So now that Make Your Mark has reached its apparent conclusion, I have a vague outline for the path that Vlogs of an Ancient Insect may take. That said, I'm looking at concluding things at Roots of All Evil - Part 2 before going into an epilogue. Before I go too far with things, I thought I'd shake some things up with some community input on canon events.

Chime in after the break.

I've recently come to a realization.
In a lot of stories on here, authors tend to use salt as a substitute for alcohol in the world of ponies.
Appaloosa and similar Western themed towns often have bars called "The Salt Lick" or something similar.
So, here's my question: If ponies treat salt like booze, then would a pony visiting the ocean by like a human visiting a giant (free) brewery?

Alright, I don't want to make this another typical rant-type blog, so I'll try to keep it brief.

Yeah, so, I promised you all that the next chapter - which had already been delayed - to come out in January, and I think it's pretty obvious by now that I failed to deliver.

Well, jack shit is working for me on some of the sites I frequent and it's a major problem to me because I need to check on them. I have things listed on there that I need to see and communicate with with due to my situation of needing to lighten my load before I move back home, and I can't do any of that for whatever excuse these sites have.

Good idea, bad idea?

If I were to make a sequel to Days in the Mind of One that is Great and Powerful (once it is finished, of course), what do you think would work as a title?

A) Days in the Mind: Scion of One that is Great and Powerful

B) Days in the Mind: Beyond the Battle

C) Days in the Mind: Echoes from an Alternate Future

D) (Insert Title Here)

Remember! One vote per person!

I might finally have a way out of this dead end I’ve found myself stuck inside of for so long that I’ve considered it my personal purgatory.

I now have four weeks to get a job, or I'm evicted from my house So I'm afraid all my priorities have to be entirely focused on nothing but relentlessly pursuing a job.

So until further notice, GameJunkie, out. *ignore online status, computer likes to turn itself on while I'm away.*

Sorry I've been so absent as of late. My new project kinda absorbed me a bit Actually, for the past year ever since I decided to write a Warriors fanfiction I couldn't really think about much else as far as writing is concerned, even right now.

So, I just watched this week's Friendship Games short (and by 'just watched', I actually mean 'watched and wrote entire blog without saving it several effing hours ago'). Now, normally, whenever I screw the pooch on a blog like I did earlier today, I decide that it's not all that important to me if I actually put out the post. This is different, because I wanted to talk really quick about Lyra and Bon-Bon.

Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh!

Remember how several months back I wrote an update about chapter 10, and how I promised that after finishing chapter 10 I would write chapters 11 and 12 in a row, without writing chapters for my other stories in between as I usually do. Well... I think I will have to cancel that plan. Chapter 11 is still coming out next, but I'm gonna switch it up afterwards.

I just read a summary of the new SAO movie yet to release in the US.

I must say...

Pretty good job.

Nice action, a plot twist I did not see coming, and a nice ending.

So, yeah.

Ciao!

Wrote a long blog post only to press stupid refresh button by accident half-way and delete it all...

Ekhem...

So, it's been about 3 months since chapter 9 had came out, about time chapter 10 would come out, right? Well... yeah, according to the plan, it was supposed to come out about a month ago

Greetings everyone, late night today. Sorry for the absence and silence. Life has been so "fun". Dealing with family health issues, a new job, managing said new job, writing, and DnD is hard. However, I have gotten it down and also looked back at what I had set up for the story.

Yes, this is mostly an excuse to discuss a visual novel I recently played, but partly to dissect it as research. See, I've wanted to make my own visual novel for a while (probably for free or under $5, because it'd be more for fun than for a profit motive). I really like reading/playing visual novels, and I like experimenting with my writing, so writing my own visual novel seems like a natural progression of these two things. I have a few artist friends and a couple of people I could probably

Here's someone who's talking about new animated series that are slated for release this year, the video was posted last week so some of the time references might be a bit off. There are links in the youtube video description to where you can watch/ get info for them, so if any of the stuff he mentions catches your attention then head to then you know where to go and what to do.

Hi y'all^^ Over here is already January 1st, 2021, sooo to a lot of you I'm speaking from the future

Anyway, I just wanted to wish all of you a Happy New Year^^ Let as all hope that it will be better than the previous one for a change.

You ever have one of those days where you realize no one you know can or would just hang out with you?

I say that because, at work, I've met a few pretty cool people I'd love to just hang with. Unfortunately, I work the night shift, so our sleep and waking patterns never line up. Then there are people you really want to get to know, but you're sure would be put off by the invitation to just hang about.

A remark in this blogpost prompted me to start talking about TCB again, and my comment quickly turned into this gigantic mess. I'm not a writer, just one of your better reader and commenters, but jeez I am surprised I have this much I want to talk about with TCB. It got so big that I've made it a blogpost instead of a comment. If I wanted to do this properly I'd dig through old Ponychan threads (with broken links
