If I was on a train or public transportation, I wouldn't mind so much.

But when you're driving, it takes a lot more out of you and you can't do much more than just focus on the road or listen to music/podcasts or think.

I like to think. It's nice to have some quiet time.

However, I'm tired when I get home, and after doing the daily household stuff and preparing for tomorrow, I don't have a lot of time or energy for anything else.

I can't wait to move.

Look at these buds. Wild times we're living in, huh? Make sure to wash those hands, you two!

Having something positive and fun to look forward to can be helpful. Has been for me, at least. Let's talk self-care, writing updates, and speaking of fun positivity, I'm super excited to give you a 5-page preview with a new illustration (read to see it)!

So, recently I've been redoing some of my old maps for "The Song of the Spheres," and between them and my worldbuilding notes I've run into a bit of a problem: a lot of them don't make sense.

- Big honkin' gaps in borders with traditional enemies? I'm sure nothing bad ever happened with that!
- My poor, smooth, Euro-centric brain decided to go with semi-feudalism for Homestria's history instead of what it should be (psuedo-Confucism with "Harmony" instead of "The Mandate of Heaven").

Crap, I almost forgot about Mandatory Megadeth this week! I was just sitting down to proof-read when I realised it was Thursday. Speaking of writing, I’m actually ahead of the game right now; I’m deep into the main plot of MLP EG Forever, and like the first half, it’s gotten quite dark--if not more so--and it’s been a little more interesting to write lately.

Instead of working on a story, I instead spent all evening reviewing stories. I’m not sure if that counts as procrastination or sideways efficiency. But hey, I managed both a set of Read It Now Reviews and a set of Read It Later reviews this week!

Fans love Celestia and Luna, despite, or perhaps even because of, how little they actually get to do in the show. It’s been a running joke in the fandom for eight years now how not only do the Princess never do anything helpful in the thick of action, but that they are almost invariably bested easily despite their powers.

It's here! Do you enjoy sweet romance? Spy movies? Do you think holiday stories could use more demonic goat creatures? Well, then, submitted for your approval this Christmas/Hearth's Warming, it's...

So you know how I had said I wouldn't be writing a sequel to "Grief is the Price We Pay?"

Well, I'd argue that is still the case, because in terms of continuity this is, technically, not a sequel.

We have three new synopses, for the last three episodes of the first half of Season 9! And I'm in a completely hyped frenzy about all three of them!
They hint at things I have long hoped to see, things that imply a looming tragedy and at things that will prepare the future.
I put my thoughts about them under the automated page break to avoid spoilers.

Well to be more accurate, this is someone breaking down the game of a series and explaining why the game of the show is so bad while giving comparisons, many of which are real world (sort of), and giving a pretty detailed explanation of it all.

I would recommend this video for anyone plays MMOs, has played MMOs, is considering playing an MMO, is planning/working on a MMO.
