I cook, I play music, I paint, I read ... and every now and again I might write something.

    Status of The Road

    When I first started the story that now bears the title Traveling A New Road, I was in a much different place, mentally and literally. I believe I began writing this about four years ago. I had been co-writing with a very dear friend of mine, and having quite a nice time doing so, to be honest. However, something inside felt unfulfilled -- I wanted to write something that was my own. I

    Busy times ahead

    Back in November, I got moved to another job within my company, and for a couple of months that was going pretty well. Then, at the end of January, I got a promotion to terminal manager, which is requiring me to pack up and move a couple of hundred miles away while commuting back and forth each week in the interim.

    New chapter Sunday

    It may seem like a long while between updates, but this is really the only way I can maintain a schedule, and have a decent buffer to maintain that schedule. My work has been in flux, and I am adapting to a new schedule, but it shouldn't affect anything going forward.

    Thanks to those that are reading and following along, and I hope I can continue to provide a good quality story for you.

    Following through

    As I had mentioned previously, I was waffling over whether to publish a story I had been working on over here. I've had a few people read it, and it seems to be going over okay, with some minor corrections and edits.

    The first chapter is in the pipeline and will go live shortly. I plan to update on a monthly schedule, and I have a decent buffer written to aid me in that goal.

    Slushing away

    When we last left our intrepid "writer," he was looking at an old story he had started writing and was considering cleaning it up a bit and putting it out for the general public to read. Understandably, he was nervous about this, because this was the longest story he had written by far (without a co-author) and contained elements that were sure to provoke ire among many core groups of readers.

All about Longhaul · 8:40pm Jan 31st, 2019

Alexshy inspired me to do this...
Originally from this: https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/843837/all-about-wildfire
RULES :
1. Pick one of your characters/fursonas.
2. Fill in the questions/statements as if you were them.
3. Tag four people to do this meme!
4. Tell people that they been tagged with a link from your journal

I picked Longhaul, the only character I have that has any relevance here.

1. What is your name?
My given name is Dusty Hoofer, but everypony calls me Longhaul.

2. Do you know why you were named that?
I don't know why my parents named me that...it never really came up. I got the nickname Longhaul because of my travels across Equestria.

3. Single or taken?
Very single. I was married once, but the less said about that, the better.

4. Have any abilities or powers?
Not really. I can pull loads that most other ponies struggle with, if ya wanna call that a power.

5. Stop being a Mary Sue!
A who? Never met that mare before.

6. What's your eye colour?
Brown.

7. How about hair colour?
Brown, slightly lighter than my eyes.

8. Have you any family members?
Yeah, I've got family. I guess they're doing okay, I haven't seen any of them since I got thrown out of I left home.

9. Oh? How about pets?
Pets ain't really a good fit for me, being constantly on the road and all.

10. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.
Liars. Fastest way to get me to hate you is to lie to me.

11. Do you have any activities/hobbies that you like to do?
I paint now and again, when I have some free time at home.

12. Have you ever hurt anyone in any way before?
Oh, I'm sure I have. Sorry for that, for all the good that does.

13. Ever… killed anyone before?
No! What kind of monster do you think I am?

14. What kind of animal are you?
I'm an earth pony. I thought that was pretty obvious.

15. Name your worst habits.
Shoot, I'm sure others could tell you that better than I could.

16. Do you look up to anyone at all?
I do admire Princess Luna, and to an extent Princess Celestia, but that's about it. Not much for role models at my age.

17. Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?
Straight.

18. Do you go to school?
Not any more. I'm way past the schoolin' age.

19. Ever want to marry and have kids one day?
Tried the first part, didn't work out too well for me. I'm kinda glad I never did have kids, I probably would have been a lousy dad anyway.

20. Do you have fangirls/fanboys?
*snort* I highly doubt it.

21. What are you most afraid of?
I guess I'm afraid of being out on the road and getting hurt in some remote area, with no help around.

22. What do you usually wear?
Always got my hat on, and my saddle bags.

23. What's one food that tempts you?
Just one? I don't think I could pick just one.

24. Am I annoying you?
Nah.

25. Well, it's still not over!
Alrighty. Let's go on, then.

26. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?
Lower middle,I guess. I'm not a high-falutin' pony like them Canterlot types, and I make a decent living.

27. How many friends do you have?
Not a lot. I could probably count them on one hoof.

28. What are your thoughts on pie?
Pie is good. Pinkie Pie is quite the character, but she is a sweetie.

30. Favourite drink?
Coffee to start my day, iced tea throughout.

31. What's your favourite place?
I got a little place in Appleloosa that I plan on retiring to. It's quiet, beautiful view, can't ask for more than that really.

32. Are you interested in anyone~?
*blush* There's a few that have caught my eye, but I won't say who because I know they don't feel the same way.

33. That was a stupid question.
Nah...I've heard worse.

34. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
I've done both. I guess lake because there's less salt in my hair after it dries out.

35. What's your type?
Don't really have one.

36. Any fetishes?
That's none of your business.

37. Hybrid or feral?
huh?

38. Camping or indoors?
Again, I've done both, but I prefer a solid roof over my head.

39. Tag People!
No tags. You wanna do it, go ahead, just credit the original author.
