Well... what an eventful week I have had. Firstly I would like to apologise to all the people who found this on FIMFiction, the amazing people who have been waiting for me to publish stuff where... I just haven't been able to do anything. Once again, university on top of being a part of Alicon has just made my life incredibly busy and it's going to be like that for a while. Please bear with me and come November, I will be dropping chapters like they're hot!

For those who didn't see it, I was at Looney Con 2 last year.

We just came across the video for my 5 Steps to Writing Anything seminar, so first off, let me post it here for y'all! (along with the playlist of all the online cons I've had recorded)

That done, consider this the first announcement that...

Hey guys, I'm out here in Milwaukee having a rockin' time at Day 1 of Ponyville Ciderfest!

My first panel, "Writing Pony Fanfiction", will be at 6:30pm in the Caramel Room downstairs. My next panel is right after (starts at 7:30) in the Oak Room right nearby. Both should be rockin' good times!

If you're here, stop on by- I'd love to see you!

Okay guys, SERIOUSLY, who is going to be making it to Ponyville Ciderfest next weekend?

Again I’ll be there as standby medical staff, but with no panels for me to do and no drinking because of the whole med staff thing (SAD REACCS ONLY), I need some b u d d i e s to talk with!!!

If you’re gonna be at Ponyville Ciderfest at ANY POINT during that weekend, let me know so we can meet, chat, and hangout (if you don’t find me eminently annoying)

Welcome back writers. I’d venture a guess that you’ll likely be able to guess what big event is going on this week simply by looking at today’s topic.

Well Kiddos, I'm confirmed to be at Whinny City Ponycon in April (the venue is like 20 minutes from where I grew up and where my parents still live- I used to go to the My Little Pony Fair there). Even better, I'll be hosting a panel "Writing Pony Fanfiction: The Basics"!

If any of my dear internet followers are headed there, I'd love to meet you in person; alternatively, let me know if you have writing experience and would like to join me as a cohost of the panel!

Do you ever see the content made by other Bronies and wonder: "How did they do that?"

And then right after asking that, do you ask yourself: "How can I do that?"

Then, this panel is for you!

In this lecture, I'll be going over the initial steps to take when trying out new skills such as writing, drawing, vectoring, audio recording, and video production.

Check it out! It's even subtitled!

That might have been the best con I've been to yet.

Highlights:

- 10-12 people showed up for my fanfiction panel, which was awesome considering I got a Friday timeslot and not a Saturday one. (Someone recorded it and I'll let anyone who might be interested know when/where it's up)

I'll be at Harmony Con, running seminars, trolling, and hanging around all 3 days, so if y'all wanted to see me at a con, this would be the one to be at.

Yay we got our writing panel at EQLA! The panel will take place on Friday September 4, 2015 from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM. So here is my question: What would you like to see us talk about? If you scroll back a few blogs you can see what my application looked like. See you guys in Anaheim in September!

With the convention looming just a week away, I hope those who are planning to attend are as excited or more excited I am. It's always a great time seeing fellow authors, internet friends, and otherwise communing with the community we've built around our favorite pastel ponies.

For this year, I'll be on two panels and will be generally be hanging out around the convention. So if you spot me, don't be afraid to say hi. I promise, I'm not scary.

Today is the day.

These are the slides.

Vinyl's ready.

Are you ready?

I can't believe that I forgot to promote this, but there is no time like the present.

If you follow THIS LINK, you will find yourself taken to a video I made: Hitler Finds Out Bronycon 2019 is the Last One. It's an old, dank meme format for true memers ONLY. From there, you can head to my channel proper where the videos of my Fanfiction panel from Whinny City 2018 are up, for those few of you who may or may not be interested.
