No, the parenthetical joke isn't me being an idiot. Allow me to ramble for a moment, provide some happy numbers, then ramble some more.

Weekly Update, 11/3 · 8:56pm Nov 3rd, 2020

Happy late Halloween, everyone. No funny parenthetical this week, I've spent all morning cleaning and unpacking more books that I brought back with me from Kansas, so I'm a little low on creative and funny juice.

In that front, I've learned that I left a bunch of my manga in Kansas. Again. I'm not very happy with this revelation, as most of what I left is Chaika, Nothing Happens: The Manga, Deadman Wonderland, and JOJO. Along with a bunch of normal books too, but they're less important.

Weekly (Actually Sober) Update, 10/27 · 5:00pm Oct 27th, 2020

Last week was fun, wasn't it? I'm surprised I was so eloquent on my last update given the volume of alcohol I drank and how I was typing: lying in bed, twisted sideways and typing on a very tiny keyboard. And only one typo too, at least that made it into the finished product. I'm home now, in not-so-sunny Chicago, and ready to resume work once I get some other things out of the way.

Weekly (Pre-Roadtrip) Update 9/29 · 10:41pm Sep 29th, 2020

I'll just go ahead and put the part that you want to see first: I've got what will probably be the prologue for To Dream is Divine sketched, and about a quarter of it written. I've also got some good ideas on where the story is going to start, and go. Still working on the ending, but once I've got some of this high-level stuff out of the way, it should be pretty easy to start actually bashing out chapters again. I'll go into more detail on the final plans when I get closer to that point.

Weekly (Actual) Update 9/22 · 4:03pm Sep 22nd, 2020

So, I know the handful of you reading this every week know that my progress has been... slower than I would have liked. There's been some stuff going on in life, which kind of makes it hard to sit down and focus on a thing. Plus getting something started is always super difficult for me. I have to figure out how the story starts, where it ends-ish, and what has to happen in the middle to make those two mesh out fine. In the case of Filly Friends, I had a theme, an idea, and all that I had

Weekly (Delayed) Update 9/15 · 7:21pm Sep 15th, 2020

Don'tcha just hate it when you're staying up until three or four in the morning to think on a project you want to write, just to come up with a way different idea? An idea that could actually make a decent story on it's own? One that won't get out of your head no matter what, making it impossible to focus on the story you're trying to write?
