Two days of reviews in a row? When was the last time that happened?

Some folks have been writing some interesting stories lately.

Clearly, that means it is time for some reviews before I dig into grading tests.

It is amazing how long a couple weeks can feel like.

At the time of writing, less than a week ago I was at Everfree Northwest.

It feels like it was forever ago already.

I was feeling like I haven’t recommended a story in a long time… but the last story I read that got added to my Recommended list was read on May 11th, only 11 days before I wrote this introduction (which I then took four days to post).

Reviews, reviews, who’s got the reviews?

TD, apparently.

In an attempt to simultaneously get something done, clear out the Royal Guard queue a bit, and to procrastinate, I’ve got five more stories read and reviewed for you folks.

Two days until the start of Everfree Northwest, but I leave for the Emerald City tomorrow. If any of you are going to be there and want to meet up, send me a PM and I’ll give you some contact information; I don’t have a smart phone, so the most reliable way of contacting me while I’m wandering around the convention is likely to be an actual, honest-to-god phone call.

I know, shocking.

I’ve been re-reading Scott McCloud’s Understanding Comics, and I have at least one blog post planned based on that book. If you’ve never read it, it is an interesting read, and at some point, I’ll likely write a review of the book, but I can tell you that if you’re interested in comics as a medium, it is well worth your time.

Horizon and Bookplayer released new stories today, and Baal Bunny and Estee each released one earlier this week. You know what that means – it is time to get reading!

Today’s stories are four stories from established authors whose works I enjoy, plus a fifth from a new writer whose very first story ever got featured.

Howdy folks! It’s been a few weeks since I last did one of these. My last set of Read It Later reviews was published on May 8th, so it’s been almost two weeks since then!

Yes, 13 days. Only 13 days. It’s crazy though, because it feels like it’s been more than a year!

This about sums up how I’ve been feeling these last few days:

Yesterday, I said I’d maybe take a break from recent story reviews to work on my own stuff.

Then my feed exploded with stories.

You monsters. It’s almost like you want me to keep reading!

But for all your work, I am grateful – today was a very good day for pony fiction.

Decided to try and be useful and get some stuff done.

Did a bunch more reviews, and rewrote chapter six of Mistletrapped.

I always feel as though I waste far too much of my time on frivolous things – primarily, watching the news. I think, this weekend, I will try to avoid the news – try to avoid stupid, frivolous, wasteful things, and actually try and do things that make me feel good in the long term, instead of fritter away my time.

We’ll see if I can succeed.

I was originally planning on posting my TwiDash story today, but then I realized that today was the final day of Fan of Most Everything’s Imposing Sovereigns contest, which contributed several stories to today’s review set and will likely contribute several to the next one as well. As such, I felt like I’m sure a lot of folks’ feeds are full today, so my own story (which is basically done, though I’m still poking at a few edits) will likely go up tomorrow or Tuesday, largely depending on

I’ve been remiss in clearing out my “Read It Now” queue, and thought I’d go through and review a bunch of recent stories for your reading pleasure – or displeasure, as the case may be.

They say that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

In the end, though, I generally find it more like rolling a rock down a hill – once you get started, it is a lot easier to keep going.

It's that time again! That magical time when TD publishes a story and then goes on a reading spree to see what he missed while he was editing his work.

The review set is only a day late. Shhh.

But yes, I did publish a story earlier this week, and I'm rather proud of it:

The Fated Hour

Comedy, Romance

Do you know that feeling when you know that you’re holding yourself back, know that you aren’t doing the things you most want to do, know that you’re spending your time on lesser things when you can be spending them on greater ones?

I do. I feel a strange sort of avoidance at times at delving into certain experiences. I would like to say it is fear of disappointment, but it isn’t; I don’t fear disappointment. I simply feel avoidant towards some things for no good reason.
