    Blocked!

    Extremeenigma02 has blocked me from posting on any of his stories & banned me from PM ING him to ask why.

    Damned if I can guess. Most offensive thing I posted on any of his stories was a list of some typos & a suggestion that he get a proofreader from The Proofreader Group

    Pet Peeves

    Supposedly, Hearth's Warming = Christmas.
    No it does NOT!
    Christmas is supposed to be about the birth of Jesus. Watch A Charlie Brown Christmas if you don't know that.

    Per the S2 E11 episode, Hearth's Warming Eve, it is about the tribes coming together to drive off the Wendigos and found a nation which (I suppose) eventually became Equestria.

    Military Service

    Elvis Presley was in the military in the 1950s John Wayne (famous for playing military roles & cowboys) was A3 (sole financial support of his family) & never served.

    Rudyard Kipling also never served (Wrote a LOT of military stories). Bad eyes + too old & married for WW1.

    Hemingway drove an ambulance in WW1 + was in Spain during the Fascist conquest.

    Stuff Learned Along The Way

    Arnold Shwartzeneggger almost turned down the role of The Terminator (arguably his most famous role) because the part had only 23 lines in the whole movie.

    Abraham Lincoln was a famous wrestler in his youth. He had only 1 loss in about 300 matches.

Getting Started · 8:50am Jan 6th, 2017

Although I haven't written any stories yet, I have incessantly frequently commented on other people's work. Somehow, this has attracted a few followers. So, I've decided to start a blog.

I am working on a story "The Star Squirrel Hostage Crisis". It will be an AU version of the events in episode 65 Magical Mystery Cure with Pinkie as the Element of Magic. I was a class clown myself & hopefully I can do this. Like Dorothy in Oz, I know where I'm at & where I want to go but I'm having a bit of trouble getting from here to there.

Asimov said something to the effect that comedy was the hardest thing to write because a story could be kind of mysterious, sort of romantic, a little scary, etc. & still work but for comedy it was only the bull's eye or nothing. It was either hilarious or not the least bit funny.

Well, it will escape be released someday -but probably not someday soon.
