Three things

1) running into a "Headbang keyboard" session of writer's block on FTMD, but I'm still working on it.

2) Don't be surprised if Rogue's Rules gets an update before FTMD as a palate cleanser.

3) And what do you get if you turn that M is FTMD upside down? Well, it's the working title of a "fun" story in the same universe as FTMD. It's a chance to universe build, without restricting it to Alex, Mary, or the girls :)

4) So far, the best thing about 2021 is.. it's not 2020. I've moved closer to family (the better to help deal with the medical issues I continue to face), and doing relatively ok, but still waiting on the vaccine to actually be able to go out into the world :P

Remember when I said if I post something soon, be surprised?

Well, SURPRISE!

FTMD Chapter 16 is in the queue. Back to the folks on Mary's Dream. My goal is to get at least one (more) chapter out on FTMD and Rogue's Rules before 2021. Muse permitting of course!

So, we're about done with this traveshamockery of a year (hat tip to the Simpsons), and I'm hoping that 2021 will see me release from virus-related home confinement. Have some ideas for writing, but running into roadblocks. Don't be surprised if I step outside my serials for a bit just to get the writing to re-flow. Don't be surprised if the serials return either.

DO be surprised if I post something soon, though, ok?

Life in lockdown continues.

It sucks.

Well, things about it rule (I now have a couple things around my place to help with my various health issues), but in general, it sucks.

I'm currently staying at family because my condo renovation has gone way way over schedule. Even a month later, it's only liveable, but not comfortable. But hey, when friends and family are doing the work, bitching about the amount of time it takes is a faux pas, right?

Writing? I dunno. I'm trying.

So.

Here we are.

It's been an up and down (mostly down) couple years since I've last been able to work. The stress of having no money coming in for TWO YEARS (over that really when you consider the time I was on leave from work) really took it's toll. Family helped, but that did nothing for my mental state.

That changed today. It's not over, but the light at the end of the tunnel is growing stronger, and I'm 99% sure it's not a train. I had my disability hearing and the judge said he was going to enter a judgement of "fully favorable", meaning he agreed that A) I am unable to work full-time, and B) I haven't been able to work full time for two years.

It will allow me to pay my family back from my disability reward, and more important (at least to my long-suffering reader), it is a 9000 pound weight off my shoulders. I won't guarantee it will bring the Muse back to stay, but I'm Star Wars right now. Especially Episode 4. (or the first one, if you're counting chronologically)

You know. A New Hope?
