Video games aren’t the kinda thing you’d expect me to talk about on here, as I mostly use it for things such as updates on stories and such, but I feel the need to bring this up because it has partly to do with why I’m not so good at taking feedback at some points. Overall, I want to think I’m fair with it, but sometimes I feel a little to harsh on people when it comes to reviewing my stories. My favorite video game, or one of the two that share the spot, is the reason for it. As much as I love

So did anyone else find this episode’s moral slightly off-putting?

So I put a hault on everything because of a HUGE and I mean HUGE development in my life. I won't exactly spoil it, but it's a friendship thing, and I'm writing a story about it, I'm almost done, should be done by about... next week? Yeah.

Of all my stories, those that are emotionally driven get the best ratings here. Yes I'm trying out a thriller, and yes I will finish it, but emotional stories have the most impact. So what is my strategy when it comes to emotional stories? There are other theories out there and many of them might be good or even better, but this here is my own secret to making emotionally gripping stories, and I'm going to share it with anyone who reads.

Good news! I am 99.5% better. Just some residual tiredness and stuffiness, but fading fairly well. Huzzah! Today I can work on A Game of Stakes!

But first I wanted to get this out there: Keep calm, be patient, and think.

I'm writing an original song and I need some help with the list of words, images, emotions, and phrases to use and questions to come up with so that I can answer them. They all have to be related to the song's themes, topic, title, etc. or contrasting them in some way.

Can you help me with that?

Here's the list so far:

JUST when I thought life was going better, it throws a curveball at us. I finally hear I got a steady job, where I will be able to stay. I finally am going to have enough extra cash to get better internet. I finally was able to afford a new laptop that can help me do everything else easier! And what happens?

A story should hook the reader within the first half page. (This blog post was inspired by a game I misinterpreted in a forum.)

I'm already loving it and this is only the opening track.

This is my peace in the chaos that is the upcoming finals tests and will absolutely be a reason why new chapters have slowed.

Suicidal depression is not an easy thing to live with. I am blessed to say that I am not currently dealing with depression as much as I have in the past. High school was rough, college wasn’t that great, and right after college I went through a rough divorce which cost me the ability to achieve my dream of working in the ministry (though admittedly by my own personal conviction of the meaning of μιᾶς γυναικὸς ἄνδρα). The Lord blesses me with the continuance of my existence and finds it

A short poem written by bronyprophet, for the loss of a beloved mother. When you read this think of the epic sacrifice, your mother endured for your sake, to bring you into this world. If you haven't spoken to her in awhile, call her, because she may not be around forever, so make sure you make the most of the time you share together. Say "thank you for bringing me into this world." although this world is broken. She believed you were worth her sacrifice, remember that. Show her that you

A friend of mine on a Discord server explained the importance of anger and how it's a valid human emotion.

Here's what they said.

"...it's okay to feel anger or even hatred towards people who hurt you and abuse you, especially if they're family and supposed to love you."

"Anger and hatred aren't "un-Christian" feelings. They make us human. They protect us."

"If we were happy and loving all the time, we wouldn't be human."

Here I am wallowing in my own self misery of a string of misfortunes. Thinking of how to bring those around me down, when it finally clicked much like a missing puzzle piece. One shouldn't try to give misery company out of a few little hiccups, that instead creating something new shouldn't be my mission.

To create things which bring smiles, rather than frowns.

Have you ever had one of those days where you just didn't know if you wanted to smile and laugh or just cry, scream and shout instead?
Well, I'm feeling that right now, and a whole lot actually,
But what do you even call that state of feeling/mind?

So, just watching the latest episode and… so sue me, I’m getting a little more respect for Flurry Heart. What I’m liking is all the incidental lessons she’s teaching the audience about reality and literature, even as we’re all reluctant to learn them.

Hiii everyone!

A reader sent me a PM earlier asking if I planned on doing a recap for the series because of the big hiatus, and the answer is YES AND HERE IT IS!

Enchanted Carousel is nearly ready to update soon (...again...) so I think this is a good time to give everyone a refresher and answer any questions y'all might have.
