You'll find, my friend, that in the gutters of this floating world, much of the trash consists of fallen flowers.

    Haze's Haunted School for Haiku

    Long ago in an ancient era, I promised to post my own advice guide on writing haiku, since I'd written a couple for a story. People liked some of them, so maybe I knew a few things that might be helpful. And I really wanted to examine some of the rules of the form, how they're used, how they're broken.

    Studio Ghibli, Part 1: How Miyazaki Directs Slapstick

    I used to think quality animation entirely boiled down to how detailed and smooth the character drawings were. In other words, time and effort, so it's simply about getting as much funding as possible. I blame the animation elitists for this attitude. If not for them, I might've wanted to become an animator myself. They killed all my interest.

    Can't think of a title.

    For years, every time someone says "All Lives Matter" I'm reminded of this quote:

    I first heard of this from that weird 90s PC game

    fairness

    This is a good video (hopefully it works in all browsers, GDC's site is weird) about fairness in games. And by extension, stories.

    Preferences are preferences, but some of them are much stronger than that. Things that feel wrong to us. Like we want to say, "that's not how stories should go!"

almost getting ready for BronyCon! · 2:37pm Jul 5th, 2016

just like last year, I probably should've announced this more than a few hours before I head off. :scootangel:

leaving today and visiting a friend's place along the way, then driving the rest of the way to Baltimore. I hope nothing goes wrong.

here's my very detailed con schedule:

there will be a break at HIGH NOOOOOON where I will duck behind cover for 6 seconds.

I'll doodle ponies for you if you ask me. since I don't have an AA table, I'll borrow the Sofa & Quills room again this year. I'll bring my watercolor set too, so if you discretely slip me some money I'll put more effort into your picture. then you can use it for your fic's cover art or something.

and now, I gotta pack my bag while watching Speed Racer. SEE YALL THERE. :rainbowkiss:

See you there Haze!

See you at the con!

I owe you a story signal boost, which is probably going to happen while you're en route to Baltimore, so apologies for that in advance. Will be great to see you there though. :twilightsmile:
