    [Story Excerpt] The Drop-Off

    As before, a passage from Galvanized. The tentpole moments in the story were everyman protagonist Kevin seeing how the HLF's struggle to turn away the ponies actually went down, and it was these moments I had actually drafted up to act as waypoints for the plot. Like Mad Max in the excellent recent movie Fury Road, he is less of a "main character" and more of the vessel

    [Story Excerpt] Deal of a Lifetime

    This is a scene from my cancelled TCB story Galvanized in which the protagonist, Kevin, meets with Oklahoma's HLF head honcho in a kind of interview/acclimatization process. I never edited, beta'd, or even second-passed the chapter this scene was in, so it stands as-is, but as a concept for a set-piece I'm proud of it (it's also where the title-drop occurs) and wanted to share

    On Badasses and What Makes Them Badass

    This might be an ill-advised blog entry because I'm writing through a fever and it's late, but this pony fanfiction site is the only place I visit where I can even remotely pretend that me "writing about writing" is relevant to anything people are hanging around to see. I don't even know if a treatise like this exists elsewhere on FIMfiction but whatever, I can't get to sleep and whenever I close

    Happy Veteran's Day

    Whether you call it that, Remembrance Day, or Armistice Day, if you know someone who served, please thank them if you haven't already. Even during the best of times, duty permeates every aspect of your life. It's demanding living, hard on families and relationships, a perfect storm of boredom, obligation, trepidation, and, all too often, horror.

    Always Say No Featured on Royal Canterlot Library!

    A few weeks ago, I was approached asking if I would allow Always Say No to be put up on Royal Canterlot Library. I said yes, of course (I don't always say no, haw haw), and I very much enjoyed reading what RCL's staff had to say about it, which includes their own personal rationales for choosing

Back from Vacation · 4:09pm Jul 11th, 2012

I went out of town for a week for Independence Day and was away from my computer, so no story updates as yet. However, while on vacation I started dickering around with goofy quasi-medieval speech in iambic pentameter and it turned into a Tennyson-like romantic poem. It's pretty hokey and not very good, so of course I'm having a lot of fun writing it. I'll put it up here when it's done. One of the characters in my yet-unfinished HiE story speaks this way, so I've already decided to tie it in with that.
