H-hey, folks. How was your bookend to 2015? Set many field of grass on fire? Play any scary fan-games? Read that new Stephen King novel?
O-oh, uhm...oh. You've all been...waiting for me to...work on Fullmetal...haven't you?
Please don't send Risu's ghost on me! I have reasons!

These two snowflakes are the focus of my writing for the next week or so as I finish Dazzling Sunset's 7th chapter. Right now, I am anticipating a word count somewhere near 4-5K, maybe longer.

Story time! A long, long time ago when I first wrote Knight of Order, there were two artist I always wanted to commission to make some art for the story. I was 16 at the time with no disposable income. 10 years later they’re still doing wonderful Pokemon art, and although they are not actively taking commissions right now (which I’ll totally shoot my shot once they do), I was able to email them and ask for permission to use their existing work and got the ok.
I know what you’re thinking, Jimmy (do you mind if I call you "Jimmy"?). “cleverpun, this subject has been covered a hundred times before, by authors who are way better at writing than you. What could you possibly tell me that I don’t already know?”
To that I say: this topic is so important, that it is worth having as many perspectives as possible. Hopefully this longer-than-average blog post either provides some new insight into the topic, or at least reinforces its import.

This is the last one for a while, as I need to focus on writing the rest of the story now. For the last two weeks I've deviated towards making other stuff for A Kindled Beginning and I've waylaid it enough. Even though I reached an important conclusion to Chrys' most pressing issue with Twilight, her adventure continues. I mean, she's only gone to school for the total of two days. What a start to a story though. BIG adventures ahead for my little girl. For a young girl who feels very
So today the episode just happened and fortunately I was awake to see it from start to finish. So I wanna get my quick thoughts about the episode in right away.
While clearing out my “Read It Now” bookshelf of stories which were more than a month old, I ended up noticing a number of stories that I had put off reading that had what seemed to be intriguing premises and got sucked into reading them instead of cleaning out my bookshelf.
Oh, well.
The original art for the convention kills it every year. Honestly, for that quality, and for this fandom, the price these displays fetched at the charity auction isn't surprising…
The biweekly trickle has finally filled the figurative reservoir enough for another Tell Your Tale blog. Let’s see what I can make of the ongoing shenanigans. I get the feeling it won’t be quite as heartfelt as last week.
