    And all my data's been restored. It even costed less than I was originally quoted. Still pricey but I got my data back, and backed up on 3 different USB drives.

    Proof I'm not dead

    So I'm aware I've been dead quiet lately, and I felt the need to touch base. So here's a peek at the next song in the upcoming chapter without any context. My way of giving you something. Its no where near finished, but progress is being made.

    Harddive died

    Last year when I had my little vacation I noticed my laptop having signs of its approaching death, so I ordered a cheap external hard drive. It was a panic purchase, I am very uneducated on computers aside from their general use, and copied all my data. I since used it as the main storage space to keep microsoft's prying eyes out of my affairs (its the spirit of the thing rather than having

VICTORY SCREECH!! · 7:46am Feb 7th, 2019

FINALLY.

After all this damned IRL crap, I finally have a first draft of the new chapter of Lord Barleycorn done. Editing had to be done, but that's not as bad as getting things in order. As with any chapter that takes this long, I had to reread it, and previous chapters multiple times along the course of its creation. I hated it having to take so long, I hated keeping you all waiting, and I hated the creative rot that fell on me as I began to get used to not writing in the face of this BS.

For the record: the current google doc file has 14 pages of abandoned or scrapped ideas, segments, and even a whole unused portion I had to dump. That's not counting what I deleted or removed to help clear it. I don't know how many times I rewrote everything. I feel like I'm stepping on my continuity with this chapter so I'll be counting on you when its uploaded to tell me if I screwed up somewhere.

tl;dr: New chapter incoming. ETA editing time.

Just glad your doing OK, it will be done when it's done...

Another artist said that last part, but I think it's good for any artist out there...

Patience is a virtue, and wonderful stories like this one aren't written that often, take your time.
Meanwhile I'll go sacfifice another goat for the dark gods of literature.

Victory screech is right. Let's go!

And the peasants rejoiced.

Hooray!

REEEEEEEEeeeeeeee!
