Finishing Finished my master's in Biology in Washington State, job hunting now. I enjoy camping/hiking, tapletop RPGS, and being lazy. I also dabble in writing and drawing, among other things.

I feel like I should write a short explanation for my absence, at the least. I don't want to go into too much detail, but I can give a brief explanation.

Earth Ponies Can Cast Spells Too

Here's what I mean by the different progress discriptors:
Planning: Usually I have the big outline of a story already laid out. When I start on a new chapter, I usually think about the building blocks and smaller-scale storyline of that chapter (scenes, dialogue, mini-arcs, etc.) during routine daily activities. That's my 'planning' stage.
Writing: I've started putting words onto paper. Usually it's just a rough first-pass, but it sets the main flow of the chapter.
Editing: Once I've finished writing (or sometimes during), I go back and read through my work a few times to review the structure, flow, wording, etc.
Review: I've re-read my work a few times, and I've sent it on to my reviewers so we can work out the final details.

1651796 Glad you like it, and thanks for the kind words! Seems I missed your comment until now.

I'll be sure to invite you to any rigged elections I set up for pony fiction :derpytongue2:

I'm casting my vote for your story, "Earth Ponies Can Cast Spells Too;" and if there is no vote, then there darn well should be. Rune Mages? You had me sold right there. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this crazy train, my friend!

1574411 Seems like it! Wow, I didn't expect so much feedback so quickly. I'm off to read all the comments. :derpyderp1:
