I'm not going to lie to you folks. May is looking...dicey. There may be little from me over that month.
Okay, admittedly, that's not exactly news. But I need to stop treating Don't Do Anything as my default, so let's act like this is at least KIND of a surprise, eh?
Anyway, like I was saying, May. Not likely, but not impossible. More as it develops.

Satire (aka 'You will not laugh once')
He yawned, he stretched, he realized he had overslept. Martin-Stuart Q. Obviousstandin, a reasonably acceptable human being, rose from bed, put on his comfy bathrobe and opened the curtains. He always liked to start his morning with a look out over the rest of the city. He blinked, and blinked again. Slowly, it registered on him that he was not seeing what he had expected to see. The familiar, cramped environs of his hometown had been replaced with sleek, somewhat alienating spires, the sort of thing you'd see in a cyberpunk comic. Holographic traffic lights chimed as they sluggishly directed flows of traffic on the ground and in the air. In the air? Yep, those were drones and what appeared to be stylized flying trucks. Huh. What in the WORLD had happened? The answer came to him as he made his morning cup of coffee. Yes, that's right, he'd heard mention that this would happen. Come to think of it, they'd mentioned it weeks ago. It had been all over the news, as had been the loud
Out Like A Lion
I feel a bit bad saying this, considering what's going on.
But let me tell you folks - after months (at least) of total inactivity and grinding despair, after hitting one of the lowest points I might ever have - this past week or so has been just incredible.
The machinery is turning again. I've defeated some pretty bad habits. It's as if I've wriggled free of a very heavy net.
I don't want to jinx it...
Well, I won't jinx it.
But we'll see. We'll. Just. See~
Failure To Launch
You know? I was all set to talk about how things haven't gone according to plan. How down in the dumps I've been about things.
I was going to apologize for my silence after my bold boast at the end of last year.
And I do still want to do something about all that...
But with what's going on, it feels a little petty to be so omphaloskeptical.
With all my heart, my friends, I hope you and yours are well. Look out for each other, flatten the curve, keep calm. We'll see the light at the end of this tunnel.
Sometimes, just getting through the day is heroism worthy of a story.
I haven't forgotten you lovely people~
Dropping The Ball
Well, another year come and gone.
And you know what? I'll spare you the drama I underwent this year, and I'll be kind to myself.
After years of stagnation, I managed a decent story every two months (on average), and even made some new friends.
I won't be down on myself...but I will do better in 2020.
In fact? I've made a resolution.
Phobophiles, prepare yourselves. Because not only am I going to be much, much more diligent in commenting, faving and responding...
I'm going to post at least one piece every week.
I think I can manage that, and I'm going to feel good about it too.
So, whether you've already hit 2020 or there's still a few h
