Being a Better Writer: Horizontal and Vertical Storytelling · 10:43pm Aug 21st, 2017

Welcome back readers! I apologize for the lateness of this post, but I had a physical therapy appointment this morning, and that took up the early part of the day when I normally would have been writing this post.

Finally saw dad again - life and home move progress update · 9:57pm Aug 11th, 2020

I cherish every moment I have with my dad. I went around home for the first time in maybe a month to see him. A certain someone wasn't happy about me being home, but she can frankly shove it. So I saw my dad and was chatting to him while he was working on the decking. As he would say, he's ''up Crappy Creek'' because of no work thanks to the virus, and his work van literally broke down when he was going to look for a job, and this was right when he had a bunch of work lined up, so that's slowed

Hopeless Detractors (Putting Down Characterization again) · 11:17pm Oct 6th, 2021

Yep, after careful examination, and cross-referencing over the past few days, I can confirm without a doubt, my haters are hopelessly idiotic and uncaring of facts (or even their own so-called Logic)

Writing can be exhausting · 3:51pm Apr 3rd, 2022

I've mainly noticed this after writing particularly emotional scenes, like a flashback I just wrote for chapter 15. ((I wrote 3 or 4 chapters ahead, and edit the next one to be posted as I go)) It can be emotionally draining to write some scenes, especially thoughts involving traumas that the characters experienced. It can be kinda rough! I can't even imagine how hard it'd be to write a story like Murky Number Seven or Pink Eyes, with how dark those stories can get at times. It's honestly super

Happy Yule! · 8:40am Dec 31st, 2021

Chapter 8 took longer than I'd hoped, but I'm quite happy with how it all turned out. I think I'm going to be slowing my upload time to a more sustainable pace? Plus it gives me time to go back and make edits to the chapters that are already up, which has been really fun to do so far!

I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on the fic, or just talk about FoE stuff in general honestly. Happy holidays!

Help! My Heart is Full of Pony! - Growth · 2:24pm Aug 28th, 2019

Yesterday, I posted an essay about Summer Sun Setback, the princesses, and the fact that the end of the show is neigh. There are, however, a few more thoughts on the episode that I wanted to share that don't quite fit into that box.

The theme of Summer Sun Setback was growth - moving on, and the story reinforces that theme in a lot of little ways in 22 minutes.

Need a bit of help · 8:46am Aug 8th, 2018

I know basic geology, and a bit more on gemology, but not enough to readily do something like this.

Everyone knows about the Pie family at this point I hope. What I specifically need is someone who is pretty knowledgeable about both the different members of the Pie family, and different rocks that would match them. One I came up with on my own is obsidian for Maud, because it has a ridiculous melting point, much like Maud's near saint-like patience.
