Right now, it is a little late for me to be making proper puns, so that is the best I have to offer. I've been typing mostly emails and other purely academic things lately. Though, I wouldn't be blogging without a few things to discuss. I hope that y'all will read on since I do want to do my best to get back in the saddle for... well, pretty much everything in my life. The first thing to get out of the way: I got my laptop back! The new battery is in, and it ended up costing far less than I

So this is just a silly little thing, half-meditation, half-political theory about Equestria. I'm sure nobody but me will find this interesting, but... yeah. :P

The human had long since accommodated themselves in Equestria. They'd met the mane 6, gone on an adventure, traveled the world, all that jazz. Now, they found themselves in Canterlot, face to face with the Princess of the Sun herself, with a single question on their mind.

"How?"

You will be sorely missed.

It has been a particularly rough week for the Bugsydor. I won't bother you with the details (unless you ask me to, and my response would likely be in PM form), but I will give you a brief summary: The cops were at my place, I was neither a suspect nor a victim, some utterly unconnected things also sucked, and I was a nervous wreck for a few days as a result of all that. However, between the magic of friendship and the passing of time – along with a brief chat with a bishop – I'm feeling much

Hello everyone! This is just a blog post to let you know that I am, in fact, still around. Also, more importantly, I am writing another story. It's just been slow-going. The simple explanation for my recent silence is just that I've been getting used to my new job. Part of that is just adjusting to a new routine, and the other part is the crushing existential angst of switching careers and wondering if I made the right decision and just need to grow into it, or if I'm just settling for

*internal thoughts during The Perfect Pear*

"If Granny Smith seemed pretty reasonable towards Bright Macintosh, then wouldn't she be able to set the Apple-Pear rivalry aside for him?"

"Why doesn't Granny Smith trust other families, anyway?"

You might notice this wasn't published Wednesday. That's because that's when I got my university results, and I've had to spend the last three days dealing with the implications of them. I've finally sat down to write this.

So, this year I was pursuing my second degree in journalism because, you know, I need a stable adult job and it's writing and I get paid minimum wage for being a student in Australia. All good things.

I know it hasn't quite been a year since I published the story yet, but then again Twilight has been working on getting Rarity's attention for some time before that already, hasn't she? Either way, I've already put this post off way too long, so let's do this.

Of course, my wince didn’t go unnoticed by the mistress of the night.

Celestia smiled at the little gesture. “You’re right. Like the weasel you are, you’ve worked your way into my heart.”

Don’t scream don’t scream don’t scream don’t scream don’t scream don’t scre

“But… is it… love?”

She drew in a sharp breath. “Yes.”

That same finger now quickly tapped as if he were trying to listen for something within. “There’s love for me in there?”

Okay, so before anyone says anything yes, I know I missed the February update and basically did f&*k all that month but in my defense work was kicking my flank so hard that month that I barely remember most of it other than endless pizza deliveries and rolling around in tip money. Not that that's a bad thing, mind you, but still...

so glad to say that
1. very glad i decided to publish The Dreamweaver, and even more glad that so many people like it.
2. As of two days after it got published, it has over a thousand view, 116 likes, and yesterday it had the heat/hot symbol. i honestly don't use the site enough to know exactly what that is or how you get it but i assume it just means the story is popular? also:

• Number of bookshelves: 322
• Tracking: 101

i'm so happy, honestly.

The end of the line . . . there’s not much further west Sweetsong can go before she runs out of tracks.

Fortunately, that’s the goal.
