Now that the year is half over, it's time to catch up once again on those resolutions I made at the beginning of the year and check to see how much progress has been made in them.

Grades are given out on a "Pass/Fail/Incomplete" basis and are my own personal opinions of how I think I'm doing thus far in each category, along with an explanation of some of the things that have happened in each department in the last three months.

1. Attempt to catch up on past requests: Still unchanged from the last update, other stories, work, and other projects are eating up my time and it's still a challenge to get to these. HOWEVER, since I'm running a little dry on new ideas and new motivation for existing ones, things my finally open up a bit to get some of these done.
Current Grade: FAIL!

2. Add at least 2 new episodes of "Independent Thoughts": Episode 2 is nearly complete and will be posted when I make my next journal. As for episode 3, I haven't begun thinking about it yet, but I will once Episode 2 is posted.
Current Grade: Incomplete

3. Add some new Sex Fantasy stories: No changes in the one that I have already started, but ideas for new stories have popped up in the last few weeks, so hopefully I'll be able to get to at least one before the summer ends.
Current Grade: FAIL!

4. Add a little more variety to the stories I write: No change since the last update, while I still add raposa-themed stories on occasion, they're not as frequent as last year. In fact, there's a little something I'd like to mention about those, but I'll save it for the end.
Current Grade: PASS!

5. Begin a brand-new raposa related series: No change since the last update, this project is still on-hold for now...at least until I get some other work done.
Current Grade: FAIL! (for now)

OVERALL ASSESSMENT: A little bit more progress has been made overall since March, but the big one still remains stuck in neutral. My hope is that since I'm in "summer vacation" mode, I can finally make progress on that one as well as some of the other projects.

...and now, for an announcement, regarding my Meeting Mari series...

After thinking about it for a little while, and factoring in what's been written for Part 11 thus far, I have decided that I'm going to move Meeting Mari to SoFurry...effective when I post Part 11. That means all parts of the series will be posted there and that all future parts of the series will be posted there as well. As for the ones already here, I will be leaving them here for now, but I may choose to remove them at a later time.

I'm also doing this to make room for another series based on Meeting Mari, but set in an altered timeline, which I hope to debut before the end of this year. (In case you're wondering, no...this is NOT the raposa-related series I mentioned in my resolution list).
