    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.

New face + dramatic reading + updates · 8:06pm Jan 10th, 2016

Don't panic at the sudden human appearing in your feed: I'm the same blue coffee pony as always, I'm just rocking a new avatar for the new year, courtesy of the inimitable Bluegrass Brooke.

But I digress: If you haven't seen it already, I'm excited to announce that Dr. Wolf has released a dramatic reading of The Counselor! I've been looking forward to seeing, hearing, and sharing this for a long time, as he first contacted me about this right after The Counselor was released. IMO it's worth the listen. Dr. Wolf's got a great voice, and he really brings what's otherwise a very dialogue-heavy story to life!

Now how about some story updates!

It looks like my January story will be an expanded version of a piece from the last Writeoff. It's short, melancholy, and focuses on some of Coloratura's supporting cast. Brooke was kind enough to offer some suggestions on the initial draft, and I might hit-up some other folks for subsequent drafts as well.

I'm also skipping the current Writeoff, as it focuses on original (non-MLP) fiction, and the Writeoffs are starting to happen in such rapid succession that participating in all of them would be more like work than fun... :ajsleepy:

Chapter 3 of Dark Rarity is... still frozen, as it has been since my push to get the previous chapter out by Christmas. :raritydespair: But I still wanna get that polished-up and released this month, if at all possible.

And last but certainly not least, I'm just about finished with an initial round of pre-reading for an MLP/40K crossover by my buddy (and frequent co-conspirator) Moosetasm. I don't know when chapters will start releasing, but I'll be excited to see them whenever they do!

Congrats on the audio reading!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUR FACE?

That dramatic reading is awesome. Good on you for getting one. I'm looking forward to pre-reading(or hearing) more of your stuff.
