Celestia's mindset works wonderfully when you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders. So, those work well, but it's so much harder to write Pinkie when you can't get into a happy and carefree state of mind.

Hey again. So, good news all around this time. Thanks to some wonderfully generous souls, I got rid of all the abusive loans and have achieved some sense of normalcy again. I can't thank you all enough for your help, from those who donated to those who spread the word, even knowing people cared was humbling and reassuring.
