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.

It's been a day and a half since A Dinky Little Problem went live, and IMO the response thus far has been huge. Not featured-box huge, but huge on a more personal level.

Above all, thank you for reading. My bio hints at a long love/hate relationship with writing. I love it, but it gets discouraging when I struggle to find people to read things that have consumed hours of drafting and editing time. Here on FimFiction, what I'm writing may not be Shakespeare, but people are checking it out. That's really cool in my book.

So, what's next? Unfortunately, June may be a month where I've got more ideas than time. If I do get something out this month, it'll probably be more along the lines of a random quickie like Strange Obsessions than the carefully-balanced feels of A Dinky Little Problem.

Stick around, though, 'cuz I'm just getting started.
