Yikes. It's been a while, hasn't it? I hate these blogs, but I kinda feel guilty when I don't say anything, so please bear with me.

Rant time! Show vs. Tell: Why You Know People who are Doing it Terribly Wrong · 5:11pm Mar 4th, 2013

It’s always depressing to see people give bad advice. It’s even more depressing to see people eat that bad advice up and say things like, 'This is really good and totally right!' Now, I don’t like starting arguments on the Internet, so I normally just shake my head and look the other way. But this is something I have seen more than a couple of times from people who have a greater audience than next to none, and this is not a good thing.

So! Time for another essay, I think. Show vs. tell.

New Chapter and Related Apologies · 2:21pm Feb 6th, 2013

New chapter is up! Twilight and Celestia are getting closer to the dragon kingdom now, but they still have a little something to go through before they get there. That little something may or may not include living, giant stone statues.

Anyway! I am really sorry about the delay on this one. A combination of real life, the holiday, other side projects, and having to rewrite huge chunks of it led to some delays.

Honest Words · 4:20pm Feb 1st, 2013

She holds my hand with all the strength she has left, a bony grasp that shakes like a frightened child. I can hear her breathing, wet and rasping as if her lungs are filled with fluid—until I realise that they probably are. The oxygen machine next to me hisses, and I can hear shrill beeps from the other side of the bed. One and a half every second, a laughable imitation of a heartbeat. To me it sounds like a countdown.

Where the soul-sucking nature of Internet volunteer work gets to me, and I rant about writing 'sad' emotion in stories · 4:28pm Jan 30th, 2013

Approved over seventy stories today. Failed probably about another twenty or so. On an unrelated note, scotch is delicious!

There and Back Again, a Holiday tale, by Mystic · 12:47pm Jan 27th, 2013

I have returned! Tired, a little seedy, and getting glassy eyed at Dido's Sand in My Shoes ("And I can't shake the thought of you..."). But despite the near cyclonic weather trying its damn best to keep us grounded (seriously, the plane rocking due to the wind even when boarding was insane!), I am home and alive. And oh boy, what a trip it was...

I Am Going Now · 3:26pm Jan 16th, 2013

I am going on a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don't expect I shall return. In fact... I think I mean not to.

No, I kid. But I am getting on a plane tomorrow and disappearing to a place with endless stretches of perfect beaches, a disproportionately high percentage of attractive people, and lots of alcohol. Away from the pre-reader queue and the Fimfic approval queue... Oh God I want to go already! D:

As the Sun Sets
by Mystic

When Twilight is given the opportunity to travel with Princess Celestia on what appears to be a regular dignitary’s trip to see the dragons, she’s ecstatic. After all, nopony has seen the dragon kingdom in over a hundred years.
