    Writing Advice or Reading Advice?

    Poked my head in at The Writer's Group for the first time in awhile. Answered some questions. Enjoyed some of the complementary snacks from the coffee table (SweetAiBelle: the hay-oreos were getting a little stale).

    Concerning US Election Shenanigans

    It has come to my attention that a lot of people in the US are understandably freaking out about the presidential election. In fact, psychologists in the New York area are going so far as to declare Trump-Induced Anxiety is a Medical Thing. While the problems that plague America cannot be

    Lecture: Ideas

    "Is this a good idea" threads are one of the most common topics on writing forums to the point that most have to ban these types of threads to avoid getting spammed to death. However, when these types of questions are allowed, most people worth their salt will give a stock "I dunno, it depends on your execution"-like answer. It can be a very frustrating situation for a new writer looking for

New Story in the Works · 4:37am Mar 27th, 2014

I have, in fact, been writing recently. The lack of posted stories is more because the ideas haven't been coming together quite right. However, I have recently managed to make something of one of them. The results should be more or less publishable tomorrow after a fresh read-through and the all important description crafting.

The story started as a crackfic idea from Rainbow Bob several months back. He was grumbling that there had been Scootadopt all over the featured box, so I said "Hey, why not have Scoots adopt filly Dash and Twi because reasons?" As the idea developed, I realized I had some sad Scootaloo, but the crack adoption plot was not going anywhere. I decided to drop the crackfic and flesh out the Scootasad. Hence the story.

This story aims to be an experience more than anything, so too much detail here would take away from it. Expect melancholy, atmosphere, stark prose, and a focus on description.

In other news, I may have something for a quicker than planned ending to Kumberbuzzles Over Canterlot. It won't be pretty, but it will at least bring some closure while keeping with the spirit of the rest of the story. Stay tuned.
