    Trying new things, polishing old ones

    During the time I was working from home (shortly after the start of quarantine), I discovered the sword-and-sorcery genre. After happening upon audio readings of stories by Robert E. Howard on YouTube, I began immersing myself in the adventures of Solomon Kane and Conan of Cimmeria. Having played Dungeons & Dragons in high school (and still keeping up with every edition of the game since),

    Why Diamond Tiara does not attend Crystal Prep Academy

    (Aside from the fact that CPA was not introduced until the third movie)

    I recently formulated an explanation:

    The Filthy Rich of the Equestria Girls universe was once romantically involved with Abacus Cinch. Although their individual ambitions ultimately led them to drift apart, they remain friends.

    Shadow Five Headcanons

    Just recording these thoughts before I call it a night... thought I’d share these for kicks and giggles:


    Sunny Flare

    • Physically the second-smallest of the Shadow Five.
    • Principal Cinch’s niece.
    • A bit of a germaphobe.
    • For some reason, I imagine her being of Italian descent (I have her cheer "bravissima!" in one story).

    Back to the Daily Grind

    Hello everyone!

    These last couple of weeks have been quite busy, but productive. Last month, after working from home for nearly six months, I went back to work onsite at my day job. It was a bit of an adjustment going back to a commuting schedule, but it does feel good to get out of the house, even just as part of a daily grind (with all precautions taken of course).

Still At It · 4:22am May 3rd, 2020

I've been going through an extremely rough patch of late, and that's putting it very lightly. :ajsleepy:

As those of you who watch me on DeviantArt already know, my mother passed away in late March. Even without all of the insanity going on with this current pandemic, this was a real punch to the gut. As I help my family tie up loose ends, I remind myself that I still have a job, a roof over my head, and most importantly, my health.

For much of April, I've been struggling to create anything, written or visual. During times like this, I normally would have gone out to an art museum or to the coastline to clear my head. But even if I am stuck at home, I will make the most of my time one way for another.

On that note, I do have a tiny bit of good news...

I am pleased to announce that I have just finished writing a new Equestria Girls belly dance story - a fun, short, and sweet tale featuring Starlight Glimmer, Sunset Shimmer, and Sci-Twi. I will post it once I finish the cover image.

I hope that everyone is staying safe and sane. We will get through this!

I know I said it before, but I am sorry for your loss. :ajsleepy:

It's a good attitude to have, though, reminding yourself of what you do have - especially in this crazy time. I often tell myself that I'm lucky, that my parents and I have managed to remain healthy and not have to go hungry or such.

It's good to hear that you've gotten something written. It's a good sign, I think, being able to write or create something during a hard time. (Though of course, don't push yourself too much!)

Stay safe, and stay sane, you said it! :pinkiesmile:

My condolences.

My condolences.

I'd give you a hug if I could (and if there wasn't a pandemic).

Take care of yourself.
