Nope, still not dead. I'm only rewriting drafts over and over again because I can't seem to do shit right as much as I used to.
But! One of the things I've working on is opening lines!
Seriously, a good opening line for a story can help you an awful lot. A different start sets you to write a different paragraph than the one you intended, sooo you got a chain reaction from there. The typical 'take a look at things from another pov' but for writing.

Tomorrow as in later today. Since I'm writing this before I am in bed it kind of counts.

Seems like everything is back to normal.

Also seems I need to flesh out at least a few Shadowbolts in this coming arc.

Sorry would have actually tried to write something today except I spent literally all my day with family.

Saw the Grinch movie. It was fine. Thanks Illumination Entertainment, I still dislike your films even if this was slightly bland, padded, and real fluffy looking. Gave me a push and more ideas for my story, except I still find the movie passable at best.

One nice thing about being handsome and famous^TM* is that you inspire others to follow in your hoofsteps footsteps. Such it is with this story--Nitro Indigo, inspired by my Not-A-Contest, decided to run her own not-a-contest, this one involving Equestrian tourists to Earth.

To Serve In Hell comes back again tomorrow for its final run.

Five days.

Five chapters.

This is it, people. The veil is about to be thrown off. And I am terrified as hell by what lies underneath.

However dark it gets, know that it could so easily get darker.

Not everypony is making it out alive, but I will not do anything cheap to these wonderful and awful ponies who I've had the privilege of writing this long.

• The Catfish--Appear as multiple different characters, all with differing motives, when really you're funneling the main character into your trap.
• The Innocent--Appear weak and helpless, ingratiate yourself to the cast, then sneak in and take what you need while their defenses are down.

I hate admitting defeat.

If you're curious how much I hate admitting it, go look at To Serve In Hell. There were any number of moments over its three-year gestation when I could've just thrown in the towel and walked away. But I just kept clawing my way toward the finish line, however slowly, and however impossible it seemed to get there at times.

I hate admitting defeat.

IN WHICH I SEND HOLIDAY GREETINGS
It's ~3am, December 25th, 2017. There's not much for me to say beyond that I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas or, if you don't celebrate (I barely do), a joyous holiday season. Y'all who have encouraged me the past three years are the reason I'm still here. I'm sorry I haven't uploaded lately but, life happens, y'know? Anywho, Peace out!

So Estee did a thing last week that I thought was a cool idea — sift through your own back catalogue and rank your own stories from best to worst. I found it interesting as a reader to see where the author's opinions differed from mine — so I figured I'd spread the idea and post my own rankings, along with bonus commentary on why I felt the way I did!

Live-reading of this blog, by Imrix.

I’m not good at romance. My idea of a contraceptive is a fake telephone number. I date girls with glasses to look at my reflection while we fuck. I blow raspberries while eating girls out.

i'm keeping them on this site for, ah. archival reasons. allow me to spare you from witnessing approximately 10k words of run-on sentences and improper usages of "your" that I, somehow, in 2014, once believed had any value as a form of literature. sincerest apologies to the few dozen whom that very misfortune fell upon

Tonight, I went to a Chinese restaurant.

The lady behind the front counter was white.

Our waiter was Arab-American; the other was Hispanic.

The only other people in the restaurant was a Polynesian family gathered around a table in the middle of the room.

Number of Chinese people in the Chinese restaurant: 0.

But at least I still got an Engrish fortune cookie (You will always have good luck in you. Personal affairs.)

They've got a rather two dimensional house, and a rather large flat-screen TV which is elevated up so you can see it through their glass front door.

I look in, and notice there's robes and a wizard hat on the screen.

I stand in my driveway, staring. A few moments later, it zooms out, and fireworks!

Yup, it's Trixie.

Apparently my neighbors are watching the season 6 finale of MLP as I write this. And not a version with commercials, either, so not on TV.
