Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

    Stepping Down from Fanfic Writing; Focusing on Life, Career, Game Dev

    This blog post might not come as any surprise given the last new chapter of anything I posted was a year ago. I meandered away from the site for some time, unsure if I would feel like coming back. I'm making this blog post because I'm pretty sure now at this point I won't want to write ponyfic any time soon. I really regret leaving A Darkened Land unfinished, since I did truly enjoy writing quite

    An Update

    After being silent so long I guess I should start by saying this isn't a gloom and doom type blogpost, heh.

    Unpopular Opinion #6: Learning Theory Can Kill You

    Okay, maybe "kill you" is a bit overdramatic, but "clickbait" is sort of a theme of these blog posts' titles anyway so yeah.

    I recently came back from Bronycan where I spoke on 3 separate hour-long writing panels. I got some pretty good words of encouragement from people saying they learned something, and actually in talking that much about writing I felt I learned something too.

    My Slow Writing and Life Update

    I'm 4th year University student studying Computer Science. I'm into writing, art, programming, and game development. I tend to plan far in advance for the future, and previously I've mentioned A Darkened Land will likely be my last novel length fic.

    Bronycan Details

    Hey there! So I'm all set for Bronycan and they've got the schedule up on their website.

    In a surprise turn of events, the coordinator approved of all of our panels! That means I'll be sitting in as a panelist on 3 of the 4 writing panels our little group is organizing. Here's the times/topics for all four:

A Darkened Land Chapter Sometime This Weekend · 7:34pm Jul 28th, 2015

Hey, just wanted to say I'll be posting the next chapter later this weekend. It's the final week of summer classes at uni and there's a lot of assignments due. I'll be able to edit it up during the time I have to study for finals (when I take breaks from studying).

I have finals on the 5th, 6th, and 10th. In between the first two and the last I should be able to post the followup chapter that comes after. That will mark the first arc of the story complete and so it may be a short while before I begin posting the second.

Why will it be a short while? Well, I have the first chapter of arc 2 done already, but as with the first arc—which I finished in its entirety before posting the story—I want to be at least 5 chapters ahead of what is currently posted. Originally I wanted to finish the entire second arc before posting it, but now I feel like that will take too long.

The good news is after my final on the 10th I have 3 weeks of freedom and I plan to seriously rev up my writing engine. I'm talking setting a 1k per day minimum during that time—not counting rewrites or editing. That means by the end of August I should have at least 5 chapters done. Whenever those start getting edited is probably when I'll be able to post them.

Anywho, you can probably expect a similar brief pause in posting between arc 2 and 3 as well.
