You'll find, my friend, that in the gutters of this floating world, much of the trash consists of fallen flowers.

    Haze's Haunted School for Haiku

    Long ago in an ancient era, I promised to post my own advice guide on writing haiku, since I'd written a couple for a story. People liked some of them, so maybe I knew a few things that might be helpful. And I really wanted to examine some of the rules of the form, how they're used, how they're broken.

    Studio Ghibli, Part 1: How Miyazaki Directs Slapstick

    I used to think quality animation entirely boiled down to how detailed and smooth the character drawings were. In other words, time and effort, so it's simply about getting as much funding as possible. I blame the animation elitists for this attitude. If not for them, I might've wanted to become an animator myself. They killed all my interest.

    fairness

    This is a good video (hopefully it works in all browsers, GDC's site is weird) about fairness in games. And by extension, stories.

    Preferences are preferences, but some of them are much stronger than that. Things that feel wrong to us. Like we want to say, "that's not how stories should go!"

getting ready for Bronycon! · 12:47am Aug 6th, 2015

I probably should've announced this more than a few hours before I head off.

assuming no disaster happens along the way, I will be there at Bronycon to meet YOU, my hundreds of loyal fans! I rejected all offers of hosting fancy panels so I could spend more time with the ordinary ponyfolk. :rainbowkiss:

how will you get in touch with me? I dunno. magic and coincidence, I guess.

if you actually find me and recognize me, I'll draw a simple sketch for you. I don't have a vendor table so I'll just secretly sell commissions wherever. this is probably against the rules. :scootangel:

now, for my tradition of packing my bag at the last minute while watching the Speed Racer movie. see yall there!
