    [Story Excerpt] The Drop-Off

    As before, a passage from Galvanized. The tentpole moments in the story were everyman protagonist Kevin seeing how the HLF's struggle to turn away the ponies actually went down, and it was these moments I had actually drafted up to act as waypoints for the plot. Like Mad Max in the excellent recent movie Fury Road, he is less of a "main character" and more of the vessel

    [Story Excerpt] Deal of a Lifetime

    This is a scene from my cancelled TCB story Galvanized in which the protagonist, Kevin, meets with Oklahoma's HLF head honcho in a kind of interview/acclimatization process. I never edited, beta'd, or even second-passed the chapter this scene was in, so it stands as-is, but as a concept for a set-piece I'm proud of it (it's also where the title-drop occurs) and wanted to share

    On Badasses and What Makes Them Badass

    This might be an ill-advised blog entry because I'm writing through a fever and it's late, but this pony fanfiction site is the only place I visit where I can even remotely pretend that me "writing about writing" is relevant to anything people are hanging around to see. I don't even know if a treatise like this exists elsewhere on FIMfiction but whatever, I can't get to sleep and whenever I close

    Happy Veteran's Day

    Whether you call it that, Remembrance Day, or Armistice Day, if you know someone who served, please thank them if you haven't already. Even during the best of times, duty permeates every aspect of your life. It's demanding living, hard on families and relationships, a perfect storm of boredom, obligation, trepidation, and, all too often, horror.

    Always Say No Featured on Royal Canterlot Library!

    A few weeks ago, I was approached asking if I would allow Always Say No to be put up on Royal Canterlot Library. I said yes, of course (I don't always say no, haw haw), and I very much enjoyed reading what RCL's staff had to say about it, which includes their own personal rationales for choosing

Back to Work on Six Deeds · 2:04pm Dec 28th, 2012

Writing it has been fun so far, but The Deed of Fealty was hell and a half to get done, only partially due to the research I had to put into the Scots dialect. You fellow writers out there probably know what it means to lose momentum, and during the fall semester I lost it big time. I had enough work to be done that I didn't even want to look at a keyboard in my spare time. That was a far cry from the summer in which I'd first conceived of the story.

For future chapters, I don't think I'll be devoting the amount of effort I needed to write in watered-down (doon) Scots. Now to take advantage of this break time and get another chapter out!

To those who waited for me, thank you for your patience.
