    I got ART!

    I know I haven't done a blog in awhile, but being a full-time single parent working a full-time job, and a part-time writer tends to really chew into the hours I have in a week. That said, I just had to carve out a little time to show off the remarkable gift I was given from Lady Lightning Strike by way of the amazingly talented artist Pridark.

    Commissions!

    Yeah, been awhile since I've written any sort of blog post, but I do have some good news. I'm re-opening to commissions! My patrons on Patreon will get priority for their commissions first, but it doesn't mean that everyone else can't ask for some stories either. Here are my commission conditions:

    So... a small heads up about the upcoming month...

    I'm about to start writing the final chapter or two of the Brightly Lit saga, after which time I'm actually going to be going on vacation for a week. As in actual time off from my job and all other responsibilities. Which means no Twilight Learned this month, and perhaps not next month either as I reassess things in the wake of the end of writing roughly 350,000 words on one pair of stories set

    So... a bit of a heads up

    Over the past few years I've engaged in a practice of letting my patrons on Patreon decide what story I should update following the Brightly Lit update in the month, and I've noticed a bit of a pattern. Mainly that anytime "How Twilight Learned" comes up in the voting it easily wins. So recently I asked my patrons if they would like me to just concentrate on Brightly Lit and HTL until one of

    State of the Pen

    It's been 10 days since my brother died and 6 since we laid him to rest at the foot of a willow tree near a shady stream. I find myself both functional and numb. I can act, react, and do things, but anything beyond the basics is like trying to push fog with your hands. Something happens but not much. I find myself staring at a computer screen and feeling... nothing.

Sleep, she is for the weak · 7:19am Sep 14th, 2016

So, the mega marathon of work on the farm is done. Sadly, it also meant putting down one the animals. He had lived a good life and we kept him warm and fed despite his lack of production for months now. But age had taken it's toll and he was not going to survive the winter. Mustachio was laid to rest at the base of a maple tree today. May he walk where no shadows fall.

Speaking of shadows. Though I hadn't intended it, I guess I threw some of my readers a curve ball with my last chapter of Bridle Path. Such was not my intention. But I picked up a couple more downvotes. But I picked up more upvotes and I have several new folks following me. I hope I can make it worth your while.

Chapter 8 is underway and I have an idea for a new series once The Bridle Path is done. "Chrysalis, Relationship Councillor" will be the title of my next project as I shift gears and go from dark drama to romcom.

Recommendations for things to check out: The The Moon Rises. PREVIEW. If my avatar wasn't a clue I'm a big Luna fan. The Moon Rises has always been one of my favorite MLP songs and Duo Cartoonist promises to do it great justice. And I'm currently reading Daring Do and the Lost Tome of Shadows. Twilight Sparkle creates a Daring Do adventure for Rainbow Dash and Applejack.



Sleep, she calls to me now on velvet wings. To ease my aches and bring me dreams of times gone by and things yet to come. As always, all the best to you and yours.

No, sleep is for the "week", or at least that is how I used to say it.

Though I might have done things differently in the story, it is your story and I will gladly read it, and will likely still find enjoyment.

I would love to read a romcom with buggbutt, she is one of my favorite characters, even though I sometimes hate how the show has portrayed her (and my hate of how the comics have is legendary). I hope those mares don't argue in your head again, but you know what is worse than your characters arguing? When they agree. :twilightsmile:
