Only one more year until I officially hit Over The Hill, and it's no longer socially acceptable to celebrate birthdays as an affirmation of my advancement rather than a marker of my slow decline. So: Hurrah! I'm not old yet! [1] I've got another full year to make an original fiction sale before I stop being A Potential Up-And-Coming Author and start being That Old Guy Who's Still Trying To Break Into The Market! OH GODS PANIC

In the final week of 2017, I was privileged to watch 2 sci-fi films a day apart. The first was Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and the other was Valerian: City of a Thousand Planets.

"It was the end of history."
"It was the year everything changed."

*See everyone's lives going to hell.*
Welp.
*Sits at table and grabs a drink.*

I am surrounded by fire, like there's a major fire right next to our town, and more major fires semi close to us in every direction. The smoke is thick as fog, you can always smell it. Street lights at night aluminate it and it's impossible to see anything in the horizon. We have these nice, big hills about 4-6 miles away from the town, can't see em.

I tried doing a thing for a prompt collab. Here's the full version, because I had enough brain worms to type out random nonsense when I should be doing other things. Please enjoy it, and remember that one like means one child will be eaten, as per my bio.

... but when I do, it's not-a-contest. Stay tuned because after over a year of writing colourful humans and Wallflower Blush, I guess it's time to reject humanity and return to horse.

Happy Saturday, everyone!

If you haven’t heard, Obselescence is stepping down as a FIMFiction moderator, so feel free to go over there and thank him for his time spent here.

I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.

This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.

And from the ashes she rose, the filly who was thought dead, and her eyes leaked the soot that were her remains. "Cozy Glow is real" she said, over and over again. And it was the last thing they ever heard.....

Ok ok I thought I had posted this earlier but I guess the website ate it up or something and it wasn't actually posted. I tried writing it in my own words, but I guess now that's gone I'm just going to copy and paste it straight from the blog post I learned from.
