Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

    Stepping Down from Fanfic Writing; Focusing on Life, Career, Game Dev

    This blog post might not come as any surprise given the last new chapter of anything I posted was a year ago. I meandered away from the site for some time, unsure if I would feel like coming back. I'm making this blog post because I'm pretty sure now at this point I won't want to write ponyfic any time soon. I really regret leaving A Darkened Land unfinished, since I did truly enjoy writing quite

    An Update

    After being silent so long I guess I should start by saying this isn't a gloom and doom type blogpost, heh.

    Unpopular Opinion #6: Learning Theory Can Kill You

    Okay, maybe "kill you" is a bit overdramatic, but "clickbait" is sort of a theme of these blog posts' titles anyway so yeah.

    I recently came back from Bronycan where I spoke on 3 separate hour-long writing panels. I got some pretty good words of encouragement from people saying they learned something, and actually in talking that much about writing I felt I learned something too.

chapter 6 done, going through pre reading soon(tm) · 11:07am Dec 12th, 2011

This is about as long as I can imagine taking on a chapter, it was a chapter I had to tread carefully around. I think I managed to have the right emotional quality as well as my unique comedic quality to the chapter. In my chapter outlines I had the direction I wanted to take this chapter since forever ago, but there were so many ways to reach that goal that I didn't have a clue how to do it for the longest time. After about 2 nights of thinking, followed by 2 nights of slowly managing to put words on the screen I finished.

I might have been able to finish sooner, but I was busy learning new supports for my competitive LoL team. I got some good advice from a 2k rating support player, who's team is mentoring mine. As eager as I am about the success of this story, I'm also eager with how quickly our team on that game has progressed. We managed to climb from being a 1400 team to a 1700 in a few months. Most of you probably find this to be gibberish, by maybe someone will get it.

Quite honestly one of the main reasons I started typing this chapter is that I got a new mechanical keyboard (das ultimate), and I'm addicted to typing things on it. It makes nice clickity clack noises.

Mechanical keys are indeed awesome.
