You Know You're Old When... · 2:58am Jan 16th, 2016

Your idea of an awesome Friday night is to stay at home, take two Aleve, and have a heating pad on your back.

I need a Granny Smith emoticon. :applejackunsure:

Being a Better Writer: Working in Important Little Details · 5:09pm Nov 28th, 2016

Right, so a quick one today. I’m actually typing this out at 1 AM. Why? Well, because remember a few weeks back when I had a dentist appointment that shoved Being a Better Writer back a few days? Well, I’ve got another one in ten hours (shudder). Which, given my enjoyment of dentists … You saw the “shudder” back there, didn’t you?

Being a Better Writer: The Process of Editing · 9:38pm Mar 21st, 2016

Editing is a curious thing. Almost everyone agrees that it’s something a written work needs to have. But by the same token, it’s one thing that I’ve noticed that, in my time as an author, many people don’t actually agree upon or know much about what it entails. The most accurate consensus I could assemble from what I’ve read and heard from casual writers (not dedicated authors) or the average layperson is that editing is about making a written work better. It’s about fixing the

Hello! · 3:39am Jun 18th, 2015

(I made this blog for the cover of my page but i thought this would be very fitting for a "get to know me" kinda thing)
Welcome to this page.........
You probably have no idea who i am and why this idiot just followed you.
I come here for stories. Mainly SoarinDash stories. I attempted to write a story once and it ended in complete failure.

BaBW: Sympathetic Villains Follow-Up · 8:11pm Jan 24th, 2018

Well readers, I made a mistake. Not a massive one, but a mistake nonetheless. Kind of a relieving one, too, since I'd been waiting for this shoe to drop for a while now (I had to screw up with one of these posts eventually). But I did screw up.

A Much Needed Update · 7:49am Mar 8th, 2018

I know I haven't really done anything in several months, and with my new living arrangements it makes it rather difficult to write at night... or any other time after seven in the afternoon. I'm aware that it is also the third month into the new year; which if I was following my original intention that means that I should be doing a story a month (one-shots mostly) or making some headway on the multi-chapter front, both of which haven't seen anything.

I just don't get it · 2:51am Jan 6th, 2016

I'm makin' out with my lady and she's into it.

I'm a goofball so I have a crazy thing come to mind.

I just said 'I want you to come in me', and she burst out laughing saying that was the funniest thing she's ever heard.

Why, when she says it, it's cool. But when I said it, it's funny.

Equal rights!

Being a Better Writer: Likable Unlikable Characters · 9:56pm Feb 22nd, 2016

Welcome back to another Being a Better Writer post! I've got a lot to do today (tax season) so I'm diving right into this one as quickly as possible. Today's topic comes from the request post I made several months ago (which I've been slowly digging through ever since), but it's a topic that I've heard brought up before in writing panels as well as in other places. And it's a good question, one every author will either probably consider or run afoul of in the course of their

Mike: No, fuck you, I'm not dead. Everyone assumed that I'd suddenly be shitting out chapters when I said I'd write for hat. Well, Spoilers! I'm not a fast writer. I do't just magically get an idea, put it on paper and publish it as a chapter. I also do other things. I work a full time job now, I do editing for other stories, I play the fuck out of rocket league (not fallout 4 anymore. I beat the 4 story lines and am too lazy for side quest.) I also sit and talk to a bunch of
