I'm a writer, and I write stories about ponies. It'll be a good bet that every story will eventually turn into an adventure. It's what I do. A new chapter will be posted every Sunday.

    The Briefest of Delays

    Happy Easter, all!

    I'm typing this on my phone since I was dragged to a family barbecue which always turns into a family dinner. That being said, AppleShy won't be posting today, but I will be posting it tomorrow. Everything's going great, and I'm enjoying the new story threads that are developing.

    A 2023 Check In

    I originally planned to do a blog post when I published Into the Depths Part 3, but I thought better of it and wanted to have some more chapters published before I did that.

    2019 is off to an amazing start

    Hello all. Hope the first two months of 2019 have treated you well.

    In my case, there has certainly been no shortage of work. People going on vacation, another coworker getting sick, the long and short of it is, I got a lot of overtime that I was not anticipating. I was hoping to write this before the end of the month, but that just didn't pan out.

    Now, onto the business.

    A Long Overdue Update

    It's been far too long since I updated anything, and, given the title, there is an upcoming update. In this instance, I'm updating AppleShy. Now, I'm not simply going to post a new part and then disappear for months before I post the next chapter in the new arc. No, not at all. I'm posting the entire arc... and then probably disappear for months.

    Holiday Blog and Update via Excerpts

    Hello and happy Holidays all. To contribute to the deluge of Holiday blog posts is... me.

    Patroison.

    Um, awkward silence.

    Anyway, along with tidings of good cheer, the ending of a year brings us thoughts of the previous months and all the accomplishments that we attained.

    Well, since, with the exception of "In Memory Of", I haven't done anything.

The Briefest of Delays · 8:06pm Apr 9th, 2023

Happy Easter, all!

I'm typing this on my phone since I was dragged to a family barbecue which always turns into a family dinner. That being said, AppleShy won't be posting today, but I will be posting it tomorrow. Everything's going great, and I'm enjoying the new story threads that are developing.

A quick note on that. As you can imagine, I'm planting little, land mines let's call them, that I'll set off in a future story. This means that, yes, AppleShy has a definite end, and a new story will pick up where it leaves off. That's for the future, but I do have something planned.

Now, I don't want to waste an entire blog post with a simple delay notice. I've been thinking about doing a monthly blog to let everyone know what's going on and perhaps what random thoughts pop into my head.

For today, I want to list the tools I use while writing. Mainly what I use so I don't write in silence. Unlike some authors, I can't write to any music with lyrics. I'm too simple-minded for that, and I always get distracted. Instrumental is a great choice for me, and I found, by accident, LoFi music on Spotify. I checked it out as a lark and enjoyed it.

inexposure therapy by forgetme is one I've been enjoying since I like the ambiance.

When I prefer something more traditional as far as background noise goes, I am a big fan of MyNoise. The site has your standard fare of white noise and rain, but the creator, Dr. Pigeon, has a lot more sounds available.

The Pilgrim is a personal favorite, but there are several to choose from.

I think that's enough spam for one day, and I should get back to the family. Before we part, what do you listen to when you create? Can you listen to music with lyrics or work in complete silence?

I'm genuinely curious, but, most of all, I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday.

Take care, all!
