I once was lost, but now I'm found. Just a quiet blue unicorn with a passion for the written word.

    My Journey

    So I've finally set aside the time to sit down and properly write out a blog post for you all who are still around (the one I promised in my last post seven months ago :twilightsheepish: ). I want to tell you all about where I've been, what I've been up to, and share my journey with you guys. You were all around for some of the best times, and I felt it's only right to open back up again and

    Well Well Well...

    Holy hell, that's a lot of notifications to look through! I suppose that's what happens when you disappear for... *checks watch* three years. Huh... I suppose it's been a while, huh? It would be shockingly rude and unprofessional if I was to just suddenly turn up again out of the blue, wouldn't it? Yeah, I guess it would...

    A Soldier's Memoirs Spoilers

    For anyone who read my last blog and doesn't want to wait around for me to maybe finish the Soldier's Memoirs series, I do have the entire plot mapped and outlined. If you would like some closure, some answers, or just a glimpse into what awaits, send me a private message with the title: Will the Sky Fall? and any questions or comments you might have. I'll be happy to provide

    I'm Sorry

    Over the past week or two, I've gotten messages from several of you guys asking if I was okay, if everything was all right, and just wanting to check in on me in general. I wanted you all to know that I was really touched by your concerns, and that I am just fine, but it also made me feel guilty. I'm sure you can guess why... I haven't written any new material for well over a year. I haven't been

    Dusk is a terrible, awful, no good, very bad pony...

    I have apologies to make to all of you. It's been close to six months since I had any activity here on the site, and even less for my friends outside of FiMFiction. I feel I owe you all an explanation and my deepest, heartfelt sorries. I am still alive, if just barely by now. These last few months, I sort of bit off more than I could chew with life. I took eighteen college credit hours in an

Tumblr and Warfare · 4:28pm Mar 19th, 2014

Another chapter of Overture done and done! The story is almost over, my friends.

So since FiMFiction has a nasty habit of going down when it's least convenient for me, I've decided to get a Tumblr to start announcing all my latest updates, sneak peeks, news updates, etc. It's called The Writer's Desk. Don't worry, I'll still post anything important or relevant here, but most of the snippets of unfinished or unreleased work will be on the Tumblr, along with some other work of mine and various other MLP-based items of interest. If any of you have Tumblrs, head on over and follow me. If you don't have one, you can still go ahead and bookmark the page or leave any comments/questions still. I left it all very open ended.

So you know what I've really gotten into lately? Arma 3. In case you haven't heard of it, Arma is the flagship game for a military simulator. I am very cautious to use the term "game" with it, because it really is more like a realistic military sim that you can immerse yourself in. The game takes real physics and laws of science into account, creating a world that not only relies on actual knowledge of ballistics to even fight, but also topography and navigation, day/night cycles, varying weather, and an array of other factors when conducting operations. Just like in any scenario, you need to rely on teamwork and role diversity to accomplish missions and objectives with your team. I don't know how many of you fellow gamers or military enthusiasts out there have heard of or already play it, but I am hooked. For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, check out the vid below.

With friendship and magic (and what is likely an unhealthy affinity with the Armed Forces),
