The Hell Year Known as 2017 · 7:54am Jan 12th, 2018

I cursed myself.

It was my fault, really, for assuming anything better than the worst for the year that opened with the swearing in of possibly the greatest embarrassment of the Great Experiment known as the United States. But I had yet to be crushed so completely and fully, and so I started the year out with an act of hope. I'll warn you now, this is gonna be a long ride, and not a fun one either. It has not been a good year for me.

I think I've almost got it · 2:03am May 31st, 2017

I'm not going to hit publish until I'm sure I've got everything stitched together properly - as much as it sucks taking forever to update, I'd rather only have to do it once and not go back and retcon anything.

But I think I've cleared the hurdle I've been stuck on for a while, and with any luck I'll be able to put down in words what has been floating about in my head for...years now in a way that I'm satisfied with sharing with all of you.

Word Vomit · 4:28am Apr 19th, 2017

I just had to word vomit a bit. I needed to publish something I wrote instead of tossing another Earth Pony chapter draft in the garbage, because I feel like I'm going nowhere. Which, I guess is true. But I gotta make some mark somewhere because...well, tossed drafts don't really feel like progress.

This Chapter Is Hard · 12:25am Jun 24th, 2016

I swear this chapter is going to give me an aneurysm. Who would have thought. I mean, a grey wasteland has lots of poetic potential, right?

Anyway, rest assured I am still smashing my face into the keyboard and will continue to do so until I have something of quality. In the meantime, I got bored at work, so have some Earth Spirit Scribbles.

Very tired all the time · 5:14am Oct 19th, 2015

I don't know if I mentioned this before - maybe not, because I'm still kind of sore about it - but that desk job I had? I got fired for being late. There's a bunch of bullcrap surrounding it - I wasn't given a warning or anything, to start - but honestly I hated that job, and I'm more upset about the stain on my record than anything else. But everybody knows the job market still isn't great, and I'm hesitant to go back to Walmart - I want to keep moving forward, and I'm afraid of getting a step

Earth Ponies Chapter Update · 8:06pm Aug 1st, 2015

New chapter is up.

It says it was published a couple days ago, but we all know that's not true.
Right?
Right.

[no title] · 10:23pm May 22nd, 2015

Perhaps you read the thing where I mentioned I had a new job, a stationary one, with a computer and desk and all that good shit, and perhaps you read how excited I was to no longer be a customer service jockey.
