So it's been a whole year since I updated Hand in Hoof. Quite a sobering thought, now that I put it in retrospect. I've really been that horrible of a procrastinator in the last six months.

Me In A Nutshell:
My name Emma Lee Downs and I am just another author struggling to make her way in the world. I write music on various instruments, draw, paint, sculpt, and of course, write.

I've just posted what may be the most personal story I've ever written, given that my middle name is Trixie, my nickname ever since high school is Trickster, and my mother has dementia. There are other deep parallels I'd rather not discuss here.
Well, I mean, interesting to me. Took care of a few IRL things. Work was busy in... unique ways, lately. Winter doesn't seem to want to go away quite yet (which I'm actually fine with. Already sick of Mr. Sun). Had a quiet celebration for my wife's birthday and our Anniversary (got her a CD and some books she wanted). We've been officially married for 8 years now, living together for almost 5 (well, at least OFFICIALLY). Kinda proud of that, even though these are still rookie numbers. Finished
Me: Okay we're gonna write tonight. SYS-TER, I got you in a technology-based story as an artificial intelligence, so what do you want?
SYS-TER: Make sure I'm portrayed in a way that will reflect in all other tales you've written in the same universe
Me: Uh huh
SYS-TER: Make sure the setting is really good. nothing simple
Me: Okay
SYS-TER: And make sure to show off the technology
Me: Fine
Join My Promotion Site
Hey guys. I just wanted to let you know that I made a site where you can promote all of your art, writing, music, dance, film, YouTube videos, fan fictions, published work, stores, and basically whatever you want. There is also general discussion, role playing, chat rooms, and all sorts of other fun stuff to do on the site.
So, this happened.
I haven't posted nearly enough porn for this.
I know I'm late on writing this blog post, because apparently I've picked up two more of you beloved barnacles since then. So it's time for me to address all you crazy ponies with stuff relevant to my future on Fimfiction and beyond.
Well, once again, I entered a writing contest, and would you look at that? Not one single mention of my story. I don't know why, it might be because it was rated Teen when most of the others were Mature. Maybe I'm not as good of a writer as I thought I was. Or maybe I shouldn't even bother writing stories for contests.
I once told my good friend Professor Plum that I could make any Rarity ship work, damn it, and he asked if he could put that to the test by commissioning me. Even though I don't take commissions, I agreed because I wanted to see if I could do it.
I figured I'd preview it for y'all.
EDIT: Thanks to FOME for suggesting changing Prada to Rara in the title
So, I'm thinking of rewriting The Wayfarers summery for the coming year. I've been tinkering with it for a while, but I'm thinking of trying something else completely. Maybe something a little more in the vague side? I want the reader to have an idea of what they're getting into, but I also don't want to be so wordy. I don't know. I'm open to suggestions.
For now, though, bed. Swamped from work.
At first I was like: "WOW AMAZING IDEA" and then I was like: '"Nah, I'm out."
How do you even long-story writers? Really, let's talk about it.
Part of cultivating virtue is acknowleding vice. I've praised Glimmer, let's now de-levitate her a bit.
It started out bright and early with a scholarship interview at a college. After that I danced for two hours and for once remembered the choreography??? Anyway after that I showered, took a painful shit that ripped up my ass, then went to a Christmas party with the best family in the world! We played bingo and a bunch of other crazy games with some crazy people. There were these kids who were very effective condom commercials, but at the same time they were very sweet and
