I... I really don't know how to start this blog post, or where to begin. ...I, I just don't feel like I'm that good of a writer any more. It just seems like my latest stories aren't hitting quite the right marks with my followers as my older ones did.

Let's go for very gentle ponies, but the 'problem' is there about the size of a shire horse on average in this alternate universe. Now, factor in that a pony like Princess Celestia would be even larger here since the average pony is the size of a shire horse.

Since Aragon (whose blog I’m in direct competition with) felt the need to introduce a disclaimer, I have to do much the same here. Everything I am about to write is completely 100% real. Especially the parts I made up.

My heart is beating quickly
I know not for who
Could be for him
Or her
Or even you

My heart beats faster
As they get closer
And I get closer
To them
But it is all too soon over

My heart is beating slowly now
And I know exactly why
I let the one slip
Though my fingers
And now must cry

My heart beats slower and slower
As they get further and further away
I smile and laugh
For their sake
And stop to weep at the end of the day

As a reminder that I'm still around, new story in the morning! A minific that started life in one of the Quills & Sofas speedwriting competitions back in like ... mid-August.

Day One!

Alarm went off at 6:45. Hadn’t slept badly, and felt pretty ok. Excited for the con! No more sensation of still being on a plane, either, which was nice. No one else up yet. Had a shave and didn’t cut myself – great success. Not that I often cut myself shaving, but sod’s law says that when that does happen, it’s on an important day. So an important day where my face survives the morning intact is off to a good start.
