It strikes me as really weird that a lot of non-American types of English spell apologize & realize with Ss instead of Zs even though they were originally spelled with Zs. Not saying you have to spell those words with Zs, but this particular detail really bugs my mind.

I hope no one from England ever seriously lords over some sort of "we're the original" or "we're the true form of" English mentality. You know, since all the dialects have mutated so much.

I like to write at least one chapter ahead... usually don't get to on account of my slowness. But this time I wrote a chapter ahead and it was around 70K. I like to divide my chapters up here at between 40 and 50K since longer is harder to load and search through, and shorter is too jerky and noncommittal. Limiting it at 45K or so obliges me to occasionally make sure the scene is clearly established, instead of just running on continuously forever.

How do you scan a picture? I drew cover art for one of my future projects for this site but I don't know how to scan a photo. I don't want to use my phone because I actually want the cover to look appealing. So if anybody knows how to scan a photo (easily) please tell me.

not an important post but

my old icon was a very early version of Lottie, before i even really knew what this story would be about. not to mention she never wears a scarf at any point.

so i redid the drawing (at least the head since it would be in the icon) to show more what her coloring is like in her pony form (given most of drawings are just in pencil)

not an important post, just thought i could comment on it

Near the start of this year, 2015, I made only one resolution for myself. There's a chance you may have seen what my resolution was if you ever scrolled down my userpage past the comments section and some other stuff:

Disclaimer: Everything narrated in this blog is real, and it happened – to the best of my memory – as quoted. Some bits will be simplified for readability, but I’ll try to stay as close to the truth as possible. That said, I am writing from memory, and I am famously bad at recollecting things. Some things are bound to be a little bit jumbled, because I’m only human. I apologize in advance for that just in case.

By not implementing an in-game music option that lets you actually do this.

Seriously. It'd be entirely in character. "Lofi beats to swing to"

I know, I know, it's quite bold of me to publish this on Valentine's Day of all days, but here it is all the same.

If you don't like the timing, just come back tomorrow. I'll wait.

If you're still here and you don't care about when you'd get this, all I can say is buckle up.

(Disclaimer: everything you see here is work in progress and subject to change.)

So the anniversary for my SombraPie works was over a week ago and I spent the past couple of hours doing something really silly and stupid in commemoration of it. I'm gonna look at it a little bit later on, but I don't know whether to show it to you all or just keep it to myself out of sheer amusement. It's hella meta and I don't wanna get in trouble for violating site rules by publishing as a part of my series, so I might just post it here instead.

So I had today off from work, and I had wanted to spend nearly all of it if possible working on that new cover art for "Weekend With The Dragon Lord" that I keep talking about. But I also woke up with a mild cold this morning and wasn't feeling up to doing anything for most of today except binge-rewatch the Slow-Mo Guys on YouTube, so that hasn't happened quite like I'd hoped. Additionally, I discovered today while doing what little work I have been able to do on said cover that
