    A "new" Story

    Ha ha. Ha. No.

    This story actually dates to 2014, and then it sat for several years before I remembered that it was even there. It was originally going to be a flashback aside for another (much larger) story about the modern MLP Rarity, but it is nearly 5000 words all by itself.

    Check out my new review group!

    Alrighty, back in the doctor's office and ready to practice. It's a new group and a new style but I remain your stalwart fanfic doctor. My apologies to everypony still in the waiting room; the doctor will see you now.

    A funny thing happened...

    Wow, work just got crazy.

    That is, sadly, the life of a dev shop. We try to plan on a steady stream of work but each of our clients expect that they will be given priority.

    Well, three separate services all required big interventions, and all of our clients are flipping out. So, no pony for me right now. Pony again soon, though. Thought you all deserved some manner of explanation.

    On Writing and Knowledge

    Mr. Hemmelgarn has been showing up again. He's my old high-school English teacher. And late at night, or when I am really tired, he appears just out of sight. Just behind the corner of my eye. I can hear him breathing and wheezing, so I know its him. He huffs and puffs like a slowly-deflating air mattress, and he stares at me. He stares and whispers four ugly words:

    "Write what you Know."

    The Limits of Post-Modern Semiotics, or Why the Apple Matters

    Great post about Modernism by Bad Horse, here. Good to see you dropping in like that.

    So, read his blog post. Then read Mr Numbers blog post. Then, go and get a degree in semiotics.

    All ready? Good, let's begin.

A "new" Story · 4:59pm Sep 17th, 2018

Ha ha. Ha. No.

This story actually dates to 2014, and then it sat for several years before I remembered that it was even there. It was originally going to be a flashback aside for another (much larger) story about the modern MLP Rarity, but it is nearly 5000 words all by itself.

So it got cut. I re-read it a few weeks ago, and I think it's good writing. So, I'm posting it. I think it's sweet.

So, what's the biggest piece of writing that you just up and cut from your story? Did it hurt? Did you save it in the hope that "it will be useful later"? Feel free to post it here and tell me why you cut it.
