    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

Update on Stories and Upcoming Blog Series · 1:31am Apr 25th, 2014

Thanks to everyone's enthusiasm in the comments, I am pleased to announce my first Twilight's Library weekly recap blog will be up and kicking sometime tomorrow afternoon. I'll be starting off with a general summary post of the roughly 400 stories I've reviewed since signing on, along with an overview of how I tend to review things. There may even be graphs!

In other news, you may recall my mentioning a certain comedy by the name of They Know! in a blog post awhile back. Unfortunately, I have hit a roadblock and it has slunk back to the drawing board until further notice. I have, however, been toying with an idea that will finish off my Dilbert crossover, Kumberbuzzles Over Canterlot. With any luck, I'll be putting my efforts towards that instead. It will be an abrupt end, but entertainingly so.

In still other news, I have decided to try an experimental blog series based on an acting class I happened to take for fun. Looking at stories from the view of an actor who actually has to figure out how to bring words to life is an interesting perspective, and one I haven't run into that often. The series will be based on the guideposts of acting found in Audition, by Michael Shurtleff, with supplementary notes from A Practical Handbook for the Actor, by Melissa Bruder et al. I will summarize each relevant guidepost and add some commentary of my own to point out ways authors might use each one. The first blog in this series will take place next Monday, with additional blogs posted every other day or approximately whenever I feel like it, whichever happens to occur. Finals week is coming up, after all.

Thank you to everyone who has shown their support, and hope to see you tomorrow!
