My friends and Mother have expressed surprise at the volume of writing I've been doing without being paid. My current rate over the last 80 days is 2 1/2 novels per year.

An author wants to be paid. Words completed equal money. It allow us to make a living doing something we love.

IN WHICH DEATH
A little less than 24 hours ago, I got word from my office manager that my late dad's beloved dog had passed suddenly. Here's a sad song.

Golden Retriever. 5 years old. Probably a snake-bite. RIP, my buddy.

So, all my work is pretty much on hold until my creativity comes back. On top of that, I'm moving into a new place, so I will have next to no time to work on anything at all storywise.

I apologize, but I REALLY need to move to the new place. Like, it bad here. Unhealthy bad. My shower 'drains' at a rate of 1" of water every 5 hours.

My experience with the blogging function of this website, as limited as it is this being my second blog entry, has driven me to scream into the void a question which shall fall from my lips with clanging echoes.

All day they cooked, the baker-ponies in their field-ovens,
But the hooves gripping their ladles were covered in batter
And the hollow pits of the eye stared, vacant and starved,

The hair-nets lay like blots on their thin manes,
The toque blanche splattered with powdered sugar and spice,
But they mixed the batter in the nests beneath the hill
As they had of old.

And the ovens glowed, and the mixing-machines, but there was no sound,

Too many people know already, so it's pointless trying to keep them separate. It's really difficult for me, anyway.

I have three other accounts on here.

The first two are A Follower and June. The third one is my favorite, and I've only ever told one person that it's me. I plan to keep it that way, even though it's hard for me.

In regards to the stories The Monster of Canterlot and A Monsterous Family Reunion

I want so badly to like this story, and its predecessor, really I do

But I can only read about celestia's super-powered half-alicorn son doing really irresponsible stuff and constantly just getting away with it because he such a nice guy for so long

So I finally finished the rough draft of Chapter 4 of Ballad of the Dawn. Honestly, it was a hard chapter to get through because, A) I needed to get someplace in the story in that chapter and B) there's a lot of character introductions to pad out their arrival to the story destination. It took me almost all month to finish the dang thing, and I'm finally where I want to be.

I am sick.

Like this, except actually.

I have been unable to do anything over the past week because of this illness. It's just a chest cold, but holy bucking road apples.

If schools are telling their students not to watch 13 Reasons Why, then why are they making them read Romeo and Juliet and make a book report about it? Doesn't it romanticize suicide as well?

that is all.

The RU tier is HUGE this Generation.

Granted, BL2 & BL3 haven't formed yet, and those will take a couple pokemon out. But God damn, its bigger than UU & NU COMBINED!

I know where I'll be spending my competitive time.

After my computer freezing early yesterday, forcing me to do a hard reset, my computer is now running a little slow.  On top of that, I can't even open my writing program, OpenOffice.  Not even to uninstall it.  I'm working on the issue, asking around...

I don't know what to do.

I can open Notepad, but that won't let me do as much formatting as OpenOffice could.  I need to be able to write normally...
