NOVEL NEXT Announcement. (Not a Chapter)
Due to a combination of personal and professional issues, my schedule has been disrupted.
Sadly my writing time will be cut drastically. I have no clue how long the situation will last.
This story will receive only sporadic updates, as I can catch moments to write.
My other story will be put on Hiatus, until the issues are resolved.
In the meantime, I wish all of you a joyous life and bountiful rest.
[Obligatory ramblings to pad the word count. The worse part of all things, is the uncertainty of outcomes. Dramatic words are never a waste, unless you are already asleep.
A Congress of Ravens flew into a bar, and asked the bartender for a filibuster. The bartender replies, "I've never heard that one before." The ravens proceeded to tell a long and convoluted tale about the time they served in the Owl Wars. When the story came to an end hours later the Bartender said, "Okay that's great and all but you never told me how to make the drink." The Ravens proceeded to laugh and then left the bar. A whimsical smattering of only loosely collected thoughts and ideas.
Badgers are interesting until they decide your porch is the perfect spot for their new burrow. Then they become a problem.
If everyone cared about why things happened, would anything ever get done?
Dancing on the backs of others is a activity that has lost much of its appeal. I use to think that all movement was related until it was my back cracking. Do you tip toe around all the people or just those that actually pay attention to what you are doing?
Why in the name of all the could be holy, are you even reading this right now? You could be out touching grass, or whatever the young folks say these days. There is no wisdom to be had here, nor an entertainment either.
Bananas however are optional, unless you wish to rule then they are mandatory.
What you are still here, well this will get rid you you once and for all. You are amazing and wonderful, and everyone should love you, despite all those dark corners in your mind. It is truly a shame that no one recognizes the unique individual you are. If all the stars were to spew forth their gases to make another world you would surely be the model for their new lifeforms. You brightness puts all the light in the universe to shame.
Hmm. More? Tragically the heavens have not parted to give you all that you deserve. Unfortunately they will not part for me either. Thus as with all things my time singing your praises shall be cut short.
Perhaps if time ever allows, I shall write a novel about why the existence of life was a mistake. But at least in your case it was an excellent one. It almost makes me what to keep existing myself.
Nah, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Our time has been but a short window into madness, and now it is done. ]
