I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

    Wife: What?

    Me: Don't worry about it.

    Bibliophilia across generations

    Kid: Daddy, I want to go to Barnes and Noble, please.
    Me: Sure. Why?
    Kid: I want to read the first book in the "Warrior Cats" series.
    Me: Reading is always encouraged in the house. Get in the car.

    Kid: Finished! Can we order the next few books in the series?
    Me: <pride>

Hype! I won a contest! · 9:34pm Jan 17th, 2020

So, I am pleased but surprised to report that I won first place in the NALU Holiday Competition!

NALU competition announcement

Quotes from judges' kind words:

Now, this story deserved the Grand Prize. Everything good that could be in a story, is in this story. There’s hurt, there’s comfort, there’s awwww-moments, there’s ouch,ouch,ouch-moments, an ending that will leave you in tears for a good hour… And the unexpected little twists that, as a Rainbow fan, I absolutely loved. A fall? Addiction? Her fears of another; her fears of somepony else following in her hoofsteps? Beautiful.

Big thanks! I don't feel deserving but I'll take it!
