    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.

I might need some help here · 11:19pm May 16th, 2015

I hate to ask, but I was wondering if anyone could do a quick read of the next story I'm working on?

It's a short (~1400 words) slice-of-life that is set a couple years into the fanon of Derpy adopting Dinky. About 90% of it is just a conversation between Derpy and another pony with an interest in Dinky's well-being. To say more would be to spoil the main thing I'm struggling with: Does the connection with that other pony work as written, or does it ask the audience to suspend too much disbelief?

The other thing I'm unsure about is if this would be E-rated or T-rated. Content-wise, it's as tame as can be. But (again) the connection with the other pony pushes it outside of what the show would usually deal with.
