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.

Darkquestria chapter 2 is out (and name change) · 6:11pm Jun 11th, 2015

So it's been brought to my attention that people might not be getting notified about the update I pushed out since chapter 2 is dated October 2014 (which was when I created it the chapter page, but not how recently I've modified it). Consider this that notification. Future chapters I'll make sure notify properly, I hope.

Also I've had a couple comments now on how Darkquestria is a bit of a dumb name. To be honest I kind of knew it was a bit of a dumb name, but most of the other names I could think of involved synonyms for night, darkness, or shadows and came out sounding really generic and edgy. I figured Darkquestria at least had "identity" and didn't sound too generic. Anyway, there were enough comments from people saying they almost passed the story over because of its name, so I've changed its title to "A Darkened Land" because it's fitting and resembles the old title somewhat.

It's still edgy. Makes me want to check it out though. I like assumed ambiances.

That's a better name, for sure.

I awaite the next chapter.
