I think I can risk it.

In between the coats in the closet
She held on to that heart shaped locket
Staring at a family flawless
But it ain't a pretty picture tonight
Mom and daddy just won't stop it
Fightin' at the drop of the faucet
Cuts through the walls catastrophic
She's caught in the crossfire
Puts her hands over her ears
Starts talking through the tears
She's saying, she's praying.
I wish words were like little toy guns
No sting, no hurt no one, just a bang bang
Ever have one of those weeks? Yeah, I'm having one of those weeks.
One of those weeks where it feels like life's just sorta... plowed over you? You're blinking in the aftermath going what the hay just happened? Why am I starting this blog with so many questions? I don't know, can you tell me?
So, really, the Block has been slapping me around for the better part of a week now. I've gotten about a page worth of words out in the last five days, and those are spread over three or four fics. So...like...not a lot done. I'm trying to kick it, and last night it occurred to me to try a different creative outlet and I whipped out my sketchbook.
Hey folks! I’m just letting you know that I haven’t forgotten about the Afterword for The Iron Horse, or the FAQ that will come with it. Work and my dissatisfaction with the first draft of the Afterword slowed me down, but I’m about ready to launch it. In the meantime, if you have a question about The Iron Horse that you haven’t asked yet, you can check the original post about it
We finally got toilet paper today, we were almost out and the supermarket kept on running out. For those of you stuck at home, here's a short little something to peruse at your leisure.
While I was putting up a new story for publication, I got distracted (as is wont, oh hey, my drinks empty brb) by the series tag. As most of you probably already know, when you post a story, you have to choose a series tag of which series that piece is fanfiction. Conveniently, when typing in the proper tags, it also shows the number of times that tag has been used.
Now I can suck dick at writing in a fresh year!
Meeester I hope you're proud of me
You're the only reason I suck dick at life, so that one day I can see you in real life
senpaiiiiiii Meeester
Friends, delegates, fellow countrymen, and international associates!
I've been acting as a pre-reader for Dinode's new story, The Midnight Filly, and also being a sounding board for ideas regarding the series he wishes to start with it. I've unfortunately been unable to help as much as I'd like, with my 2017-2018 schedule being all kinds of Gonzo Bananas, but I do think he's got great ideas, a characterful style, and a good grasp of the English language!
Summer is upon us, and you know what that means. Free from the shackles of the educational institution, bored and attention-starved teenagers crawl onto the net in droves to socialize 24/7 and (often) get stirred up in all kinds of shit. Fimfic, sadly, doesn't have the good fortune to be exempt from it. I don't think we can complain too much, though. It does make for a lot of good material. Which is, of course, always nice.
So, little known fact, (or widely known if you pay attention to how I gush about Bronypalooza every year in my Bronycon retrospectives) but I love the music this fandom produces. So much so that I've been collecting a playlist of it for years. Since 2011 I've been, across an MP3 player, three smart phones, four laptops, and many, *many* new OS installations on a single desktop tower, been keeping a set of MP3s of my favorite fandom music, starting all the way back with the absolute classic
Yup, that's right! A little bonus prologue chapter I had made a while back when I needed a break from writing the chapters for part 6. I hope you enjoy it, and hope it helps start to tie everything together.
An Epilogue will be posted next week to finish off the story.
...No, I'm not opening commissions. This is for someone else. Lucky Seven (who also has regular commissions open) and kairipancakes (who does art commissions) are moving, and if you donate just over $9 to Seven's Kofi, he'll write you a story.

Hey, guys!
A quick TL;DR for those that haven't seen Forgotten Friendship: a new Compati chapter is out! Go read it!
For those that have seen Forgotten Friendship (or those that don't mind a few light spoilers), below the break are a few things I felt like touching on just because.
Yeah this one was a matter of time and I've been avoiding it for way too long. I do need a way to communicate with my Patreons in expedient manner, and PMs simply don't cut it.
Words cannot describe how exhausted I am. This has easily been the most brutal NaNoWriMo I’ve ever done. Ironically, it hasn’t been because of my word count goals.
It’s been everything else.
But, it is the end of National Novel Writing Month, right? So we should probably talk word counts.
