    The Knife’s Edge

    The other day I got a message from ZanarNaryon telling me they had created a TVTropes page for To Serve In Hell. Now, TVTropes can be a dangerous place to start reading, unless you have a few hours to spend getting lost in it. But if you want to check it out, please

    Not with a bang, but a whimper

    Hey friends.

    I didn’t used to believe in writer’s block as such. I always thought the phenomenon was a manifestation of something else in a person’s life. I also thought the cure for it was just to sit down and write any garbage you can. Editing should never mix with drafting, and if you can get yourself to stop editing, you’ll achieve more and better drafting—which can then be edited.

    Ping 2: Live and In Person

    Almost exactly 2.5 years ago, my family and I bought tickets to Whinny City Pony Con 2020. Of course there was no such con, at least not in a physical capacity. But good egg that he is, Charlie Worthley (con organizer extraordinaire) has made it effortless to transfer our tickets from that long-ago time to right now, despite all that’s transpired between.

    I live.

    Time's gotten away from me.

    2020 got weird. My 2021 started with an honest effort to get back to normal. But after I started getting treated for depression, I began to see more and more ways to improve things in my daily and family life that hadn't fit together very well in years. Including some of the core issues that had pointed me in the direction of MLP in the first place.

    Artistic Expression

    It's been too long. Things are great. Really, really great. Not so much for writing, but for different modes of expression and life.

Uncharted Territory · 2:21pm Sep 21st, 2019

Howdy, friends! I’ve got two more relevant items to throw your way this week.

First of all, there’s a cool new type of Writeoff going this weekend: one I created myself! (Under the auspices of the Writeoff’s new groups functionality, and with the support of many awesome people who joined in.) If you’d be interested in trying to write a 750-1250 word story for the prompt “Uncharted Territory” during the next ~45.5 hours, please come check it out!

(This being a new feature and the first contest created therein, the Writeoff site has kind of buried it deep in a sub-page, so I fear it’s not getting much foot traffic from people who just check the front page.) :raritydespair:

And second, it’s been too long since I’ve had fresh new horsewords for all y’all. I should soon be able to remedy that if all goes well. I first teased my cover art for An Apple Asunder over a year ago, but it’s taken surprisingly long to get such a short little fic cleaned up. Look for your next dose of Sad Filly Applejack coming soon!

That’s awesome! Thanks for joining in the madness! :pinkiecrazy:

Well, I was actually able to due to the relaxed submission times and the higher word count.
