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.

Ping

I live.
Time's gotten away from me.

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.

I did it.

Today I crossed the finish line: 50,000 words of ponyfic in November. It was grueling but awesome. Here's what all I wrote:

* Bring Heavy Rock To The Land [EqG, Romance, Drama] -- basically finished draft (12 chapters; still needs a tiny bit of glue)
* Power Pony Adventures: El Taco Loco vs. The Red Menace [Adventure, Thriller] -- finished draft (3 chapters + epilogue)
* Change We Can Believe In -- cleaned up and released
* Baby Limestone Rides To War [Slice of Life, Random] -- finished draft (one-shot)
* To Serve In Hell -- drafted chapters 7-14; working on 15
* Mysterious Writeoff fic -- written and posted; made it to finals!
* Toilette Sparkle [Comedy, Drama] -- Started

I will be working in the next few days to transition back into normal-life mode, as I've been heads-down writing and doing nothing else for the most part. But hey, guess what guys? I've got some more stories incoming!
