Lessons Learned (Fallen Knight) · 11:34am Jun 5th, 2022

At times you find yourself looking back.

In my case, I took my time and looked back at my past work. My second big project was Fallen Knight, as Night Wonder did come first, but I had too many issues with it. Looking back on it, I'm still really happy with it, buuuut, I also cringe at some of my choices. :rainbowlaugh:

Being a Better Writer: The Thought Process · 7:23pm Dec 3rd, 2015

So, today's topic actually came to me only yesterday morning whilst on my flight home. I was at 30,000 feet (or whatever cruising altitude was for that flight) and suitably armed, as is my custom, with every type of boredom-defense I can fit in my backpack that will work on an airplane. At the moment, my tool of choice was two-fold: My Zune (yes, I have a Zune, and it has endured eight years and far, far more punishment than any other MP3 player my immediate family has tried), and my kindle.

Hiddenworlds: Portals to Adventure pts. 1 and 2. · 4:58am Jan 10th, 2016

These are a bit different than the previous Hidden Worlds image. These are rough, sketchy, energetic, and less refined. They were done on very small pieces of paper (specifically, in my small sketchbook that I usually carry with me), and were colored quickly in photoshop. So, these are more like sketches than fully hammered out illustrations.

They're meant to evoke the roughness and limitations seen in the style of old adventure games and dungeon crawlers.

I'm Back! · 4:02am Mar 30th, 2017

Yeah, after a disastrous, well, couple of months, I'm back and writing (and videomaking, yay), having given my muse a good swift kicking.

This weekend is gonna see several updates, both here and over on my fanfiction: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/6707624/

Afterwards, I'm gonna commit to returning to a once a week upload of something, and will seriously push to stick to that alongside my once a week minimum video upload.

A Storytelling Analysis of The Cutie Re-Mark: Story Tangents · 10:46am Dec 14th, 2015

The season five finale was great fun! It also had some interesting storytelling techniques we can learn from both in how intriguing they were, as well as some shortcomings it had. Obviously:

Something I've Been Thinking About Problems With Nostalgia · 7:45pm Apr 4th, 2020

You know, as hard as it might be to believe, franchise-based nostalgia didn't just begin with our generation.
When I was little, my family didn't have Sky or Digital or anything so it was primarily local channels for us.
At the time, due to 2-D Animation becoming mainstream, Stop-Motion animation was kind of phasing out. It was still kept on by some studios but most of the time it was just considered too slow and expensive to remain profitable.

Handling Points of View with Grace · 6:15am Oct 4th, 2020

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

Boots The Cat · 1:48am Dec 30th, 2016

My mom and I found a little stray cay with white sock markings on its feet that we have been feeding table scraps. It is a grey cat with dark grey tiger stripes, a white underbelly, and white sock like markings on its feet. We've decided to call it Boots for this reason.

We found two local resources that provide free cat food; The Salvation Army and The Humane Society. So my mom and I are going to swing by so we can pick up some bags of catfood to feed the stray with.

I Am Working On Conquering My Fears · 2:54pm Jan 26th, 2017

As many people know I have social anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, PTSD, OCD and other emotional/ physical disorders as the result of genetics but also growing up in a highly abusive household, being abused at school, and also being abused in the workplace.

I've been trying to think of ways to conquer my fears of leaving the house but I haven't thought of any solid plans.

A Miracle · 7:33pm Oct 2nd, 2016

My mom and I somehow were able to find the $400.00 we needed to pay the rent for the month of October so we won't be homeless.

A long time friend who saw my mom's post on her Facebook wall about the hard times we have been going through sent her the exact amount we need to cover the rest of the rent.

People Keep Rage Quitting The Site · 10:57pm Mar 8th, 2017

And the majority of them are rage quitting because they aren't 'horse famous'. <_<

Who cares whether you are horse famous or not? Why not just write for fun? Or for practice? Or both? :I

I really don't get this mentality. But there you have it. By 2018 no one will be left on the site because they aren't horse famous yet.

I will be the only person left along with a goldfish and a cockroach because, you know, nothing can destroy those things. :I

Dream Commercials · 8:05pm Apr 25th, 2017

When I dream, sometimes my dreams have a commercial. And I dont mean a replay of a familiar advertisement on TV or something. My brain makes up its own commercials. For example, last night I was having this dream about being on a reality television show and the dream literally paused. Then a weird commercial about a product called Cosmic Malt Flakes played and then my dream went back to finishing up the plot about me being on a reality television show.
