    The needs of the many...

    I'm starting to make some real progress on my story "Danger Close" (unfortunately I'm still stalled out on "The Blue and the Grey") and I've already got almost two thousand words into the next chapter. My latest move is to find a possible new use for Daring Doo. She appeared early in my story, but I haven't worked her in very much since. The idea I had was for her is to possibly pursue a

    Uncharted Waters

    I've been working recently at the latest chapter of "Danger Close", and I've run into a problem. I've wanted to let one of my characters have a speech impediment, namely an occasional stammer. But, not having any personal experience with anyone with this issue, and having no training in the subject matter, I can't help but worry about whether I can do this and not have the character just seem

    The Cost of War

    I am making more progress of recent on the story "Danger Close" and I hope to have another chapter out within the next week or so. I'm aware that I don't have a huge following, but I still plan to finish the stories I've started. Today, my writing had to take a nasty turn as I've had to kill a character.

    Do Stories Have An Expiration Date?

    My story, "Danger Close", was originally started in the middle of 2019, right in the middle of the last season of MLP:FIM. I admit that it's been a long haul trying to figure out just how I wanted to structure it, and exactly how the story should develop. I'm not much of a writer, and even as a reader I tend to stick a little too much to history as opposed to fiction, which can limit one's

    Something is Coming

    I've been plowing ahead these last few days on the long delayed next chapter of "Danger Close", and I think I can say that it will be finished by next week. I should ideally feel a certain sense of pride, were it not for the fact that it has taken me close to two years to get this far. It's not that surprising as such things go. There are a lot of stories out there that have stalled out over the

On the Verge of Something · 2:13pm Jan 16th, 2019

Just submitted the two parts of the first chapter of my second story to the one friend of mine who knows that I'm interested in this stuff to see if it makes sense. (damn, don't you just hate run on sentences) If he thinks that it looks o.k., I'll submit it for approval, maybe even before the end of the week. It would be easier if I had a fellow brony to check this for me, but as an older fan that really hasn't been an option. I'm going to be taking on some rather nasty subjects in the next few months, and introducing some new ideas, so I guess we'll see now just what I'm really capable of.

Ah yes, this is the plan. But unfortunately I have found the whole process of sending my story off to get it's first read through a total pain in the but. Seems my friend can't get the whole image, so some of the words are cut off. What does one do about that? I don't have the software needed to convert to PDF (?). And thanks to my lack of computer skills, I can't even print the damn thing. Needless to say, all this may set things back a bit.
