Sorry for the late post, guys. E3 stole some of my attention. :pinkiehappy:

So, stop me if you've read this one before.

Hero enters the villain's lair/stronghold/fortress/secret base/cave/space station. Hero immediately faces down a group of mooks.

IN WHICH LISTLESSNESS REIGNS
First, the good news. I have finished one of my Sunset one-shots – I decided to call it Night Of Faded Sun, it's got a pagespace and all that good stuff; I just need to give it a once-over soon. Also, I have made a small amount of progress on the other two Sunset-themed one-shots.. Now the bad news, which I don't really want to blast out there, so please follow me past the jump.

Writing Advice: “How NOT to Write” 2 · 4:01am Dec 31st, 2015

A while ago, I posted a blog covering one of my unpublished stories; the ideas that spawned it, aspects of the writing process that did not work, and why I ultimately chose not to finish it.

Today, I hope to do the same with a different story. Each story presents its own challenges and eccentricities. Today’s story is different enough that I hope it will teach different lessons from the previous one.

Unpublishing · 7:48am Aug 14th, 2016

I added more to my story. Instead of making an entire chapter and then publishing it, I dicided I would write a few paragraphs and publish that, adding more every time I got on. It fits me, but I have a feeling people would rather wait a long time then to slowly read a story over a long period of time. I want to just unpublish the story and publish it when it's done. I want to, but I don't have the balls lol. I have officially unpublished the first chapter of my first story. The 2nd unfinish

PSA: Don't Get Re;Birth on Steam · 6:49pm Aug 5th, 2015

I'm in no way, shape, or form saying don't get Hyperdiminsion Neptunia, just not this version.

For those of you who remember, I recently asked if I should get the Japanese Bundle mostly because I wanted this, it is not a good port.

First off, it's a port of the PSP remake so they changed some things.

Grammar Check Fail · 7:00pm Apr 27th, 2017

Do tell how either of those suggestions are grammatically correct for that sentence, Microsoft Word, please do. :facehoof:

I'm used to Word's grammar check occasionally being squirrelly and/or too "by the book"...but this instance seemed comically bad given the sentence it was suggesting these corrections for. :rainbowlaugh:

We are all chemical processing plants.

Like those big, industrial complexes you drive by on the highway, with their tall chimneys and squat round tanks the size of a house, paying them little to no heed at all.

Long Road Home · 1:23am Aug 14th, 2017

I return, ladies and gentlemen. I return from Baltimore and I am happy. I have met incredible people, I have received hugs and gifts and respect, I watched a man propose to his now-fiancée at a panel...

It has been a good weekend. There will be a more detailed breakdown tomorrow, after I get a new laptop. There are going to be a lot of things tomorrow, among them at least one Friendship is Card Games article. (And yes, I saw the latest episode. I generally enjoyed it.)

Silver linings? · 3:19pm Nov 21st, 2018

WHELP.

This is my 2018 "yeah I failed at NaNoWriMo again" post. Made it about ... 16k words in, and decided to scrap it. Mostly because I was having trouble reconciling setting exposition and compelling characters and so on.

The Lost Fics: Model Behavior · 10:42pm Dec 17th, 2015

This one is going to be in a slightly different format. You see, the previous fics that I blogged about, "Back to School" and "Don't Come Close", were taken from my unpublished queue on fimfic, but this story is actually from my drive/gdocs.

So today I almost burned a house down. How about you? · 2:38am Nov 19th, 2016

My wife and I used to live rent-free in an old trailer at the back of my mother's property, and now that we've moved out, mom uses it as a bit of a storage building, but mostly just tries to keep it from rotting and collapsing. And lately, there's been no power in it. The electric company said the problem was on our end, but mom didn't know what to look for in the fuse box, so she called me. I checked it out, and all the fuses were intact, so I went outside and discovered there was a main

We are sorry to report
Today at this AM hour
Such unfortunate news.
But it's our job, so thusly we announce
Earlier this morning,
An Equestrian died on Earth.

Her name was Whistle Whisp
And she was quite the trailblazer,
But also quite the alcoholic.
Some time last night she drank
And then she tried to fly,
Forgetting that in our world,
There's no magic in the air.

Splat.
