Completing the TSJ chapter is going to take another day due to medical issues and PONY MOVIE TONIGHT!
But after the movie, I'll post a new (old) minific I've cleaned up.

Well howdy do. I'm here, I exist. Welp...
Soooo, quite a lot has happened from the last blog post to this one. Like in my army life.
Hey Everypony!
Hope everyone are fine! I have written a new story,
namely The Journal Of The Two Sisters. Although I know that I am writing another story, I had this story in my mind & I couldn't stop myself. I hope you'll all support me like you all have done.
Love you guys & don't forget to check my new story + a chapter update on Descendants!
Crystal Out! xxxx
A common piece of writing advice is that to become a better writer, one should read a lot. There is truth to this, of course, depending on what one reads. Welcome to my reading journal.
Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
For the first time in my history on the site I have released a second chapter of the story I'm working on within a week of the first.
Considering my prior track record of having a two-year lapse between chapters, I'm really rather proud of that.
I will say, I'm having some doubts as to the quality of what I'm writing, but I'm putting my heart into it and I'll try my very best to not let my own high expectations stop me from writing at all.
Two cons in two weeks is hard. I'd done this a couple of times previously, but not when I was 41 years old.
Mission of Mercy seems to have disappeared from the Popular Stories bar faster than anything else I've written.
Who was that masked short story?
HOUSTON, Tex. (Ambit Journal) - This election season has already put individuals in the United States in heated arguments, excitement, and other emotions.
Sometimes when emotions are high, people do very unnecessary and mean things to one another, even children.
I made a mistake today. It was a tiny mistake, but it feels like a humongous one.
Learning to put mistakes in perspective is something I'm still learning how to do, since finishing my course of electroconvulsive therapy.
This silly pony helps me in so many ways.
In my editing career, I have met many authors who possessed...tenuous self-esteem about their work. My blunt critiquing style and frequent lack of tact have damaged many an author's self-esteem further. And I take full responsibility for that. I've often had a strained relationship with my own work as well. I recently did some editing for an IRL friend new to writing, and these topics came up multiple times in our discussion. I thought it a good thing to discuss.
The Magician King by Lev Grossman
This is the sequel to The Magicians, which I read back in January. Spoilers for it follow.
After some discussions with authors I have decided I need to label Twilight's Secret Journal a Tragedy. So I've just replaced the Thriller tag with Tragedy.
The inclusion of this tag does not give away the ending. Let me explain.
This is the main reason why I decided to skip over the comics a few weeks ago. I like the idea of the first card blog of 2022 using one of the oldest in-universe documents we have for source material. Let’s see what the diarchs thought of their first days on the throne.
WHO DESIGNED THIS PLACE???
Everywhere I look, it's trash, trash, trash! And only about one out of every ten pieces of trash is useful to me! See this pencil? I turned it into a fence post! This toy car? It lives in my pistol's scope! I SHOT A BUG, IT TURNED TO GOO, AND NOW ITS GOO-BLOOD LIVES IN MY TWELVE-STORY MANSION.
The kind and generous hawthornbunny went to the trouble of word-clouding my stories. This has led me to a most unusual discovery.
First off, here's the word cloud for all of my stories together:
I'm back.
I've just updated Broken Symmetry, and I'll be doing more writing today and tomorrow.
Twiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiight...
My story review system is still being carefully crafted. In the interim, I need to decide how to split myself in twain. That's where you come in.
This is my best attempt at Hasbro thing. (Yes, they're copper.)
I need your help to decide where I should put my stories if they get naughty!
I'm working on several stories right now and none of them are pulling all my attention. I don't know how soon I'll be able to post something new.
The front burner consists of a TSJ update and several experiments.
May be related. May be, maybe.
