IN WHICH I WRITE NEW STUFF
So, in an attempt to deflect attention away from the pathetic state of my own existence, I've decided to instead channel that into ruminating on the pathetic state of Sunset Shimmer's existence.

So this is a thing, now.

Check out the original fic here. It's pretty great. It's seriously making me want to go and read the Stoppard play, and then write several thousand words about it.

I'm only half-joking.

Anyway, yeah, I read a thing. Should I do more of these?

So if anyone were to look over my stories you might quickly notice that while I'm great with short stories and oneshots, I am horrid when it comes to long stories, (past two chapters it feels like). I have problem finding the ability to stay committed to writing and often jst put them off entirely. I have a GDoc page full of such stories.

It's coming up to that time of year again, isn't it? Time for festive cheer, to wear corny but comfy sweaters, to eat a crap ton of food. It's the time to receive but also give, except trying to wrap all those presents is a pain in the ass why even bother, y'know? You're just wasting paper, dat ain't very cheery.

Oh, right. It's blog time. Read on...

Hey everypony, just thought I'd drop a line and let you know that MLA: Perihelion has been published on schedule, and is now available to read!

...that "Grandmare" is a hugely layered pun? I mean, not only is there the usual horse wordplay, but the way it sounds just like the French "grand-mère"? As a language student, I thought that was the funniest moment out of all of them.

Also loved little details like how Sunburst is book-smart, but not skills-smart. That's how I can be in my business courses, and from conversations with other students, his problems are super relatable.

In other news, I entered the latest Writeoff, and have been... really slacking off on getting writing done. But today is different! I've written over 3,000 words already today, and read four short stories.

Story, characters, the world they exist in: all solid and polished extremely well. Great for both kids and adults (no seriously somehow it's appealing to both)! It really deserves the extremely high 95+% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Go watch it when you can because it's fucking amazing.

Just a quick head's up here, folks. I recently uploaded a brand new short story (at 1700 words, very short, especially for me!) entitled:

I wanted to throw all y'all a quick pointer to hazeyhooves' thoroughly excellent post on what the Mouse Guard roleplaying game can teach us about writing effective characters. I would consider it a must-read if you've got any interest in RPGs -- since it's a great analysis of how different RPG systems use their rules to focus the game on different aspects of

So the last two chappies have exploded the comments section. So much so that I don't even want to try hunting down all the individual comments that were talking about these. Sorry guys, I'm not going to try to interject myself into a comment chain.
