    Quickdraw Blog. BANG!

    Heya folks! This will be a quick blog, more rapid update outta necessity than witty commentary, so i'll cut straight to the chase. I've got good and bad news. The good, in my opinion, outweight the bad! But you be the judge:

    It Cuts Like a Knife; It Might Leave You Bleeding

    Story reviews are interesting because, sure, you can use them to know if a certain book will be the right one for you? But I feel they’re more useful when the review is in itself a tool to talk about storytelling in general. You review a book, but the book is a jumping-off point to discuss what it means to have good pacing; stuff like that.

    A Full Year of Only Mondays

    Good morning. This is, from my point of view, a comedy blog. From the point of view of my family and loved ones, it's a horror story.

    I'm so fucking back, baby. Hi, all. Did you miss me? I know I did.

Does this mean I am not bad at romance anymore?

Hahahah.

God no.

One day I'll probably write an actual, straightforward romance. Today, sadly, was not that day. But maybe at some point, perhaps? I've read enough shitty fics to at least know what not to do.

On that note, sorry for the lack of updates on the "How Not To Write Romance" series. New one coming soon.

Soon.

On the other hoof, this is an excellent (but brief) article on how not to write about not writing about romance. :pinkiehappy:

#They fuck you up your mom and dad #They may not mean to but they do #They fill you with the faults they had #And add some extra just for you! #But they were fucked up in their turn #By fools in old-style hats and coats #Who half the time were soppy-stern #And half at one another's throats #Man hands on misery to man #It deepens like a coastal shelf #Get out as early as you can #And don't have any kids yourself.

It was a good read. Conveniently sidesteps the actual "write the romance in detail" part, but it does so for a good reason. I approve.
