The start of something new.

It seems strange to start a blog, as someone who doesn't speak his mind much I find myself wondering what to say. I'm writing again...finally. It feels so great to let my fingers fly across the keys and let the story unfold before me. The quality isn't anywhere near what it was when I was younger, but that matters little to me. I have to start somewhere and this seems like a good place. Originally I was a bit embarrassed to write about ponies, but I've realized that they hold a particularly special place in my heart. They showed me how bright the world could be again. For the first time in years I have smiled genuinely, and it felt so good. Ponies taught me how to laugh from my heart, how to generally be happy. In truth, I thought writing about My Little Pony would be silly, that it wouldn't be possible to make an entertaining story about ponies. However, my first exposure to pony fanfiction taught me otherwise. Past Sins... a story that most already know, showed me just how amazing Equestria can be. It allowed me to see that an OC can truly take to the spotlight and deliver a performance so amazing, it warmed even my frozen heart. It took me by the hand, led me through the gauntlet of emotions, and opened my eyes to the glory of the written word once more. After realizing what I left behind I scoured FIMFiction looking for the amazing worlds that only an author could weave. In doing so I feel like I found a piece of myself that was lost long ago.

This was a pretty lengthy speech to basically say to all of the authors on FIMFiction (Every single one of you, whether considered amazing or horrible.) Thank you, Thank you all. Everything seems much brighter now thanks to all of you. Who knows? Maybe someday someone will read one of my stories, maybe I can inspire someone just as I was inspired. Who knows?
