    Quickdraw Blog. BANG!

    Heya folks! This will be a quick blog, more rapid update outta necessity than witty commentary, so i'll cut straight to the chase. I've got good and bad news. The good, in my opinion, outweight the bad! But you be the judge:

    The Good

    It Cuts Like a Knife; It Might Leave You Bleeding

    Story reviews are interesting because, sure, you can use them to know if a certain book will be the right one for you? But I feel they’re more useful when the review is in itself a tool to talk about storytelling in general. You review a book, but the book is a jumping-off point to discuss what it means to have good pacing; stuff like that.

    A Full Year of Only Mondays

    Good morning. This is, from my point of view, a comedy blog. From the point of view of my family and loved ones, it's a horror story.

    I'm so fucking back, baby. Hi, all. Did you miss me? I know I did.

Let All The Children Boogie · 2:53am Jan 23rd, 2016

Well then.

College has been really, really hard on me lately, but I've finally finished my finals. This means, of course, that I'm back on the website.



I never really left -- I'm always lurking, like a vulture glooming over a sick cow -- but this is official, on the account that for a while I'll have nothing to do but write. So the next blog in the romance series should pop up soon, and ditto a couple stories I'm currently working on.

That's good, right? Right?

Oh hey, thanks for your support, Geek-Who-I-Headcanon-As-Gay-To-Piss-Off-My-Friends

Hell yeah it's neat! I'm working on both different and samey stuff, so y'all should have something to look forward to. I'm also making a conscious effort of keeping my works short, or at least shorter than usual. Lately I've been unable to write anything under 12k, and it's really getting on my nerves.

I know that some people don't see it as bothersome? But I think it's a problem. A story is only as good as its worse part. And, while I don't like to admit it when I'm writing them, most of my stories have a lot of stuff that could be trimmed down and the end result would have been an improvement.

Plus, this guy actually makes a cute pairing with that one jock, and I like how he has a positive attitude

On top of that, I'm really pushing myself to write stuff out of my comfort zone. That way I can try to grow a little as a writer, as I feel like I've been a little pigeonholed lately. You don't need to worry about it, however -- I'll make sure the end result is enjoyable from a reader's perspective, and not just a boring exercise in writing.

The best thing about this is that, hopefully, everything should come up soon. I can't really make any promises because, well, life tends to be hard to predict. But I'm already making progress, and I'm confident. I also have a ferret telling me to write whenever I log on Skype, so that's a plus too.

Hahah. Look at him go! Up that thumb, boy!

Ah, before I forget it -- I wanted to give y'all something special to make this blog not pointless, but I had no idea what to do. The well was dry, and I didn't want to force any wacky random bullsh*t for the sake of making this look OH-SO-HILARIOUS. I can just tape myself getting my ass beat by a toddler and post it if I wanna do that.

I asked my friends what to do, and Selbi quickly came to the rescue. He asked me to wait one second, and five minutes later he had written a userscript to run on this website.

"Cool!" I said. "What does it do?"

"Reveals the truth. Give it to your followers so they can run it too!"

He wouldn't give me any more details, so I had to run it myself.

...

See.

See, this is why I have issues.

God dammit, this is like attending one of my family reunions again.

You really are into Carrot(top) porn, aren't you? :ajsmug:

If anyone has any ideas how to expand the list of shocking, previously unknown facts about Aragón, make sure to reveal them!

The world must know about the true nature of this horrible creature!

I'm going to agree with you on this. I want to say that even your bad stuff is good, because I associate you mainly with good stuff and my brain wants to deny you have bad stuff and more words from you could only be good, trimming your work down would probably benefit your stuff a lot.

"Reveals the truth. Give it to your followers so they can run it too!"

You forgot to add the script so we can use it too.

I doubt it was forgotten.

Also, woo for you being back and the writing thingy going on!

Your problem is you have too many ideas.

Just give them to me for safekeeping and all will be fine.

That's amazing.

So it puts a news feed onto your FIMfiction frontpage?
That's kinda nifty.

Also, welcome back.

I also have a ferret telling me to write whenever I log on Skype, so that's a plus too.

:twilightsmile: Get back to work.
