What fills and soothes the soul will vary, but for me, I will not know until I try.

    Where am I going? What am I doing?

    So, the show is officially over. I've given my well wishes and thanked everyone. The ending did get to me. I wasn't fond of the epilogue, but I loved the 2 part finale.

    Anyways, I wanted to give a heads up on what is going on.

    Where the hay are the updates?

    Long time no-post, I guess. To put it blunt, I feel burned out on writing. This isn't to say I give up, but more that updates are gonna be exceedingly slow for a bit as I'm dealing with real life stuff at the moment. I'm in my final semester of college, and the 2nd to last class is really working me over. I hope I can pass the class. Still, there is a bit of doubt in my mind as the material

    Well that took a long time

    Opened my mail today to see that Diary of the Banished got rejected from The Royal Guard. I expect rejection anymore, yet what surprised me was the fact I got an actual response with some critiques. At this point, I fell ambivalent towards the criticisms. It's through writing that I get a great sense of pleasure and crave this type of interaction to better myself as a writer. It is through

    Slow Updates (Possible Mini-Hiatus)

    To reiterate what was stated in the previous blog, real life comes first. Though it's only two classes, I'm really engrossed with one class that requires a good 75% of my attention due to its difficulty. Story update wise, I have some concept down for Diary of the Banished and Full Bloom.

    Updates coming

    I want to apologize to the readers who are expecting updates to several of my stories. Real life comes first, as is the motto, so I'm having to put off my stories for a little bit. With all of that being said however, there are updates coming. After my finals next week, I will have some free time to start working on my stuff again.

Updates · 5:29pm Apr 15th, 2014

I'm not one to post blogs and such, so I will be brief.

1. I have a couple stories in the works. These stories will be pushed out during May when things, luck permitting, settle down for me. One story will be my first venture into adult literature. It's something I cooked up a while back, and then put on the back burner. I hope it will be a decent story, and it won't be just a smut piece.

2. Older pieces will be getting some love and attention. "Cleaned, Fixed, and Flushed" will be the first story I start with; it has a bad cased of Lavender Unicorn Syndrome and needs a good bit of TLC. My Derpy Delivers A Pizza is the next story to get some attention so I can fix some errors. Also, I will either put a side story in Derpy Delivers A Pizza as chapter prologue of sorts or make it a self-contained story to compliment it. As a reader, I hate to be puzzled by stories and this is where I fell flat as an author.

Luna's Breakfast will also be getting an updated story as the princess explores the Canterlot Kitchen. I have one story that's going through revisions at this current point in time.

3. The Masked Muffin will be a challenge since I haven't done my 3 day writing exercises in a while, and the tap to my creative juices seems to be firmly shut off. I hope this can jar it loose enough for me to start writing better and better stories, eventually leading towards my own ideas which I can sell down the road.
