Hi all,

Remember how I promised to make the second Guests: A Proposal in April?

Well, for one reason or another, I couldn't get to that. Let me explain as I put this new computer to good use.

So around the end of April, my computer crashed hard. Big time. When I tried to revive it, it wouldn't go. I had been told many times before then that the computer was dying; the fan was droning on and on, and whenever I played a Roblox game or a Steam game the fan wouldn't work properly and I'd have to quit before my computer overheated, and even then the fan would just not quiet down. But I did not heed those words. So it was that one morning when my old laptop finally crashed and burned. I had to take it into a computer fixing place, and nobody there could fix it. So I had to get rid of it. In early May I dropped it off at a computer parts recycling place, and left that bit of my life behind.

I was just lucky that most of my important documents, like my works of fiction, were on Google Docs, and therefore could be accessed anywhere with internet access. Notice I say MOST of them. One of the ones that was not saved was the second Proposal. I wasn't up to re-writing it, however, because of the second thing that happened, which was this: I had not enough money to buy a new and better laptop. Sure, I could just buy a chromebook, but I figured it wouldn't have enough computing power to be both a great writing machine and a reasonable gaming machine. I had to raise enough money to purchase a good laptop, and not just mooch off my friend's computer like I'd been doing since the crash. I cut my bank account in half trying to get enough funds to really pull this off; I mowed lawns for a living, even. By the end of June I had over a thousand dollars (something like $1500). $300 of that was for a little less than two months' work. I couldn't often find lawns that needed to be mowed, because where I live there aren't many lawns to speak of, and those that do exist are always meticulously trimmed by their owners. At least those who had lawns I could mow paid relatively generously.

I ended up using half the money to buy a new laptop on July 3rd, basically the same type as the old one, but unused. A store had a bunch of ones just sitting in a back room that nobody wanted, and I pounced on the opportunity. When I arrived back I set about creating accounts, creating user settings, and then getting to the downloading of Roblox Player and Roblox Studio. The laptop had Word on it already, which was good, because another computer I had before the one that died (a crummy desktop computer, which also died by the way) had only had WordPad, a far inferior technology which nevertheless I used to write the vast majority of my Roblox fiction.

So I slowly got back to a normal life, but I still haven't found the time or the inspiration to write up a new Proposal, and for that I'm sorry. I'm sure you'll all understand. In the meantime, keep a heads-up for new blog posts in the future, because

I'M BACK BABY
