Instead of me being a lazy potato, think of this last week as unscheduled breaks. Anyway, time to review some stories that I don't even remember reading!

Blog Number 29: Temporary Hiatus-Breaking Edition

I had intended to break the (unintentional) blog hiatus with something more retrospective, especially considering how many items I had listed for it. However, this is a fascinating project, and I would like to use what influence I have to bring it to your attention.

Blog Number 38: "On the Threshold" Edition

No, before you ask: this is not an April Fool's Day prank post. That holiday is a pain in the backside and I refuse to have anything to do with it.

In lighter news, we are all now three months into the new year, so time for a business-esque quarterly report! Lovely, eh?

No wait, where are you going!?

Blog Number 37: Polaris Edition

Good grief, I was not expecting that.

More below the break, but the sentence you just read constitutes the gist of it. Pretty much.

Blog Number 33: The "Ghosts of Past, Present, and Future" Edition

The 2017 National Pony Writing Month is now over. I did achieve 50k words, and even surpassed 60k, which averages at slightly more than 2k a day. That's a good effort, in spite of my own overambition, and one I'm rightly pleased with.

Blog Number 36: "Explaining the Radio Silence" Edition

On the to-do list at the moment is Ceffyl Dwr's Pinkie Pie Collaboration. It really is his project, since he's worked so hard to keep it going (and to keep us going, into the bargain).

So sadly, shamefully, I must report that, after a promising planning stage, I've stalled on both my chapters. Their current status is: planned but unwritten.

Blog Number 39: Manic-Depressive Edition

Well, it finally happened; I failed my own PerNoWriMo target of writing 60,000 words a month. That's five straight months of repeatedly meeting or surpassing 60,000 words: all over. I thought I'd nailed it. I thought I was going to cross the half-year mark and call it a good run.

Unfortunately, April tripped me up. And that wasn't the worst of it. Not by a long shot.

Work, work, work. Whew! At least that's out of the way and I've got free rein for the next few days. Just a lot of time to myself and feeling indebted to nothing and no one. It's the nice, quiet, peaceful times when I'm most comfortable.

Pardon my narcissism, but... Currently sitting at 3,571 views, it's recently surpassed the old record-holder (Cutie Mark Espionage Agency at 3,565*), meaning 2018 stands above my 2011-2012 output.

And can I just say, "Well, it's about time!"?

Featuring Impossible Number's "One Apple Short (In Which Twilight Learns Never To Underestimate An Apple Tree)"

The title pretty much sums it all up.

(Re-)read a bunch of Lyra and Bon Bon fics recently, decided to close up the year with another post.

Coming in From the Cold (Timaeus); A Perfectionist's Romance (〃); Luck of the Lyrish (〃); Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies (JaketheGinger); Something Like Feeling (shortskirtsandexplosions); Bon Bon Bon Bon Bon Bon (〃); The Nightmare Sonata (adcoon); Music is the BEST! (Impossible Numbers)

Blog Number 93: Backstage Pass Edition

Hmmm... change of plans.

Usually, I go all secretive and evasive when it comes to developing a project up to completion (assuming I do complete one), but the downside is it can leave me feeling disconnected from other people, making the audience seem "alien". Given I'm about as natural a performer as a library shut-in, it's kind of intimidating until I recognize a couple of familiar commenters.

Oh, it feels good to publish something again.

That's all for now! Impossible Numbers, out!

Day One...

So far, so good, if also so slow. Writing has already begun; it's just not particularly spectacular, so my notes for this blog post are going to be a bit sporadic compared with previously.

Character-wise, I'm largely ready enough to start writing. If anything, I'm still trying to get the setting down.

As for that writing:

Just checked. Embedded images seem to be working again.

Seriously, though, what was that?

Impossible Numbers stares at the blank page. The blank page stares back.

Impossible Numbers speaks: "OK, prosey prosey prosey. On three. One... two... three..."

Impossible Numbers stares at the blank page. The blank page stares back.

This isn't off to a good start, is it?

Blog Number 41: Indefinite Leave Edition

I need to take a hiatus. This is now officially the point when writing has ceased to be a pleasure for me, and has instead become a miserable experience.

Trust me: at no point did I want this to happen. It just did, and I have to take a timeout at the very least, for my own sake.

Blog Number 30: Unfinished Business Edition

Once Wednesday 1st November 2017 comes around, National Novel Writing Month will begin, as will its pony equivalent. I have of course already signed up for the latter. As for what I intend to accomplish on this, my fourth such event (fifth if you count Calming Moon's version earlier this year), I'm in two minds about it.

Hey folks, ROBCakeran is doing story commissions! It's first come, first served, so you've probably already missed your opportunity by the time I post this, but stay tuned, there will be more down the road!

The "Lore" category of new characters includes folks like Star Swirl and Clover the Clever, so the Historical tag will be assumed for all of these. (Yet does not apply to one...)
