So it's been almost a year since my wife passed away and I'm still not quite right. I doubt I ever will be.

And that's both sad and okay. It's just a truth of how things happen.

That said, I am "coming up from bottom" so to speak and am better than I have been in a while.

I still intend to write but it's hard to free your inner muse when your heart doesn't feel free.

I'll get there eventually. Thanks to everybody who reached out!

Long time no post.

With the recent passing of my wife from cancer a great deal of things have released. A lot of stress is replaced with other things.

Some peaceful, some not.

But...even though it's all different now...some things are healing.

For now I'll take it.
Doing my best to move forward.

Thanks!

Okay...so it's been a real roller-coaster since about 2017.

2017 - my father has a major medical issue and lost some mental capacity and started down the road of dementia. We had to move him out of his basement apartment. I ended up with all his tools and his motorcycle in my garage clogging absolutely everything.

So...once again I seem to have gotten in a bit of a slump. Between life in general giving me some challenges and time crunches, and other issues, I seem to be having difficulty getting traction again on writing. Part of it is I'm really trying to resolve a health issue that requires me to be up and in motion a lot, and writing is sitting and contemplative/flowing for me. Still trying to train the older copy of the dictation software I have so perhaps I can go that route, but that's slow

And we're well into February now. Fun. IRL stuff has been hammering me and frankly I don't feel like I every fully recovered from being sick the first of the year.

On top of that I missed every writing deadline I set for myself.

I'm going to see if I can't get at least SOMETHING written this month but the odd are not in my favor.

Had a fairly okay December holiday. (I'm Pagan but we spent a lot of time with relatives for Christmas. It's all good.) But then literally the first three days of 2018 I spent with the stomach flu. What a way to ring in the new year.

Turns out I had the time to put it up here tonight.

Now...off to try and get some sleep.

I have it all done but won't be putting it up until I finish at least one more of Chance. I'm working on the third chapter of Chance tonight so I will likely be putting up the next chapter of Facets tomorrow.

Thanks for the patience!

I have to get A Chance of Grey written down. The words are weighing on me and they are in the way of getting other words out.

I'm sorry if that story is not what anyone wants but I need to put it down.

My apologies.

First chapter of the Celestia story completed. I'm holding to my policy of not releasing a story until I have three chapters written. I think it's seriously helping me commit to writing more because if it's worth writing it's worth three chapters to me.

Speaking of which I need to work on what Rarity's doing, Twilight needs to wake up from her nap sometime soon, , and I really need to sort out Pinkie's issues....and she HAS issues.
