I write stories so that I won't be kept awake at night with a brain full of ponies.

    Sorry I vanished on you all...

    I kind of left you all and basically stopped updating without any warning. Really, that was a bit mean of me. The truth is, however, that I recently have had little to no interest in pony stuff. Yes, I watch the episodes and maybe read a fic or two, but I just haven't been interested in ponies. Other things have caught my attention.

    I guess what I'm saying is that I'm on pony hiatus.

    My Thoughts

    Almost exactly a year ago, I sat down and wrote up a checklist of very general plot points that I wanted to cover for Split Second: An Eternity Divided. I wrote down fifteen major points that I wanted to cover, not including whatever I chose to end the story with. I had no idea how long it would last me, but I figured that would be good. I couldn’t really think of anything else to

    Instead of studying for my finals like a good boy...

    ... I was working on the next chapter. You'd better love this chapter, 'cause if I fail, I'm blaming y'all.

    Anyway, my pre-reader, Dream Seeker, has the next chapter to look over. Expect it soon.

    I sent the next chapter to my pre-reader.

    Expect it soon. That is all.

Commission Writing · 4:12pm Dec 6th, 2015

I've been dabbling with the idea of doing commissioned writing, but I have no idea where to start. I'm thinking of doing original fiction as well, not just fan fiction. If any of you know anything about commissioned writing, or know someone else who does, do you have any advice?

Also, would any of you be interested?

I've toyed with the idea before but found i didn't have the work ethic to fallow through on it, not for writing at least. but my advice would be to get a bead on your average chapter size, and how quickly you can churn one out. i believe the recommendation was that you base your rates on a per 1k of words. i'd go with $5 per 1k of words and adjust my prices based on interest, i wouldn't go much lower then $2 per 1k of writing tho. well that's my two cents
