What a weekend... I’m back from my first Everfree Northwest, and certainly not my last. My wife and I had a great time attending panels, meeting people, participating in contests… but I’m getting ahead of myself. Let’s start with the shoutouts. I met a lot of people. In no particular order:

mrk
Oldenbrony
Level Dasher
Novel Idea
Titanium Dragon
Sun Sage
Hap
GrandMoffPony and his wife whose name escapes me
Georg (whose wife was busy sciencing Mount Rainer)
Cojero

*Munches on some green grass.*
Oh, hi, I was too busy eating to notice you came. Wanna have some dinner? It is on me.
*Rolls down in a pile of hay and spreads it over themselves.* "Literally."

So, winter was hard. I found myself a cave to live in through it all.

Wow... Ok guys, I've been looking over these entries and...

I don't know how I'm going to pick any winners.

All of these are really good in their own way. I feel like I might just scrap the "single-winner" concept of a contest and go with an "everypony wins" type ending here. Honestly, everypony worked hard, and I actually like those sorts of scenarios better, but I'll have to figure out what I'm going to do to make that meaningful at some point...

I've finally updated my story and posted a new chapter. I feel really good about it, and I hope I can get a slight momentum going in posting the next one.

Phew! Four Months without your own laptop is tough!

My laptop screen had broken randomly one day. Long story short, a loose hinge that was threatening to break the casing on the laptop actually damaged the cord connecting my screen to the motherboard. I handed the laptop to my friend's dad, who is a professional at fixing computers/internet stuffs.

"Oh Tumbleweed!" you cry.

"Given the scientific fact that you are BEST AT PONIES, please, tell us, how do you write a shipfic? I know we asked you once before but honestly shipping is what drives a significant chunk of this website. So tell us MORE ENLIGHTENED SECRETS, on this Hallmark-inspired holiday. Oh and can you make it about Rainbow Dash shipping 'cause she's super popular and therefore the subject of a good 40 percent of the shippings?"

WELL LET ME TELL YOU

we were at 96 likes when i finally went to bed, and i woke up to 103, now 104.

and a ton more views than a single chapter publish usually nets me. i'm excited for all the readers i've got, new and old.

i just submitted Family Tree to the submissions folder of "The Good HiE List" group, and I'm so so happy. i don't know how long these things take to get approved, but this story's already got so much attention without it, more than i ever thought it would.

Seems some of the pony projects I have going are a bit delayed, though I am and have worked on a few that will be interesting to see the reaction on.
Otherwise this week is rather quiet, back and working at a nice pace however, which is quite lovely.

A rather strange story is posted to my other accounts on Eka's portal and Furaffinity, though you will have to find me there to see them~.

All you have a dark, special and Filthy Friday now~.

G'day everypony, quick thing I want to say here :)

I have now posted 2 stories that are incomplete on FimFiction. I am a slow writer in terms of updating to begin with.

Today is the start of my creative writing troubles. My update times are slow to begin with, so whenever I have MULTIPLE stories released at around the same time, updates are going to be slow.

For weeks I had problems sleeping. I would reach for my phone and check this site, hoping to catch the moment IT happened. I had posted my story up for review and finally noticed the reviewer was reading it. My mind buzzed. Would it be good? Would it be garbage? I had to know. Somehow this would finally tell me the worth of my story. Definitive proof, as it were, what it was. My heart and brain latched onto this idea like a lifeline and would not let go.

In my editing career, I have met many authors who possessed...tenuous self-esteem about their work. My blunt critiquing style and frequent lack of tact have damaged many an author's self-esteem further. And I take full responsibility for that. I've often had a strained relationship with my own work as well. I recently did some editing for an IRL friend new to writing, and these topics came up multiple times in our discussion. I thought it a good thing to discuss.

I’m pretty sure that all of you have read more than one story in your life, and I’d bet that most of you noticed that stories can be told from a variety of perspectives. If you prefer a somewhat fancier term, such a perspective can be also called a point of view (POV for short). Types of POVs, their usage, and common pitfalls are what’s this miniguide going to be about. Just like in case of the guides previously published here (and archived in my blogs), this is meant primarily for beginners

i need to write

and then fix up something else i was writing bcuz it's gonna become a sequel to what i'm currently writing oh dear God in heaven save me i can't fucking do anything right

the dark surrounds me. dark eyes, they're watching. Waiting. tremors run up and down my spine, gruesome images filling my dreams. unaware, my arm hangs off the bed. pitch black darkness closes in.
and holds my hand.
the tremors stop.
the night is calm.
