    First Launch

    M’ rocketship-obsessed 3.5-year old experienced her first model rocket launch this late afternoon. After m’ wife got home from work, we took six of the thirteen readied rockets out, to give the launch pad its maiden launch as well as kick off a new era of model rocketry in m’ family. M’ wife suggested a field beside our church’s parking lot.

    A whole decade

    Tomorrow’s special.

    28 March 2009, at 2:30pm, m’ wife and I tied the knot. Hard to believe it’s already been that long...and yet, it’s so permanent in m’ brain that I, quite literally, cannot imagine life without her at all. It’s one of precious few things I’ve done where I can honestly say I have no doubts in the least that this was right decision.

    Here’s to the next ten.

    To alter to meet newly canon things, or not?

    It appears Trixie's real father has been identified, courtesy of this last episode. Kinda makes me wonder if she’s the result of an special-”private-performance”-after-a-show or some such. But anyways....

    An idea that popped into m' head

    I don’t think anybody’s done something with Doki Doki Literature Club! and ponies yet...could have the EqG Mane 7 stream the game and have their reactions to the :applejackconfused::fluttercry::pinkiegasp::rainbowhuh::fluttershbad::fluttershyouch: sort of gameplay, as well as any “viewers” of their stream. For those of you who aren’t familiar with said

An update of a different variety · 9:11am Apr 12th, 2016

Hooray, filling in during third shift when all the kiddos are asleep and not being unholy terrors. :unsuresweetie:

Over the last several days, I went and checked for continuity breaks between Those Who Sport With Giants and Eleven. Those have been dealt with. While I was at it, I also made the format between both stories uniform, namely that thoughts appear italicized and in separate paragraphs from narration; I think that'll make parts of Giants easier to read. Also in Giants, I cleaned up unnecessary telling, being too much of a thesaurus in avoidance of the word "said," and points that weren't clear as well...and dealt with "Lavender Unicorn Syndrome." :applejackunsure: Oh man, was I ever a big violator of that in m' first fic, especially during the game. :twilightoops::twilightblush::facehoof:

Even with adding detail to show instead of tell, inserting missing words, and clarifying blurry descriptions, I still ended up shedding 618 more words than what were added. :pinkiegasp: Only the first and second chapters, and epilogue, ended up longer. Sheesh.

With all that cleaned up, I'm debating submitting it to Equestria Daily again, since they didn't give it a strike when they rejected it last time.

So...yeah. That's about how things are over here. How are you?
