NaNoWriMo Part 3; or, National Not Writing Month · 2:21am Nov 17th, 2015

It was another semi-productive week for NaNoWriMo! For the first bit in any case. I reached 14,509 words total, which means I wrote a gross wordcount of 5,371 words over the course of five days, Sunday to Thursday. I was not home from Friday to Sunday night, and so did not get any words written (I was taking part in my yearly bout of wildlife conservation). This week is looking similar, so I'm going to do my best to crunch as many words as possible before I take my leave of the internet.

In the Absence of Twilight Sparkle - News! · 9:00pm May 10th, 2019

I'd like to start by making apologies for going dark on this story for so long. I never intended to abandon it, and I allowed the silence to snowball until you all probably thought I was gonna quietly cancel it.

I'm not going to quietly cancel it.

Because it's not cancelled. It's going on hiatus.

Rhythm and Rhyme Postmortem; The Origin and the Point · 2:01am May 7th, 2020

“MyHobby!” you say. “Where did the story come from, and why were you teasing it for literally four years before you actually started writing it?”

Rhythm and Rhyme was originally a much different story. It always centered around Button Mash and Sweetie Belle, maybe more so than the final product, but it has its roots going back many a year. I recall it being the first near-future Ponyville story I ever devised, and yet, it came out as one of the last.

NaNoWriMo Part 5; or, The Last Push · 2:46am Dec 1st, 2015

This is it, folks. The final day of NaNoWriMo, the day where your word-count stands in judgment over you. What does mine say?

"Eh, good job buddy. Better luck next year."

Super Mario Maker 2 - MyHobby Edition · 10:05pm Jun 29th, 2019

I got myself a copy of Super Mario Maker 2 mostly so that I can play levels other people have made, because folks are dang creative. However, I've spent the day making a level.

I've spent the better part of it just trying to clear it. :facehoof:

It's not a stupid-hard level, it's just a tough platforming challenge. Sooooooo if any of my followers wanna see what a MyHobby-designed level looks like, feel free to give it a whirl!

Level: Thwomp's Pet Snake Block
ID: 7LD-C93-1PF

NaNoWriMo; or, How I Plan to Spend my November · 9:58pm Oct 31st, 2015

My friends, I come to you with mixed news.

I've been wanting to write original fiction for a while now. Years. Decades, actually. This year, I set out to write an original novel.

It's been sitting pretty at three and a half chapters since February. Yeee... :facehoof:

NaNoWriMo Part 2; or, November is a Hard Month for Writing · 10:42pm Nov 8th, 2015

Saturday ended with 9,138 words in The bag, only 2,528 words under par! Believe it or not, that is quite the achievement given the week I had. It turns out that between work, volunteering, and getting ready for a trip, it all rolled out to about two hours a day to write.

Sometimes less. For instance, while Saturday was a very good day at about 2,500 words, Friday was... not. 21 words? It's a little embarrassing. :twilightblush:

A War Among the Stars: Top Five Favorite Star Wars Novels · 3:42am May 24th, 2020

Yo, remember that Star Wars Podcast I'm part of? We've got 11 episodes now!

I wanted to bring special attention to episode 11 itself, where my friend and I discuss our top five favorite Star Wars Expanded Universe novels. Our main focus is on Star Wars before Disney bought it, that bygone time now known only as Legends.

Signal Boost: The Midnight Filly · 4:06am Jan 7th, 2018

Friends, delegates, fellow countrymen, and international associates!

I've been acting as a pre-reader for Dinode's new story, The Midnight Filly, and also being a sounding board for ideas regarding the series he wishes to start with it. I've unfortunately been unable to help as much as I'd like, with my 2017-2018 schedule being all kinds of Gonzo Bananas, but I do think he's got great ideas, a characterful style, and a good grasp of the English language!

Coming Soon to an Internet Near You: Rhythm and Rhyme · 2:27am May 29th, 2016

Because it's finally happening! Eeeeeee!

This is it! The story of Daring Do's continuing feud with Ahuizotl! The story of Button Mash's pursuit of a relationship with Sweetie Belle! The story of changelings and griffons, kidnappers and monsters, gods and mortals! The glorious return of all your favorite OCs from DayBreak! The epic conclusion to Part II of The Heart's Promise Continuity!

It'll take over a year to write, but hey, them's the breaks. :scootangel:

Read It Later Reviews #67 – Sanctity of Life; Hay-oh, Welcome to Hayburger; Customer Service; Princess Luna’s School for Gifted Young Alicorns; What Cats Know · 9:16pm Feb 1st, 2017

It has been a long time since I managed to get multiple review sets done in advance, and yet, here I find myself with two Read It Later review sets that I got done before I had posted either of them.

The last set’s epilogue ended with me noting I should read stories off my high priority bookshelf… so naturally, I immediately disregarded that advice and just read some stories on a whim.

Let’s see how it goes, shall we?

Read It Later Reviews #66 – On Forensic Accounting & Choral Singing, Friendship is Physics, Sunny Skies All Day Long, Hyperportentia, Not In Bluff Nor Bravado Nor Loneliness · 1:27pm Jan 31st, 2017

The funny thing about procrastination is that sometimes it ends up wrapping back around into productivity.

It’d be nice if I could be productive in the directions that I aimed, but at least I’m getting something done.

Today includes a few stories from the RCL, as well as a couple stories that I previously read that didn’t quite merit a recommendation, along with a final story – one that I’ve put off reading since the Outside Insight contest all the way back in 2014.

I'm in a Star Wars Podcast! · 9:47pm Apr 4th, 2020

Honored guests and applicable aliases, it's time for a slight paradigm shift from what we usually see around these parts. For the past few months, my buddy and I have been working on a fun project. Y'see, he's got to create a podcast for his college project, and he wanted to base it on something that was fun to talk about. The two of us routinely get into the nitty gritty about what we like and dislike about Star Wars, so it seemed a good fit for me to "guest" star.
