Just last week, we had a Dodge Journey get dragged into our shop.

And I do mean dragged; the customer wasn’t gonna shell out cash for a tow truck when they had a pickup and a tow strap.

Not that I can claim to be any different when it comes to saving a buck.

Bronycon was straight-up one of the best weekends of my life.

I'd love to gush about it. And I will! But I've been home for less than 24 waking hours. And in that time, I have:

• Called 911
• Threw out a friend's back (not related to the above)
• Had my rent raised
• Discovered a black mold infestation
• Cleared out some lingering emotional baggage from my two-year-old divorce
• Comforted a sobbing friend, twice (not related to the above)

So i talked a little bit on Sunday about some PC problems I've been having and I wanted to update you all on how that's going.

12,370 words! 9:00 EST probably!

Checking this site for story updates and seeing, out of the blue, previously non-extremist authors calling for political violence on their blogs. Oh wait, that's the opposite of fun. Apparently violent rhetoric is okay if it's lightly veiled in metaphor. I have half a mind to write a metaphorical tale insinuating violence against the people who are doing this to test if it works both ways... but that would require the dishonesty of pretending I promote violence. It so happens that morality is

So, in my last blogs I talked about recovering from the hardest burnout I've ever gone through, a debt accrued over seven years. I realized most of that really was the drive to monetize my work. It shaped everything I had been thinking about my writing for years, now, in subtle and unsubtle ways. Becoming financially stable through other means let me massage all those knots and work something out.

So, I released a new short story! This one is called The Long Death and is a Nightmare Moon focused story. I made this short little story as a little bit of an apology. As the story I mentioned at the end of my last blog post is taking a bit longer than expected to be finished. So, I hope you enjoy this story while I try and finish up the other bigger story I mentioned. Also I've begun writing When Gems Break chapter 4, so that should be coming out soon. And finally my schedule I

Hey, everybrony, pegasus-sister, and cool creature in between! I've got me some explaining to do and it's better that I warn you about how things are gonna work now than later.

Firstly, some context:

Friendship is Worth It is an alt-universe series that chronicles the tales of Equestria GIrls' Humane 7 as they face new situations that will test them and the friendship that binds them together like never before.

Regarding the Alt-Universe Tag:

Remember how Statue of Liberty in Manehattan looked back in Cutie Mark Chronicles?

Well, now for some reason it looks like this:

I'm guessing she smiles because she knows what Lyra and Bon Bon did there when Berry Punch took Manehattan two years ago...

Okay, what could possible be worse than last time's scandalous image of Rarity kneeling before her King? Well, prepare yourselves for a shock, ponies, 'cause here it comes, like a bad tabloid with touched-upped photos, only they AREN'T touched up -

Well, Inkscape decided to bork on me a couple of times during the exporting process (and always on the faces, too), but I managed to get the cover art done, and the Quorum Sensing sequel I've been sitting on for Thor knows how long is now up for submission.

A couple of questions that might pop up:

What about Scootaloo's Second Skin?

So, wrote a bit of rants in my first notebook. Gonna transcribe some. (2 blog posts atleast?)

Now now. I don't really care for presentation exactly, but whatev. It's years too early for that. I just spent too much time thinking of things about the prelude era to my personal fanfic verse-thing. Gods. Too much reading and watching and not writing and drawing does that. Cause I need to daydream or day-sketch stuff when my dream time is shortened. Because I enjoy it. And enjoyment is my hobby.

Ahem. So. Upon further investigation, it is possible that the primary source for the "AI voices" brouhaha may, in fact, have been full of crap. Or at the very least, does not work at Hasbro.

I still won't put it past them to pull this kind of crap in the future, but it doesn't appear to be as dire in the present as it could be. Lukewarm comfort at best, but I'll take it.

This video I made not only pays tribute to the 100th episode "Slice Of Life", but also to a good friend of mine who passed away this year.

(sings) And when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart!

WARNING: The song I chose for this video is VERY heavily sentimentalized, so for those of you who are sensitive to heavy sentimentality, please refrain from watching if you wish.

A nice episode. Not terribly interesting, (trio CMC episodes are nothing new at this point. This developing into a single-character episode mid-point was interesting, but the plot's kind of in different directions and if the story focused on either helping Bulk or helping Tender it would be a bit more orderly I feel)) but enjoyable nonetheless. The type that's precious and entertaining. Well, here be my thoughts;
