It's now with prereaders with the working title of Agni Kai, for its Avatar - The Last Airbender-inspired firebending battle—though that's far from the only thing it references. It's currently coming in at just shy of 16k words, meaning it'll probably be over 17k by the time I'm through with editing passes and all the additional detail I usually add.

But of more interest is the emergence of 17-year cicadas in my area. Big, ugly, red-eyed insects that are the size of your thumb but basically harmless, as long as you can get past all the shed skins they leave behind on leaves and the everpresent and disconcertly loud background sound they produce as a mating call. Fortunately, the outbreak in my area seems pretty limited. There's a few around, definitely, but they're not everywhere, and the noise is basically a low hum instead of a constant,

I’m waiting a couple more days to give the rest of my prereaders more chance to hit it. Be warned that I did decide to break up the chapter again, so you’ll essentially be getting part 1 of Queen Moly vs Dragon Lord Vesuvius with a lot of additional commentary—and a major revelation or two—from the Humane 6 peanut gallery as Sunset continues to tell the tale.

It’s going to be draft complete by tonight at what I'm guessing will be somewhere around 11k words, at which point it's off to prereaders following one initial editing pass. But as so often happens in my writing, the chapter got too big for its wingboners and I couldn't put everything I wanted into it without doubling the length. I suppose I could do that, but as my general clopfic philosophy remains that heavy M-rated chapters should be careful not to do too much at once, the griffon chapters

I made an OC.

Oh no, I made more than one.

Oh no.

So it's my B-day today, I'm officially another year older. And before you ask, just as I mentioned in the last blog, I'd currently prefer to keep my age private.

Anyway, so I have no idea how to celebrate, but thank you for all of the lovely birthday wishes! It is very much appreciated, you wonderful people you.

My wish is that you all have a wonderful day today, (some Jse merch would be nice too,) and I once again thank you.

And now to play this awesome remix on repeat.

Nova Quill once again comes through and delivers some tasty artwork from a couple of my fics! Spoiler warning for those who haven't read For the Mare Who Has Everything, but this piece takes place pretty late in the story where everything gets unnervingly real.

Thank you, Australia, for bringing me this! I was so sad Canada stopped their early releases to tease me with this. But now it is here! A double this time due to minimal thoughts.
I love Discord's development, and it's fruity time it seems? Let's check it all out.

"So what's it like being a hack," and its variations is a question I get asked often enough. Sometimes it's not verbalized but it's the way others just kind of shake their heads when you chime in on writing or some other thing in relation to it. Other times it's just finishing dead last (even when they don't tell you that's where you finished but you know it based upon various factors that include not allowing yourself enough time to edit or some such thing). Of course I think they should

Many writers -- myself included -- have integrated bits of the original G1 My Little Pony cartoon with Friendship is Magic. I recently re-watched an Old School Pony Review of the episode, "Quest of The Princess Ponies." Video included and can be seen below.

So, I’ve actually made some headway on some of my stories, started a few new projects, and have actually got a few extra followers to show up and say howdy (or at the least, check out my current “masterpiece”).

I had every intention on continuing my work, but... something came up. Something I’ve been waiting the better part of a decade for. Something that’s been EVERYWHERE for the past week or so until it was finally released yesterday and became even MORE everywhere.

Last week's nonsense is completed. Enjoy that little taste of mistakes of the future.

This time around... hooooooboy. We haven't done a decent creepypasta in a good while, so how about a rewrite of the mother of 'em, written by the original's author? DREAD.

... is Testosterone. I think I’ve mentioned before that mine is chronically low, so every four months, I get a fresh infusion of it in the form of implanted pellets a couple inches to the left or right of my tailbone. It starts with a series of lidocaine injections to numb the area for the small incision it requires, meaning Fortrakt would faint to see it.

Prereads are in, and they’re favorable, with the chapter currently weighing in at 14.8k words. So I’ll be launching the chapter tonight after one more editing pass. And looking ahead, the next C&C chapter is at 7100 words and growing. It’ll probably be double that when all is said and done, at least for the M-rated version. Just as before, the T-rated version will be considerably less, but still have substantial content that shows the (figurative) climax of the Gilda vs Cipio battle, and set

Every once in a while, your muse kicks in, and then you get on this writing roll and can’t stop. Today was a such a day, as I took my new Firefly chapter from 1600 words all the way to draft complete at 9300 words. So at this point, you can expect it to launch by midweek and probably be in the neighborhood of 10.5k words after all prereads are in and all my editing passes are complete. As this is the fifth of six promised chapters by summer, this also means there should be no issue with

All the duplicate fights have been completed for Chapter 3 of "The Secret of Harmony". Now all that's left is one more confrontation, some parts afterwards, the usual proofreading, and the chapter will be ready for publishing!

I'M DEEPLY SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO WRITE THIS CHAPTER. Hopefully, when I do the others, they won't be as bad.

So with that out of the way, any predictions as to what might happen in these fights?

Sorry this took so long. My laptop has been acting up all day, plus I had a lot of work to do in cold with metal, so my hands are kind of bloody. Anyway...........To celebrate Heart n Hooves Day, I have gathered up all my ships into one giantic blog. Beware, this will be very big.
