It was my entry for the Storyteller writing event at Ponyville Ciderfest, which was published along with many other fine stories in "Scattered Pages: Tales from the Book of All Stories."

    BronyCon Round-Up (And Stories)

    Since Ponibius, Chengar Qordath and a slew of others have been assembling their thoughts (see below) I thought it was only fair that I do the same.

    UPDATES: New Stories, BronyCon and oh yeah, still alive!

    Yes, it's true, I live!

    I'm heading to BronyCon and decided now's a good time to a post an update--and show that I've not been completely idle.

    So, a quick explanation for my silence. I'm going to skimp over the real world issues (job stuff, family stuff, insane stalker troll threatening me and my friends, etc.) and deal with some concretes.

Updated! Woohoo! · 12:34am Mar 4th, 2017

Finally cranked out another chapter of "Diamond and the Rough." Progress!

Quick question, looking for a rhyming consultant for an upcoming story. Anyone good at measured rhyming? I mean, creating writing couplets that are don't sound awkward when someone says them and aren't lopsided (one couplet being too long and the other too short)? Anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks!

Funny you should mention that... I'm not exactly a slouch when it comes to wordplay, and that includes rhyming, alliteration, and puns. But there's more than one way to rhyme, and "couplets" aren't a style I specialize in. I'm more a fan of the "three-stage" rhyme, like for example:

"I tried to orate a speech,
on the shores of a briny beach,
after so many tries
it was clear to my eyes
that the knack was just out of my reach."

Still, I tend to do better when I have material to MAKE rhyme rather than just forming one out of midair, so perhaps you can give me an example to work with?

It's hard to come up with the lines at a whim. It'd be a sort of story-consultant role, going through the lines of a certain rhyming character (three guesses who) and trying to spruce up the dialogue. Would you be interested in assisting with something like that?

"Part of me fears that I won't meet the bill,
but if I let that control me, then I never will."

In other words, I'm game if you are. Hopefully I'll be up to the task.
