*Glances around*

Okay, everything’s clear…

*Clears throat*

This was a triumph.

I’m making a note here: Huge—

*WHAP*

*Slumps to the ground*

This… is Cassia. My… apologies but Garand is indisposed right now. For… the time being, I’ll be handling the blog posts. In… the meantime, he shall slave away at my story…

That… is all.

Post: Sick... · 12:49pm Oct 24th, 2013

So yeah, I came down with flu and fever. Of Sunshine and Laughter and this week's Thoughts post is being delayed (as Of Sunshine and Laughter isn't delayed enough already) until I recover.

Being sick sucks. :pinkiesick:

Post: Of Sunshine and Laughter: One Year Anniversary · 4:11pm Oct 15th, 2013

I just realized it has been exactly one year since I posted Of Sunshine and Laughter... I thought it was supposed to be a couple weeks later (25th - 27th October) instead, so there wasn't any preparation... :facehoof:

I planned to have the next chapter of Of Sunshine and Laughter out for the anniversary but now... :facehoof:

I'll get it out as soon as possible.

Thoughts: On Meta: Keeping Stories Together · 1:03pm Oct 6th, 2013

Opening words
Well, this week’s Thoughts blog post has nothing to do with characters or writing. However, it has something to grouping. Basically, in the recent drama that was the PSA announcement about non-story chapters (no, I’m not commenting on the whole issue, it’s over anyway) a user asked this simple question:

Post: Thoughts blog and other news · 3:07am Oct 3rd, 2013

I'm shifting all future Thoughts blog post to Sunday morning US time. Posting them in the middle of the week kind of breaks up the writing schedule I've implemented, so I'm shifting a few things around and see how it goes. So stay tuned for a new post this Sunday. :twilightsmile:

Post: No Thoughts blog today · 1:05pm Sep 25th, 2013

Well, Mary Sues analyses have been done to the death already so I'm not sure what else I could talk about on the topic.

Perhaps the few of you who still read my blog have some suggestion? :duck:

(Maybe I should go write my stories instead of mulling over blog posts...)

Update: State of things · 11:02pm Sep 17th, 2013

I would like to once again apologize for the lack of any story updates. I admit that I have been on a writing slump for the past three months (and failing to submit any entries for the WBA writing contest since May) and burnt out from two years of non-stop college (I did not have a single summer break for the past 2+ years). The Overseas Immersion Programme actually did more for my writing because I was way more productive in Redmond than in Singapore. The change of scenery was a plus, I guess.
