    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

Surprise...surprise...surprise · 1:29am Sep 1st, 2022

I've been looking over things recently, and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised to see the level of activity on this site after so many changes over the years. I'm also surprised at how the Gen 5 stories are doing here. It seems like things will not peter out on this site anytime soon.
I was feeling a bit stalled out personally these days, so I thought I'd come back and tinker a bit with some of these old stories of mine. I keep rethinking exactly how to handle the big climax of "The Blue and the Grey", not sure how a situation that's heading quickly towards a military solution can be successfully deescalated. (because it really needs it.) And of course, "Danger Close" is on the verge of a major turn for the worse...if I can ever get to writing the damn thing. So of course, with two other stories sitting in limbo, I find myself spending time this particular night working on a completely different story, a sequel to "The Good Fight" of all things. Will any of this ever come to fruition? I can promise absolutely nothing. But, I will say this...the quest continues.
