Hey guys I've been working on something that will be out by this weekend. I'm thinking Saturday or Sunday. Sorry I haven't written anything so far this month, life has been pretty hectic. But I promise I'm going to start to get myself back on a schedule. In the meantime, you can support me through patreon and or PayPal if you wish through PayPal you can support me how much ever you want, and through patreon your support can range from a dollar to 20. So I'll leave the links for that.

Hello friends, it's been a while, a lot has happened since I last finished "A Tempest Tossed," to a smattering of applause and some disappointment, I'm sure. I was burned out, exhausted, my personal life was wall to wall caregiving, and I couldn't muster the mental energy I needed to focus on the story right and proper.

I haven't blogged about myself or what's going on with me in quite a while.

Things have been...decent, I suppose? I quit the job that was giving me so much trouble recently, so there's that. I'm not unemployed or anything though, I got another job as a security guard. Not exactly sure what it is that I'll be doing just yet, but I'll update you guys with details as I find them out myself.

Hey everyone. Been awhile hadn't it? Belated Happy Independence day for my fellow Americans.

Title says it all. None of you followed me to watch me blabber on and on about political issues and provide ranty social commentary. There have been a few fics of mine that got some of your attentions, and on this one night I feel as if I've wasted the attention I've gathered from you all. But to be honest I've lost all motivation in the past 6 months. My life is on a gentle downhill slope but for some reason I don't seem to care. I want to care, I want to be productive and make something

Hi, everypony. Let's talk.

Wow, big title, huh?

At any rate, things are going well. My newest story is going well, I like the pacing, I like the writing style it is something new and helps me vent some steam. I would like to make it clear that I think work on my latest story will go on in the normal weekdays, and writing on the biggest two, King: The Beginning & Fallen Knight, will be worked on during weekends.

Wow, okay guys, this is awkward..

So I just realized I haven't out out a new chapter since November 26th..

Okay, well, as I've said before, the story is not dead, far from it as there is so much I want to tell with this story. We still have Dapper's background to cover, his growing relationship with the princesses, and so much more!!

As of today, I've been on FIMFiction for 10 years.

I just listened to Lecture 12, "Structuring a narrative without a plot", from the Teaching Company series Writing Great Fiction by James Hynes.  (I don't recommend the series, as it's bloated; Hynes takes a long time getting to his point and then belaboring it, and it's often a trivial or obvious point.)

IN WHICH I DEAL WITH MINOR LOSS
Well, Orangeglow didn't make nearly the impact I hoped it would. I lost a couple of followers over it -- one of whom I assume is my downvote fairy, leaving their nasty red mark without a word before fecking off (of course I've done that too, so who am I to judge?). This is the second story of mine in a row to get basically no reception, which is disappointing to say the least. Is my writing really that boring?

I was writing an essay about how fan-fiction transcends literary movements, and got stuck on New Criticism. Everybody said it was important, but I didn't know how it fit into my grumpy meta-narrative that those damn 20th-century kids ruined everything.

I haven't released another chapter for this story in months, and that's because I've had writer's block. The annoying thing is that I've only had it for this story, and not my other ones. I know exactly what I want to happen, but I just can't put it into words, which is very frustrating.

I'll keep trying to write, though! I promise!

So, on this day in 2016, I was feeling kinda sorry for myself. I had just turned 50, and I was thinking of how few years I had left and how many things I had left undone. I began thinking of a promise I had made to myself back in my 20's. Of how I would be an author in my 50's and write stories that folks would enjoy. It started to make me even sadder, but then I realized I've been telling stories all my life.

IN WHICH I DO EVERYTHING BUT WRITE
As I promised… Enjoy! I sure am!

Now, on to news. Or something to that effect.

Smolder dropped the quill onto her desk and leaned back, watching the wedge of amber light steal her essay from the paper it was written on. Her neck hurt, her wrist hurt, her brain hurt. But it was done. Somehow, she had survived.

Hey I know I promised an update two weeks ago but this month has been really rough for me. I fell off my meds for a while and a lot of stuff piled up that I had to deal with that I just couldn't find a muse to keep writing until recently. I'm going to try and finish the next bit by the end of the month, and once that's done it should be easier to get back into the flow of our regularly scheduled programming.

Stay tuned.

Hey, guys! I've got some great news- my semi-perennial panel 'Writing Pony Fanfiction: The Basics' made the cut and will be at Whinny City Pony Con this year: it's on April 5 at 8:30 pm! It'll be great to give the panel another showing at what I consider to be my 'home-town' convention! I really hope to see you all there- this time around I'm going to try my best to make the panel even more audience-friendly and interactive. If you see me there or during the convention, feel free to come up and
