    Writing is an Act of Faith

    TLDR: in which I do some somewhat philosophical ramblings about writing, because it's late, it's been a tough week, and I just need to get some words out. The power of the stream-of-consciousness essay should not be understated, even if it's completely counter to the premise of an essay.


    I've long held that writing is an act of faith, if not the product of it.

    What We Talk About When We Talk About Writing - A Small Update

    (At this point, maybe every blog will have a title referencing some literary work, for funsies)

    Hi, everyone! I thought I'd drop by with a quick update as to what I've been working on. Nothing too fancy - I'm not good at making a blog look like that - but I figure this might interest some of you.

    Where I'm Calling From

    Introduction: A Confession

    I lied. 

    Well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. It would be more accurate to say that I opted for a partial truth. In the words of Carlos Ruiz Zafon, “Perhaps, as always, a lie was what would most resemble the truth”1—and in this fashion, I did lie.

    Going to a con might have been just what I needed...

    ... to get back into the fanfic writing game.

    I might totally be jinxing it by talking about it here, but I also think me saying it at all holds me to it, in a way.

The Secret Santa Surprise! · 9:13pm Dec 23rd, 2016

Do you remember about a year and a half ago?

When I wrote a certain, little story?

And it was really long (for me, at least)?

Well, look at this:

Yep.

My friend decided, for my Secret Santa gift, to turn A Prose By Any Other Name into a paperback novel.

450 pages of my longest pony fanfic.

On paper.

In my hands.







.... THAT IS SO FUCKING COOL HOLY SHIT:pinkiegasp:

Honestly, I think one of the best parts of being any sort of writer is having what you published be physically in your hands. It just makes you feel so good inside!:pinkiehappy:
