Today (via Zoom meeting) I met Kyle Rideout, Thorax's voice actor, during his VIP appearance at Vanhoover Pony Con in Canada. Moreover, because a friend of mine is on staff there, he was able to print a copy of my book and get Kyle to sign it. I'll update this blog with a photo once my friend has sent one to me. His name is Cloudz, though he has no distinct profile anywhere I can link.

Are you ready?

I always bring a special shirt with me to conventions: the purple shirt with the black cuffs, the shoulder tabs, and the roll-up sleeves. Some might call it a cosplay – it is the shirt that my OC wears, after all – but to me, it's something even more special. It's a way for me to slip into someone that I choose to be, someone who's been a big part of who I am for over a decade, someone who is confident and competent and just wants to spend a weekend making people happy, and somepony who,

So... Jinxy (my brother) came over Wednesday night and he wound up taking Fiance and I to Baker's Square for dinner... T'was good times! Then we ran back up to my parents' house so he could get some last minute stuff, and so I could try to find some formal wear to potentially go to the Grand Galloping Gala tomorrow night... Wound up finding a few things that could work... My only hope is that the shoes I brought will be acceptable... I mean... I have a pair with me that I

The post-con update will need to wait until later... but needless to say, I had an AMAZING time... Many thanks to Zoljen for providing sleeping space, and also acquiring a few goodies for me while also getting things for Sylvian to torment him with hints of until he gets the package... It was also awesome meeting Nighty, Calm, Kestrel and Changeling32... All awesome peeps! And now I'm super stoked for June to come around because Calm said he'd probably come to MLP-MSP!

This past week has been a blur. Did I really just meet the voice of Limestone Pie last weekend? Did I really stumble through my words with her like an idiot? That's a yes on both. And I don't even know if that was the best part of the weekend.

Well Kiddos, I'm confirmed to be at Whinny City Ponycon in April (the venue is like 20 minutes from where I grew up and where my parents still live- I used to go to the My Little Pony Fair there). Even better, I'll be hosting a panel "Writing Pony Fanfiction: The Basics"!

If any of my dear internet followers are headed there, I'd love to meet you in person; alternatively, let me know if you have writing experience and would like to join me as a cohost of the panel!

Hello everyone! Just letting you know that my pal and illustrator Colby "Greenfinger" Green is going to be at this weekend's Crystal Mountain Pony Con!

Friday:
Woke up to a call from Mom, talked to her for a bit... She was mostly making sure that we were all okay and what had we gotten for dinner the night before... And then that shower happened. XD Because, despite my stated intentions as the end of my last blog, I did not, in fact, shower Thursday night... My motivation ran out... But I did take that very long shower Friday morning before donning my outfit for the day.
