I hesisted to make this decision because well, people do seem to like it.

I already wrote this on my the Lineup thingy on my main page, but I doubt people read that as often as they these blog posts, so here goes:

Reports of my death have been greatly exag - *shot*

Okay, but seriously, I am so sorry for this long wait. I said "end of March", and now it's mid-July and I haven't done anything. I wish I had a better excuse than "lack of motivation" or "anxiety" or "perfectionism", but I don't. It's just hard for me to get started on something when I can't get the first bit right, even if I have lots of good stuff in the middle.

Over the course of my long history on this site and others, I have noticed one question show up through the many forums. A lot of people asking one similar question that matches up with something that some people say that I do quiet well.

How to do fight scenes. How do you do it well and make them interesting.

I finished ‘listening’ to American Idiot today. It’s a pretty good album, I’m a sucker for concept albums and Rock Operas, so I was bound to like this one.

The dining room was eerily quiet. Belle had never seen it so lifeless. She stopped at the door, feeling as if she had trespassed on some sanctity that the castle had still kept hidden from her. She had thought she had come to know it so well, and yet...

But the candles were all lit, and at least an hour's worth of wax had dribbled to the stubs. That was part of what made it feel so sanctified, she thought. There was a solemnity, almost a cathedral quality to it.

"Please, sit."

“Ooo! I like this song. Maybe it could be made into a story? That sounds fun-“

*remembers that I can’t use copyrighted songs*

“...is this copyrighted? How do I know if something is copyrighted? Crap, I don’t know how to tell if something is copyrighted. F**k.”

Wouldn't normally ask this, but it's the first draft, so I realise I require some beta readers for a story that's ready for release but needs that extra insight for any issues it might have.

What is this story? It's this one: How to Catch a Pinkie Pie. The longest one in the ''How to Catch'' series. A little over 14k words. Five chapters. I actually was left with little choice but to split it into chapters. That's a rarity.

Or hooves. Whichever.

I expect a progress report by tomorrow afternoon.

Dismissed.

It's like I'm running a business when it comes to promotions. Like right here, right now. You totally need to check out the newest Bookplayer/Merc collab story, Christian Values.

It's about two characters in the 1920's going to church and struggling to survive the wave of downvotes and fedora-tipping comments the initial premise alone gets them.

thanks pencil for the enlightenment.
now how does add up with the water bill?

"Oh Tumbleweed!" you cry.

"You are obviously a dashing and talented gentleman, but please, tell the whole twelve people who actually read The Flash Sentry Papers, how do you write Flash Sentry?"

WELL LET ME TELL YOU.

Step 1: Drink drinks. But, like, classy fancy drinks. Or at least cheap drinks masquerading as fancy drinks. Box wine (red, of course), is a good start. As are halfway decent scotches or brandies.

Step 2: Watch this:
