    In case you missed it…

    Someone asked me the other day why SciTwi’s nickname in Homecoming is Sunshine. In story, it was given to her by her grandmother, but both in story and out of story, it was really simple:

    you are my Sunshine/my only Sunshine/you make me happy/when skies are gray

    State of the author

    It’s now mid September, and there are a lot of things in the works for me.

    I stepped down from the readership position at work that had me running 60-70 hour weeks just so I wouldn’t go mad. I’m set tingly back into a comfortable 35-40 hour weeks and can feel my energies recharging.

    Strike, fade, run

    “Striking, fading and running. Each of these are three well used moves, my Lady.” Twilight spoke. “Most importantly, running.”

    “Why would I run?” Rarity huffed, still bent over slightly and catching her breath.

    April, with many a day…

    So I just spent from the third through today (sort of, still have some driving to do) on holiday. Went to Dallas to see the Eclipse in totality, swung though Hot Springs for… well, the hot springs, and finally St Louis for a lovely riverboat dinner before bidding the Boyfriend farewell and starting the trip home.

    Well, I started it...

    All Good Things... has commenced. I may have a chapter of it up tonight.

    I really want to start closing out the unfinished stories, but sometimes you just can't get back into the flow for them. Sorceress and the Siren is one, Into the Wilds is another. Which is sad cause I love writing Azure.

A New Game is starting up soon · 8:14pm Jan 19th, 2017

Which is great for me, since I've been jonesing for a new D&D game. So far, I only have a premise down for my wizard.

A mix of Trixie and Starlight Glimmer. I have to bump them up my pony list after the end of Season six. Quite the team they make, rescuing the Mane Six, the Royalty, and more or less anypony important without the use of magic.

I figure I'll take Trixie's ego and pride and combine it with Starlight's magical prowess and genius. So now you have an Illusionist specialist braggart that can back up her claims. Mostly going to have illusion spells in my spellbook but every new spell level I'm going to take a single evocation spell.

Character creation for me is a long process. I decide what class first, then I come up with a premise and backstory, traits and flaws, and only then do I roll dice for attributes.

This is the same process I used when I created Azure, who my avatar is representing. I've referred to her origins in a previous blog so I won't go into it here.
