    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.

    Or maybe I'm just superstitious. Many writers are. :P

September + Teasers · 12:39pm Sep 1st, 2022

What do you mean, it's September?!

What happened to August?

The existential despair aside... Wow, it's weird to think this'll be my first September where I do not have to go to any form of schooling. My first September in the workforce, my first September without the threat of midterms. Freaky.

Anyway, what's up with me? Well, I'm happy to say that the third draft for my G5 story has started. I've gotten a few pre-readers and editors involved, all of whom have steadily been working their way through it, for which I am immensely grateful. While I guarantee no actual date of publication, I do feel that after all the edits are complete, this story will be well worth the wait. It's been a while since I wrote something this long and this intense, so I hope that when it does come out, people do enjoy it.

I've even gotten cover art, courtesy of Little Tigress!

As for life, well, I completed my first week of work, and honestly, it's been a blast. I've actually already gotten my first feature article published, which is pretty neat for a newbie like me! The remote position aside, I think I've definitely chosen a great career for myself. (I'd share the link, but I'd also rather not give out any personal information.)

And in terms of Elements of Justice news... this Saturday, expect something fun. Something a little more about the bonds ponies have with one another... ;)

Yeah, it’s surreal, innit? Still trying to land a job of my own, but hopefully that’ll turn around soon.

Hopefully…

Glad to hear it!
