    My Readers Rock!

    Thank you so much, everyone! Ever since I wrote A Fragile Heart a year ago I've been consistently and pleasantly surprised by the love it's received from readers. I'm still blown away that Scribbler recorded a dramatic reading, and now with this Royal Canterlot Library feature my little story about Sad Fry Pony officially has more views than it has words, which is incredible. On top of that,

    TrotCon

    I went into this last weekend expecting it to be great, but it turned out to be one of the best of my life so far. TrotCon was amazing. I got to meet two of my friends in person for the first time, met my very favorite show writer, M. A. Larson, had a super fun time writing and reading at the speedfic panel (you can find my story on my page, and you should definitely read

    I Need Your Prompts!

    I made a goal this year to sit down and write something every day, and so far I've succeeded, but my output has been relatively low. I want to pick up the pace, so this month I'm going to push myself to write a complete mini-story every weekday (starting yesterday), then edit my favorites on the weekends. They won't all be pony stories, and they won't all be good enough to edit to completion, but

    Thank You!

    Well, this has been quite a weekend. Between Equestria Daily and the Fic Spotlight, A Fragile Heart has really taken off! My heartfelt thanks to every one of you who read the story, I'm so glad to see so many people enjoying it. Everyone here has been so kind and encouraging - you're the best readers a writer could ask for. Oh, and an extra-special thank you to those of you who followed me! I'll

My Readers Rock! · 6:31am Apr 26th, 2015

Thank you so much, everyone! Ever since I wrote A Fragile Heart a year ago I've been consistently and pleasantly surprised by the love it's received from readers. I'm still blown away that Scribbler recorded a dramatic reading, and now with this Royal Canterlot Library feature my little story about Sad Fry Pony officially has more views than it has words, which is incredible. On top of that, there are now 60 of you crazy, excellent people following me, which is a number I never imagined I'd see in that little box. I originally wrote A Fragile Heart for a friend and hosted it here on a whim, and I'm grateful to every last one of you who has read it and made this such a wonderful experience for me. You guys are the best.

So far I've only really dipped my toes in the pool when it comes to writing fanfic. All the stories I've written have been inspired by prompts from other sources in one form or another - friends, followers, events, etc. - and I haven't exactly been prolific, but I'd like to change that a bit. I've been working on improving my writing habits and writing more often, and as a part of that I think I'm going to try to work fanfiction into my writing a little more than I have in the past. I've still got a lot of non-pony-related writing to do, of course, but I've got quite a few MLP ideas rattling around in my brain and I think it's high time I got them out of there and onto the page. I'm headed across the country tomorrow to be in my brother's wedding, so I won't have a lot of writing time for the next week or so, but when I come back and settle into my regular routine again I'm going to make it a point to carve out some space in that routine for the horse words and see what happens.

All that to say, keep your eyes peeled, friends. And again, most importantly, thank you for letting me share my stories with you. I'm so glad you stopped by.
