Joining this whole new years blog thing · 5:01am Jan 1st, 2016
Welp, it's been a hell of a year, folks.
This time last year I had just finished writing my magnum opus, The Heart of an Author, and was 20k words into writing my other Magnum Opus, Fractured Sunlight.
Now, a year later, and maybe 150k words or so later, I've gotten hundreds more followers, and many horsepoints to boot. Fractured Sunlight made exactly the kind of huge splash I knew it would when I started. Thank you all for reading it, and hope you will enjoy what's left to come in 2016.
Incidentally, I spent upwards of $400 on fanfic art and fanfic art accessories in 2015.
Now, you've probably already seen the horsewords I've published on fimfiction, (And if you haven't, go read them, obviously) but what you may not know is that I actually participate in the monthly writeoff competitions. I've written a lot of short stories and minifics that for various reasons, I've chosen not to publish on fimfiction. Yet.
Here's a list. You may see some of these on fimfiction someday, but I am incredibly lazy.

Phew. That's a lot of stories.
If you really want to read some of them, you can track down many of the first draft versions on the writeoff site, though you're on your own. For various reasons, they're not up to my standards for publishing, so seek out at your own risk.
Anyway, I plan to write plenty more this year. Let's see what 2016 holds for us all!
Those all sound good. But Love Twiangles 2? yay.
TwiShy...that's an odd pairing these days.
