    The Knife’s Edge

    The other day I got a message from ZanarNaryon telling me they had created a TVTropes page for To Serve In Hell. Now, TVTropes can be a dangerous place to start reading, unless you have a few hours to spend getting lost in it. But if you want to check it out, please

    Not with a bang, but a whimper

    Hey friends.

    I didn’t used to believe in writer’s block as such. I always thought the phenomenon was a manifestation of something else in a person’s life. I also thought the cure for it was just to sit down and write any garbage you can. Editing should never mix with drafting, and if you can get yourself to stop editing, you’ll achieve more and better drafting—which can then be edited.

    Ping 2: Live and In Person

    Almost exactly 2.5 years ago, my family and I bought tickets to Whinny City Pony Con 2020. Of course there was no such con, at least not in a physical capacity. But good egg that he is, Charlie Worthley (con organizer extraordinaire) has made it effortless to transfer our tickets from that long-ago time to right now, despite all that’s transpired between.

    I live.

    Time's gotten away from me.

    2020 got weird. My 2021 started with an honest effort to get back to normal. But after I started getting treated for depression, I began to see more and more ways to improve things in my daily and family life that hadn't fit together very well in years. Including some of the core issues that had pointed me in the direction of MLP in the first place.

    Artistic Expression

    It's been too long. Things are great. Really, really great. Not so much for writing, but for different modes of expression and life.

The Queue · 2:08am Apr 5th, 2015

I've been queueing-up a couple fic ideas since releasing A Very Cranky Hearth's Warming.

Big Mac is usually portrayed as content if not happy in the show, but how much has he given up to be there for his sisters? What would he do if they reached points in their lives where they didn't need him in the same way anymore? I figure the Pie sisters could help press on that nerve, and maybe even help him tap into his oft-neglected fun side.

Star Swirl banished the Sirens to the EQG world, but what if he discovered that the banishment spell left one Siren separated from her gem? Could a Siren survive without that, and should Star Swirl even care if she doesn't? (I might try to invoke some Doctor Who-ness with this one, given that Star Swirl can totally do time travel... just without the usual "Time Charger" and "Blue Barn" tropes.)

I'm kicking-around a couple other ideas as well, but these seem more likely to get written first.
