So, it's been a while since I did one of these, huh? · 3:15pm Dec 18th, 2021

A lot's been going on in my life of late, so I figure I should probably give y'all an update. First off, and most relevant to you, probably, I finished the first draft of an original novel! I don't want to divulge too much, as my plan is to try and get it published by a real publishing company so people all over will actually read it, but I'll share the main draws. It's a medieval fantasy epic, with three co-protagonists, each having their own arc. And the unique soft magic system had a lot of

E-Book is out for preorder on Amazon Now. Audible still needs some work to be orderable. · 11:41pm Jun 3rd, 2022

So, apologies in advance. Fimfic does not allow me to tag more than one story at once, so I'm double dipping here as this applies to both main batty stories and I have no idea how many are tracking the first story and not the second.

Hit a milestone today. · 8:04am Apr 9th, 2020

Hit that sweet 45678 words in the original fiction adaptation. :raritywink:
There's really not much left of the story to write at this point, to be honest. This is one of the final chapters, and though it's only really long enough to be considered a novella/light novel, I'm perfectly fine with that.

Adora felt like the tour was going well. She was enjoying it even though Princess Scorpia looked really nervous, which made Adora feel nervous in turn. The two of them were walking on one of the catwalks along the northern edge of the city.

Happy Hearth's Warming! · 7:34pm Dec 23rd, 2018

Warm holiday wishes to my fellow Bronies, and special thanks to my fellow writing pals, my loyal readers, and to all those who may be stopping by my page for the first time. May the cold times bring warm good cheer to you all.

Also, to celebrate, I've cooked up a new chapter of my current fic at long last! Enjoy!

Frankenstein vs. Today's Newspaper · 7:43pm Mar 26th, 2020

I'm listening to "Masterpieces of the Imaginative Mind", a 2007 lecture series by Eric Rabkin about fantasy and science fiction.  In lecture 14, "Frankenstein", he said the story is a warning against "science in the hands of an egotist, alienated from the restraining wisdom of community".  He closed the lecture by saying, "To test the relevance of this admonition,

Catra was quietly pissed— and keeping it quiet was not easy. There was a polite smile on her face and her posture was impeccable, but she couldn't keep her tail from lashing like a whip.

What would A Rather Large Adventure look like if I de-pony-ified it? · 11:49pm Aug 3rd, 2021

If this question has been on your mind, fear not. Tomorrow, I will release in a blog my general outline for what this particular book series would look like. I have a very good feeling it can succeed in the book market if given a shot in a few years.

So, according to a recent change in the dictionary, literally now means both literally AND litterally the opposite of literally. · 11:18am Aug 28th, 2015

Article

According to the dictionary, “literally” now also means “figuratively”
Thanks in part to the overuse of "literally," Merriam-Webster says the word can now mean its exact opposite. Huh?

Another call for Beta-readers, and so on! · 1:55pm Sep 7th, 2019

Oh, hello.

So yeah. Last week or two, I've been trying to focus on NON PONY FICTION. Fancy that. Which, well ... is good, but I've also kind of hit one of those 'agh everything I do is terrible' bits about 16k words in. Which, uh, resulted in me just cutting a good 3k of stuff and taking the plot in a slightly different direction, but that's what I get for making things up as I go along.

De-Pony-ized A Rather Large Adventure · 1:11pm Aug 4th, 2021

This is gonna be a long one, folks.

Note: the following names will remain pony-ized to keep track of continuity, names, events, etc...

Book 1

The prologue will not be front-loaded with backstory about the world's creation and the War in Heaven. Instead, it will be about the humble circumstances of Freedom Fighter's birth, placing him as a subject of importance early on.

Every version of Adora in the multiverse was the sort of person that’d work themselves to the bone, and this one was no exception. She’d been studying most of the day in the cold house, hunched over spellbooks she knew by heart and drumming her fingers on the countertop with the familiar, repressed desire to get up and move. Once again, she lifted her hands and took a deep breath.
