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.

    My Slow Writing and Life Update

    I'm 4th year University student studying Computer Science. I'm into writing, art, programming, and game development. I tend to plan far in advance for the future, and previously I've mentioned A Darkened Land will likely be my last novel length fic.

    Bronycan Details

    Hey there! So I'm all set for Bronycan and they've got the schedule up on their website.

    In a surprise turn of events, the coordinator approved of all of our panels! That means I'll be sitting in as a panelist on 3 of the 4 writing panels our little group is organizing. Here's the times/topics for all four:

Competition fic done, back to the drawing board! · 11:58am Feb 20th, 2012

I wish I could show you all it now, but I it'll have to wait until after the competition.

Finished rewriting chapter 5 today. That chapter originally didn't end with a cliffhanger, can you believe it? Anyways, I fixed that small mistake in the rewrite. The average chapter length of a rewritten chapter so far is 3,121 words. Longer than any of the original chapters. I still have an editors comments to get to on chapter 3 and 4, and then have to wait for responses on chapter 5 though, so in the meantime I'll get back to working on a new chapter for Flying High, Falling Hard and the big update will launch with that.

From there I'm going to continue to rewrite up until around chapter 9 I think. The whole Cloudsdale part could be written much better.

Once they are posted, rewritten chapters will have (rewrite) in brackets next to their name

I get the feeling I'm going to spot typos in this later.

Waiting for it!

ah it's good to see the progress is being done. I know what you mean when the chapters suddenly "grow" like that. It'll be a treat for us.

I checked for any addition to the chapters titles, but still nothing. Could you at least give us chapter 1?

Get off the comp and get back into bed.

I don't actually see that on them now.

You must have removed them...
