    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.

Well, it certainly has been a busy couple of weeks. I was a little worried after I finished Bridle Path that I might not have any steam left to carry on. Happily the gold mine that is Damaged's discord chat is a source of both ideas and energy. So, in rapid succession I've punched out a new chapter of Queen Chrysalis, Relationship Counselor, a new chapter of Equestria, Destroyed, and a sequel to Thruster. Titled, Thruster, Mark II. Without The Bridle Path beating on the inside of skull trying to get out, I've been able to shift to a rotation schedule on my writing. Write a chapter of one thing, then move on to the next. Repeat until I get back to the start.

Which should keep things from sitting too long without updates.

Anyway, I'm about to start work on my next major work, "Journey". A Luna based fic which will take place on Earth. Our Earth. Here is a hook for the story, written by the talented Door Belle:

The unicorn stared mutely at the creature in front of her. It stared back.

It was several minutes before the unicorn remembered that once, this was the correct occasion on which to introduce one's self. That it had a name to introduce with. The unicorn opened its mouth. Sluggishly, it recalled why it never did so to speak anymore, and shut its mouth again. Only whinnying and braying noises would come out, any more.

The creature fell to its knees before her, and began to make strange sounds.

Life rushed back into the unicorn's mind.

Luna. Her name was Luna. The creature before her was chanting. It was... she, by the looks of the anatomy she had bared, was... praying before her? Supplicant--

Everything was coming back so quickly. Luna drew herself up to her full regal posture, and closed her eyes, luxuriating in the simple joys of dignity and thought. She opened her eyes and looked down. The female biped was still there, trembling with... joy? The creature's facial features were much like a pony's, though Luna reminded herself that she couldn't be one hundred percent certain. The tears and wide smile certainly suggested joy, however.

Cautiously, Luna smiled back. Then, with the scraps of this world's weak magic she had held in reserve from her long near-mindlessness, she disappeared. Invisibility took too much effort; she simply cast a perception filter over herself. There was no longer anything unusual here.

I hope you will find it enjoyable. Okay, time for things I've found interesting to read.

BY THE BLACK AXE OF NIGHTMARE MOON! - I really got a kick out of the story idea here. Vice Principle Luna was a heavy metal maven, who performed under the name..."Nightmare Moon". Seems Rainbow Dash was a fan.

A Mark of Appeal - One hell of an awesome ride. I really, really loved the world building of the Minotaurs in this. Plus, the idea of a cutie mark for sex appeal was interesting.

Hot Dam - Another brave author tries their hand at a Harry Dresden crossover fic. I'm always a sucker for anything Dresden related.

Finally,
The Most Successful Assassination of Princess Celestia - This one has sat on the front page for days, and deservedly so. I won't spoil any of it for you but it's really, really good.

As always, all the best to you and yours.
