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.

    My Slow Writing and Life Update

    I'm 4th year University student studying Computer Science. I'm into writing, art, programming, and game development. I tend to plan far in advance for the future, and previously I've mentioned A Darkened Land will likely be my last novel length fic.

    Bronycan Details

    Hey there! So I'm all set for Bronycan and they've got the schedule up on their website.

    In a surprise turn of events, the coordinator approved of all of our panels! That means I'll be sitting in as a panelist on 3 of the 4 writing panels our little group is organizing. Here's the times/topics for all four:

Look, Ah'm not gonna try and belittle you or anything, but in the time that you've spent reading this sentence, Ah've probably made as many bits as you do in a month. Now, sometimes these things don't quite sink in, so let me demonstrate real quick.

By this sentence, Ah've made enough money to buy a Cattel carriage. You know, those hoof-crafted ones that they've only ever made nine of? One of those. Yeah, Ah'll probably leave it just outside my house, rain and all. If it gets damaged, Ah'll just buy another.

Oh, and speaking of my house: By this sentence, I've made enough bits to buy a twelve acre mansion on the outskirts of Manehatten. This mansion, in fact. The one right behind me. It has an eighteen hole golf course, three pools, and two equestrian games sized polo courts. And I don't even golf. Or swim. Or... whatever it is you do when you play polo. I think you hit a ball or something?

Anyway, I live in this place with my wife, whose picture you might recognize from Prance Magazine or maybe from the full color foldout in Playcolt issue #112 on page seventeen. Hey, I wouldn't blame you. That's a damn near perfect picture. Heck, I keep a copy in my sock drawer, even though I'm married to her.

Hm? Oh, no. That's not her. The mare swimming backstroke in the fountain behind me is Derpy, my partner. How she and Ah wound up working together is as peculiar a story as they come. Ah met her before any of this happened, back when Ah was a dirt poor farmer living on an apple acreage in Ponyville...


Because sometimes, every once in a while, I get the urge to write something stupid. Then I start writing it and I think, "This is stupid." Then a little while later I ask myself, "Is this stupid?" And that is when I know that I need to put down the pen.

:trixieshiftright: You have my attention, yes…

No, No, don't put the pen down. Keep writing, this sound interesting.

Yes. It is stupid. I think I want more of this. :ajbemused::facehoof:

dude, this sounds awesome!

*tries to insert coin to make the story machine go on*

Well, I am hooked.

I would 100% read this. To be honest, while I wasn't surprised, I was still a little disappointed this wasn't a full story. Silly as it is, there's definitely a quality tale to be told! :twilightsmile:

Swag.
You know why I'm here.
