    Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated

    Hello all,

    Just got an email from Brony Soprano concerning my health (given that my last blog was about me getting Covid, I understand that some might be a bit jittery). Rest assured, I overcame Covid and am in good health lately (probably better health because I've started working out some).

    And this is why I play Tzeentch

    Well, after nearly two years of dodging and playing it safe, I've finally been "blessed" by Grandfather Nurgle's plague. I tested positive for Covid this afternoon.

    Big news!

    I'm gonna be an uncle come July!

    Rest assured the kid will be raised as a proper servant of the Emperor if I have anything to say about it.

    Merry Christmas to you all :pinkiehappy:

Why April is a good month for me · 1:56pm Apr 5th, 2014

I've always found April to be a good month for me. If not good, then special, especially when it comes to my writing.

First reason why: Today is my birthday. Yay me :pinkiehappy:. I don't really feel all that different from my last birthday... except that I'm at college now instead of high school, but that's irrelevant. I could say that there's more that I have access to but... well, no there isn't. I'm not 21 so I can (legally) drink, even if I was not sure if I would, I don't smoke and I won't get into some of the other perks of being over the age of 17.

The second reason why April is special to me is that it's the anniversary of my publication history on this site. It's kind of weird to think that almost two years ago, I sat down at my computer with delusions of grandeur and published my first story. I thought that I was going to take the Pony Fanverse by force, that my story was going to be the next Fallout: Equestria and I'd get a TvTropes page for it. I was nowhere near close; it's very Sue-ish, obscure, and just doesn't go anywhere with the characters. I would say I'm embarrassed with it, but it serves it's purpose; it was my first foray into writing and publishing online, and I feel that I've gained some experience in what to do and what not to do when I got around to writing Mare of Steel and God Empress. I don't think my writing is perfect (in fact I think I criticize myself more often than not), but I do think it's getting better (Compare Ponies of the Cursed Seas with Mare of Steel Part 2 or God Empress; I'm sure you'll see some difference).
So, that's my spiel for today. Hope you guys have a good April.
Oh, and Mare of Steel is getting a review on the 23rd. Check back then for what I have to say about said review.
