    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.

Onwards! · 9:32am Oct 1st, 2016

So, Chapter 10 of The Bridle Path is ready to go. I'm just waiting on a couple of beta readers to have a look over it and see if I've made any major errors. It should be live in around 12-18 hours from this post. Speaking of which I think Chapter 10 is going to be one of my strongest chapters yet. Why? Because I'm having folks double check me before I hit the 'Publish' button.

Chapter 9s problem was that I got locked into how I was seeing the chapter and I forgot to step outside of myself and try look at it as others would view it. I failed, and wound up basically rewriting the entire chapter because people made good, accurate criticisms of the chapter that I could not ignore.

Chapters 10 and 11 are the last two before all hell breaks loose in the story. Even Chapter 11 is going to have a major confrontation.

Queen Chrysalis, Relationship Counselor is basically on hold for now. I really want to my serious story out of the way before I push on with the light hearted stuff. But it is giving me time to put together ideas for future chapters.

Okay, recommendations:

Celestia, Chaos Edition Yup, someone went and did it. Good on them.

As a married man I can't tell you how spot on this is.

All the best to you and yours.
