    The Knife’s Edge

    The other day I got a message from ZanarNaryon telling me they had created a TVTropes page for To Serve In Hell. Now, TVTropes can be a dangerous place to start reading, unless you have a few hours to spend getting lost in it. But if you want to check it out, please

    Not with a bang, but a whimper

    Hey friends.

    I didn’t used to believe in writer’s block as such. I always thought the phenomenon was a manifestation of something else in a person’s life. I also thought the cure for it was just to sit down and write any garbage you can. Editing should never mix with drafting, and if you can get yourself to stop editing, you’ll achieve more and better drafting—which can then be edited.

    Ping 2: Live and In Person

    Almost exactly 2.5 years ago, my family and I bought tickets to Whinny City Pony Con 2020. Of course there was no such con, at least not in a physical capacity. But good egg that he is, Charlie Worthley (con organizer extraordinaire) has made it effortless to transfer our tickets from that long-ago time to right now, despite all that’s transpired between.

    I live.

    Time's gotten away from me.

    2020 got weird. My 2021 started with an honest effort to get back to normal. But after I started getting treated for depression, I began to see more and more ways to improve things in my daily and family life that hadn't fit together very well in years. Including some of the core issues that had pointed me in the direction of MLP in the first place.

    Artistic Expression

    It's been too long. Things are great. Really, really great. Not so much for writing, but for different modes of expression and life.

The One Where CoffeeMinion Is Running Behind Schedule · 1:51pm Oct 24th, 2016

It's becoming less likely that the next scheduled chapter of To Serve In Hell will get done by 11/1. Preparations for Ponyville Ciderfest this coming weekend have been sucking up my free time, and I have some things I need to read for people ASAP... it's just best to call it now. I'm going to aim for either 11/15 or 12/1, and I'll post back once I figure that out.

However, it's going to be November soon, and that means it's National Novel Writing Month time again... and guess what, fillies & colts? This year I'm going into November with a specific novel in mind.

That novel is To Serve In Hell.

It won't all get released in November or December; once or twice -monthly updates is still probably the plan. But maybe I'll get the rest of it all drafted next month. That would actually be super awesome. Then it's just a matter of cleaning it up.

Anyway, I haven't been entirely idle lately. I had a story in the most recent Writeoff that took second place! It needs some cleanup, but hopefully it'll surface in the near future.

Woooo, looking forward to more of the story we all know and love! :trollestia:

Alright, write on when you can :)

4269475 That's enough sarcasm, you! :flutterrage:

...

:derpytongue2:

4269482 I appreciate the leniency. :twilightsmile:

4270704

Of course. One cannot rush a story :raritywink:

4270704

It's only sarcasm if I don't mean it! :rainbowhuh:

I like that story a lot, except for the part where you deviated from the original dragged to Tartarus idea. :derpytongue2:

Almost done with chapter 3 of my current wip. It keeps... getting longer. :derpyderp1:

4270961 you're too kind. And seriously, for all the times you've taken quick looks at my stuff, I'm sorry that most of my last week has been a big zero for reading. :raritycry:

I also still owe you that proper dragging to Tartarus, of course... :trollestia:

This may not fit in with the post but, always remember that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. If you ever have doubt in this:

These songs should set you straight. If a Parrot and some Dogs can front metal bands... you can do anything.

4273143 Obscure metal always fits with anything I do. :rainbowkiss: I'd heard of the parrot band before, but not the dog one. They've got some pretty sick chugs in there! :pinkiecrazy:
