I write pony words that people seem to like. I also review fics and draw purty pictures, apperently. I'm an older fan of MLP, so expect a lot of 80's references.

    Welp, it's been a YEAR, down to the DAY, since my last blog post.

    This means nothing, I was just noticing the dates.

    But while I got you here, I'm gonna throw up some SFW art I've done recently.

    It's 2am on Thursday, and I have an idea for NEW Pinkie Pie Loves Bacon Bits content. (plus ARTPOSTING#3)

    I woke up with a fully formed idea for a new chapter in my silly anthology of scenes where Sunset Shimmer is haunted by pony!Pinkie lodged DEEPLY in my mind and I think I'm going to write it. I'm in a writerly mood. Apparently.

    Are you still in a Spooky mood?

    This flew under my radar yesterday, so I just woke up to find it and it is just as sweet as all that discounted candy! Give it a listen and pop over to Lostus's page and drop a like or a comment or something. This is top tier work!

    Wordposting (Really a 6K word long 'scene' and a half from the OF I'm working on)

    I posted a little section of this last blog, but I think I'm happy where this is at right now. Obviously this takes place in the midst of a larger narrative, so there might be some/a lot of context that's lost here, but the gist is a couple of priests and a warlock form up an adventuring party and before they even have their first outing, some shit goes down at the tavern.

    10 years of this.

    Happy birthday to the version of Pony that made my life more than a little brighter.

    These hoofed ruminates (and their humanoid counterparts) will always have a special place in my heart.

Dazzling Sunset Chapter 9 Goes Up 10/4 · 1:43am Oct 4th, 2016

Now that I have your attention, let me say thanks for letting me get my head straight on this one. Editing is going on right now, and should be all taken care of by midnight. Chapter 9 hit just shy of 6.5K words over all and I'm worried a little about the pacing around the middle-ish bit.

One of the reasons this took so long was that this is actually the SECOND version of chapter 9. I had the first one almost done when I hit a snag in my work flow and I realized that I was painting myself into a corner. I had, during the writing of chapter 8, fallen in love with the idea of a scene between Sunset and Adagio. A scene that, to realistically come about, required the story and the characters to jump through some hoops that then left some unfortunate implications lying around. Plus, ultimately, the scene didn't add to the story in any meaningful way other than a certain amount of cute/d'aww. So with a heavy heart, I set the whole thing on fire (metaphorically, at least) and started with a fresh re-think.

That's what you'll be seeing tomorrow: the re-thinkening of chapter 9. While it was hard changing direction, it was a good choice. I think. The story is stronger, more thought out, and should have the more satisfying end when we get there.

Another reason this was so long in coming was simply my workload at my actual job. We've been knee deep in several projects for the last few months, getting ready for the holiday season, getting ready for the new year, and moving to a new corporate HQ at the same time. I've had to learn (and relearn) new skills and how to use several new programs, as well as step up and take command of two projects myself with an intern to help out. While that was going on, I've been dealing with my on-going health issues and taking care of Bubble for a few weeks while her back was out.

Basically, I been busy.

When I did have free time...well, let's say writing was a lot like pulling teeth most days and what I did produce was choppy. But now, we are finally past the big project! AND I should be wrapping up the last phase of the two I'm working on this coming weekend, fingers crossed.

Stay classy!
