Instead of anything interesting, we are dragged through Theresa’s time at college. Boston College, to be exact. This is in alignment with the author’s Christian beliefs, Boston College being a Jesuit institution. We are then treated to a whole page’s worth of infodump about BC which Boutin seems to have gleaned from the introductory paragraph on the college’s wikipedia page. There is no reason for us to know any of this, unless the story concerns exactly the number of how many undergrads there

So, haven't seen much from me for a bit, and there's a reason for that:

I've been rewriting and reworking the prologue chapter for Future Tactics - The War Games! The original Prologue was around 12 500 words, but considering how much I desperately needed to rewrite it, to bring it up to my current standards, it's coming along well! About 3000 words into the rewrite, and it should help fix some of my glaring issues that still come up from the original.

Now, on to other things:

Okay. Whew! The story’s back on track. No more interviews or BBC montages to fill in exposition. Here’s a tip for anyone who decides to write a story with a first person narrative: the entire story happens from the perspective of the narrating character. This means that there’s no room for exposition to fill in any blanks that the character might not know about. Theresa even says at the beginning of the story that she doesn’t know how some things happened because she wasn’t there, even though

To be honest, one of my favorite things is the weapons, to the ones in video games, to the ones in real life, the oversized swords that no one could wield, to the small daggers that blur in the wind, so I made this blog to talk about weapons, if it's just some you like, or ones your characters use, so all you weapon fanatics let's start off the weapons with a some dagger.

Note: collateral to the story discussed here, I was drawn into some of the online offerings of historian Ada Palmer. Consider this also a recommendation of her stuff, staring with her series on what led to Machiavelli writing The Prince and in the process inventing modern political science and consequentialist ethics, her "Sketches of a History of Historical Skepticism," and her

Well season six is finally over and that means watching/reviewing the last half. I had planned on holding off until next week cuz I'm a sissy baby coward have stuff to do the next few days, but work has gotten me riled up and gave me a crazy idea for late night shenanigans to both relax and get this thing over with. I'm loaded down with red wine and a bottle of Guinness actually no that's for a special occasion to marathon my way through this silly horse show, see how many

You ever have an idea that's loads of fun in your head but for some reason it's just not as much fun trying to write it out?

That's, regrettably, the problem I'm having with Big Bad Mac right about now. For whatever reason I'm just having trouble finding the fun with writing this story despite it having so much stuff that I usually enjoy.

Should be starting in about an hour, as the title says.
I already have my booze to enjoy, and am ready to answer any questions you might have. I'll be with the guys from The Good HiE list, including two guys apparently named Mike. I think.
I'm so confused.

Anyway, go here: http://www.twitch.tv/mikesnipe

AAAAAAND it's live.

I think, on a day like today, it's important to remember a single word: sacrifice.

Today is a day that should be celebrated for many reasons, but the most important is that it's an opportunity to give thanks for the freedoms we have, which was bought and paid for with the blood of patriots.

Sorry I've been gone so long!

My computer room was occupied by my brother while he found a house and I need privacy when writing pony stuff :D

He was successful in his hunt and has moved in so I hope to write more soon.

Hope you guys have been having fun.

Like I said more to come!

More Bad Therapy!

More Stories!

More ponies being hypnotized!

More random product placement for Taco Bell!!!!!!!

A while ago, I posted a blog covering one of my unpublished stories; the ideas that spawned it, aspects of the writing process that did not work, and why I ultimately chose not to finish it.

Today, I hope to do the same with a different story. Each story presents its own challenges and eccentricities. Today’s story is different enough that I hope it will teach different lessons from the previous one.

But the caller ID sign says 'No Caller ID'. You ignore it. The call comes again a few minutes later, so you ignore it. Another few minutes later, 'No Caller ID' calls again, you get annoyed, but you ignore it. Again, it calls, but this time, you answer it.

You would probably greet in a pretty annoyed tone.

A soft voice talks. "Oh? I don't want an attitude like that around Equestria."

You immediately recognize the voice.

It was Princess Celestia.

As you may well not know, my Grandparents are getting divorced. My Grandfather, whom, is leaving our household for another woman. His old GF back in highschool after finding her again. Almost leaving us with nothing until a court date gave us a fixed income and the ability to do things that we couldn't do in the months prior. My grandmother, Sister, Dog and I all live in a moderatly sized home in one of the high selling areas in North-East Dallas. Anyways Enough of the bad news...

is everyone has a bad day around the world? mine was bad of all the things that could happen the worst today was walking to work then home in temperatures of -2 with wind shield at -24 and I was walking into the wind the whole time with a light jacket and everything my whole body was basically numb once I got home (My hands had just started to hurt once I walked inside)

Heya readers! Welcome to part 2 of my ‘I messed up and failed to meet my blog responsibilities in March and will continue to mess up next month’ blog series which is actually part 1 of a sub-series! Yesterday I pinned most my troubles on allergies, which is still true from a writing perspective. I’m not going to bother to link yesterday’s blog. You should all know to get to it…

It's time for another LTUE (Life, The Universe, and Everything) report! And this time, not in place of Monday's Being a Better Writer post!

Why, you may ask? Okay, and you may be asking "What's LTUE?" as well. So, in reverse order then.

Over the last month, my health has gone worse. It started with the usual dizzyness I’ve had all my life reoccurringly. And now I can barely leave my bed without having to hold onto something to keep from fainting.
I still visit school though. The past weeks I’ve had one test after the other, so I didn’t have time to visit a doctor. Now my doc is on holidays, and the one representing doc (not sure if this is correctly translated) has deported me via call.

Hey, friends.... Extremely busy with 3 jobs. Not able to get on this very often. I don't know how I am going to finish the rest of the story. It was just something my brother and I just do. Except for the ponies added. That goes for all my stories. If you have any suggestions or thoughts or you want to help me with writing, DM me and we'll talk. Thanks for looking.😐😳😏
