I like editing fanfiction, and will happily proofread for anyone who asks! I lived in Japan for four years. So... there's that. Woo

    Self-proofreading tip!

    If you change the font and size to one you're not used to, it will force you to focus harder as you proofread your work. This will make it more likely for you to spot typos. Neat tip!

    - How to breathe life into your characters.
    - How to identify problems in your own writing, and how to fix or avoid them.

    Ciderfest, woo!

    Whew! I just got back from Milwaukee Ciderfest, my very first pony con! What a blast!

    Here are some of my highlights:

    Watching the premiere of "The Mane Attraction" in a convention hall with a brony horde. Everyone sang along with the intro song!

    I made a thing!

    It's not fiction-related. Or pony-related. So honestly, it has no business being on this website. But I'm decently happy with how it turned out, so I'm posting it here anywayzzz

    I didn't compose this. I performed and recorded each part, then edited them together.

I read a poem! Check it out, if you're interested. · 10:26am Jul 11th, 2014

I used to read fantasy novels before I found my hooves and switched over to fanfiction, and I sometimes visited blogs of authors I liked, including GRRM, Brandon Sanderson, and this guy, Scott Lynch. He posted this gem on his blog one day, and I loved it to death.

TO THE MAN WHO DESIGNED THE TABLE I JUST ASSEMBLED

Oh, it's death for you, my boy
but not for a good long time.
An elastic interval, shall we say, between points A and B
where B is the furnace, and A a fine assortment
of power tools.
Yes, we're going to have some words, you and I
Though whether they'll come before or after
the piranha
is an open question.
I like to give my whims room to breathe.

See, I never understood how events might conspire to make a supervillain
but congratulations!
I'm fresh from the forge.
With hex wrench imprints on nine fingers.
In fact, if I ever see another piece of lacquered particleboard
ever
again
I'm going to punch a baby dolphin to death. Yes.
And take the corpse to a childrens' hospital.
And give it to a kid hooked up to a dialysis machine.
Because it's not like he'll be able to run away.
Not easily.

By the way, when I said piranha
you thought I meant tank?
I meant solution.
Seems I spent my aquatic horror budget on the blue-ringed octopus.
Expensive!
You wouldn't think you could slip such a thing through customs
(and honestly you're not supposed to)
but have you ever read Bruce Schneier's blog? Edifying stuff.
Anyhow, pay attention now
As this concerns you:
My Allen Wrenches have just come white-orange off the fire
and tied up like that, you look like a table.
So much like a table.
In very serious need
of tightening.
