Just One More Piece of Art · 3:34am Sep 11th, 2017

Just one more art share: here's a piece I did this weekend to experiment, help push past this slow writing phase, and for the enjoyment of it. It depicts not a scene but a memory from Pride Goeth.

The immeasurably talented Pencils (link warning: content is not sexual but sometimes gets a little racy: Tumblr, Patreon) whom you may know from his comic Anon's Pie Adventure, and if you don't know him and his comic then I urgently request that you check it out, recently posted to his Tumblr about some cheap but good equipment for digital

Pride Goeth - Complete but not Finished · 3:24am Jun 5th, 2017

I just posted the final chapter of Pride Goeth (technically it's not a chapter but an epilogue) and now the story is functionally complete. I'm still going to dig in with some rewriting work, though. There's plenty I want to clean up, make more readable, and just pull the story in together more tightly. I'm super happy with it.

It is for me personally the best thing I've ever written.

It's not about how much or little seen this post is. The most important things in the world come big and small.

State of the Communion · 3:13am Mar 14th, 2016

Warm wishes, friends!

Not sure why I feel like writing my thoughts out this time – I get by well enough without making serious use of the blog here – but there's no sense not indulging myself if that's what I'm feeling right now, I say.

Arriving from Another Road · 6:26am May 11th, 2015

Slowly a foolish and blinding sort of pride had come into her; generous yet selfish; egotistical yet not vain. In her centuries as the single sovereign she had forgotten the true value of working alongside others; had forgotten the strength inherent in faith and reliance; had forgotten the courage needed to sometimes trust in and surrender to those that one loves. An essential lesson in the magic of friendship, sadly lost to disuse.

Broken Oak, and the Climax of Melancholy Days · 4:32am Jan 7th, 2015

A wonderful reader came in with a great set of comments (here to here) on Melancholy Days, talking specifically about the lens they see some of the elements of the story's climax through. It was enough

Pardon My Editing · 5:27am Nov 20th, 2014

I'm not super up-to-date on how the story update feeds work here on FIMFiction since I'm not a huge reader in general (let alone reader of fanfiction,) so pardon me if you see a flurry of updates to old chapters of Necessary Love. Just some routine editing and cleanup of the story grammatically; no changes of story content.

Honestly though, I don't like editing.

Melancholy Days - Dryponies · 6:05pm Jul 26th, 2014

BIG POST WARNING - I'M GOING TO WRITE ABOUT A LOT OF STUFF

Far and away my favorite part of Melancholy Days was the Drypony sequence; that's particularly good news for me since it took up 2/3's of the story. I'm really, really pleased with how it turned out and I thought I'd take a moment and share some of how I created it and what I tried to make it all mean, and so on.

Melancholy Days - Wrap-up · 11:23pm Jul 15th, 2014

So last night before I went to sleep I uploaded the final chapter of Melancholy Days, bringing to an end the sequel of What Separates. I started chapter 1 nearly a year ago, though the actual writing time can be considered far less. I'd like to take a moment to
