    Tradition

    This one's particular poignant. Singing this on January 1 is a twelve year tradition at this point.

    So fun facts
    1) Did you know you don't have to be epileptic to have seizures?
    2) and if you have a seizure lasting longer than five minutes you just straight out have a 20% chance of dying in the next thirty days, apparently

    Two Martyrs Fall for Each Other

    Here’s where I talk about this new story, 40,000 words long and written in just over a week. This is in no way to say it’s rushed, quite the opposite; It wouldn’t have been possible if I wasn’t so excited to put it out. I would consider A Complete Lack of Jealousy from All Involved a prologue more than a prequel, and suggested but not necessary reading.

    Commissions Open: An Autobiography

    Commission rates $20USD per 1,000 words. Story ideas expected between 4K-20K preferable. Just as a heads up, I’m trying to put as much of my focus as I can into original work for publication, so I might close slots quickly or be selective with the ideas I take. Does not have to be pony, but obviously I’m going to be better or more interested in either original fiction or franchises I’m familiar

    My brain diagnosis ended up way funnier than "We'll name it after you". It turned out to be "We know this is theoretically possible because there was a recorded case of it happening once in 2003". It turns out that if you have bipolar disorder and ADHD and PTSD and a traumatic brain injury, you get sick in a way that should only be possible for people who have no

    I planned on making it this year but then ran into an unfortunate case of the kill-me-deads. In the moment I needed to make a call whether to cancel or not, and I knew I was dying from something but didn't know if it was going to be an easy treatment or not.

Wholesome Rage: Procrastination is Character Building · 5:15am Feb 21st, 2019

Horizon liked this one, and I like Horizon, so it must be good.

About the small moments and touches that make the whole thing worthwhile to read. A call to action to write fluff, faff and meander with precision.

Special thanks to Pearple Prose on his miraculous advice on what writing advice guides usually lack:

I’ll check it out later.

(Although seriously I enjoyed this blog. It spoke to me.)

Man, I am so bad at faffing.

Now that I’ve read it I have to admit that my drones have excellent taste

…uh, I mean, naturally I endorse this. Endorsed. A while ago. And I completely stand by my own opinion.

Excellent! Now I have justification for why my stories are pretty much nothing but characters faffing about. :facehoof:

Seriously though, this is a great article about writing character interaction. The concept of "How they react to a prompt." vs "How they react to a prompt." is especially poignant to me.
