I do this just for fun -- but sometimes I take myself a little too seriously. I know life's too short, but -- you know...

    Back from the dead?

    Just to let you know I'm back to some degree and working on a new story, which is more like two stories in one, alternate universes and such.
    Also, I hope to receive more views and comments on the story.

    Possibly my last blog post

    I don't want you to think I'm doing something rash, and I don't want folks to think I'm planning on leaving this world permanently --

    I haven't been very active on this site for a long time, and I'm taking stock of what I've written (and what hasn't been published yet)
    but I have decided to cancel some of the stories I started writing a long time ago but never got around to finishing.

    Finally

    After more than a year and a half without home internet, I have finally managed to get it back.

    It's also nice to not have to worry about someone looking over your shoulder trying to read what you're writing as well.

    Living alone can have its advantages but also can get pretty lonely sometimes.

    No, I am not seeking companionship, if that's what you're asking.

    Update

    I have been dealing with life issues, along with playing a couple of games which have occupied a great deal of my time.
    I have found it difficult to get my muse back, so many of my unfinished stories are gathering dust -- not to mention the fact that it's hard to write pony stuff with someone watching you over your shoulder (*cough* my GF *cough*).

    Has it really been that long?

    I find myself looking at my join date and also note the fact that I've been a member of this site for four years already...

    I'm just amazed by how swiftly time passes.

Why I Write · 1:33pm Feb 11th, 2014

It was probably about three years ago when fanart of Twilight caught my eye on deviantart -- at first, I thought it was cute and really didn't give it much more thought than that. As more fanart came to my attention, it piqued my curiosity, so I started checking it out. About a year and a half ago, a very fascinating story caught my eye, and I was hooked on fanfiction. I began searching for other interesting stories, becoming engrossed in how well written a fair number of them were.

A little while after that, I decided to try my hand at writing fanfiction, though my first effort met with disappointing results. My second attempt proved to have much more satisfying results, and to this day remains my most popular story.

I am still trying to improve my writing, hoping that I can draw a larger audience to my work, though sometimes the inspiration doesn't come to me as quickly as it did when I was first inspired to write. There are a number of other story ideas I have, but I would at least like to finish some of my current projects before beginning yet another one.
