Christmas, College, work, other problems caused by our move… phew. The last months were something. Anyways, with the Christmas rush over and my last exam of the semester written I’ve finally reached Spring Break until April (or I have a week ago). I’m not the type of person to go off and party, I just want to relax for the next weeks. And to make sure that I don't spend the time lying around literally doing nothing, I want to set myself some goals. Over the last year or so quite a few things

I have a feeling that Amity is going to cut her parents out of her life. Edric and Emira would follow suit. The reason why I made this assumption is because cutting off toxic family members happens in real life. It is necessary that a heavy issue like this should be shown onscreen to let the viewers know that there are people in the family who are detrimental to one's mental health, unworthy of being part of one's life.

I spent this week on a residential course on Popular Science Writing, which has left me bubbling with enthusiasm for putting together my own book proposal. I cycled into town this morning to visit the science section of my local bookstore and get some reference material. While there, I also decided to stop off at my college just to see if I had any mail—only to find the entire street had been closed off and was swarming with security trying to hold back a dense crowd, holding their phones high

I have spent most of the day working on files for Bubble's sticker business, while storms have popped in and out of the area and I tried to get some writing done. Then in the middle of it, I discovered blood when cleaning up after the dogs, which then led to the systematic examination of multiple buttholes. Which, in turn, led to the discovery of blood on Lucy's backend and sent me into straight panic mode. You don't mess around when dealing with a possible internal injury with a barely 3lbs

In these tumultuous times, we could all use a serene moment. Argodaemon provides:

There's a lot of important discussion going on on and off the site right now. Just remember to take a second to decompress now and then. And remember to enjoy the silliness where you find it.

Plumsweet's a case of 'what I planned for the character' and 'what the character planned for themselves' became two very different entities.

Sorry, folks. I have everything in the pipe to finish up Twilight's Thrones and keep going with Hunting Season, as well as continue offshoots like Nurse Appreciation Every Day. However, I've been embarrassed for a long time about how clunky Hunting Season Ch1 is. So I've gone back and I'm rewriting it from Twilight's point of view. I've not only kept up with my usual word count but actually gone a bit long, so there's going to be a new Ch1 and Ch2, moving the current Ch2 to Ch3. I've also

I've been re-watching Season 6 to prepare for and ease into Season 7, and I just finished watching “Every Little Thing She Does.” On the first watch, it rubbed me the wrong way even though parts of it made me laugh. I thought it made Starlight seem like a borderline sociopath. On the second viewing, that issue didn't seem as pronounced. True, Starlight acted purely out of selfishness, but she probably intended to lift the concoction of mind spells as soon as she got the all the activities “out

Here's a story I was working on shortly after the "Every Little Thing She Does" episode. Thanks to ECT, I have no idea what it was going to be about, but here's the flotsam that remained in Google Docs.

"It isn't working," said the young princess. She idly stirred her tea with her magic, but neglected to take a sip.

Are you all okay with watersports? No, I mean, in stories. I swear to Harmony I don't want to pee on you.

Probably.

Oh look its Goldenstream I mean Silverstream!

To B or not to B

This is the B Team.

That would make Magello the Mr T of the A Team so, yes, this works out fine.

Please, just learn the difference between "rules of style" and grammar rules.

Stylistic choices are absolutely up to the author (and for the editor to throw a fit about).

There are way too many fake "editors" and "writers" who have no clue which are which....

A dear friend of mine, our own Cynewulf, mistress of the morose and the philosophical, apologist of the astounding and whimsical, has gotten a kick in the gut courtesy of fate and capitalism. Monochromatic has the details here, and is doing a fund raiser right now, playing Mariokart in increasingly masochistic ways for money for Ms. Wulf, or you can
