My gentle readers, I wrote you some words! There's ponies in them this time! Okay, there's just one.

Well, NaPoWriMo 2016 is going pretty well so far. I've been able to keep up with writing 500 words or more everyday, with the exception of two days so far. I wrote enough on other days to make up for that slacking off, though, so I've got that going for me.
So, in the almost three years I've been frequenting this site, I've virtually posted no new fictions. Maybe it was because I was too busy, or too scared, or maybe just really lazy. Regardless, my story submissions have been so sporadic that I could be considered legally dead.
That all changes tomorrow.
Think it's too early to be announcing new fictions? Got that thought in your head saying, "What in the world is this guy doing with his life? He hasn't even finished his first fiction! Isn't he backed up enough?"
Only one word can answer those questions: YEP
That's write right! Yours truly will be participating in this year's National Pony Writing Month!

Welp, with the turn to November finally here, it's time to strap myself into my word processing software and write for dear life.
See you on the flipside.
So this was one heck of a month for me. Not only did I promise to write 60,000 words for National Pony Writing Month, but I also had to go take the GRE Test in order to apply for my graduate school. Coupled with a birthday and shrinking possibilities of getting a job, it was quite the stressful month.
But I did it. I survived, and even succeeded in some places.
I studied for the GRE and got better than average scores.
A year ago, I started blogging on this site, with my first blog about my participation in National Pony Writing Month. Well, I'm doing it again this year, with the same word goal of 60,000 words. I'm doing 11 different stories this year, and along with my schoolwork, it's going to be a hell of a time this year. Hopefully I'll be able to pull through.
It first started with a homework assignment. A video essay I needed to finish and just barely finished in time, but required a sleepless night and another presentation to be done. Everything was completed, but I'm greatly dissatisfied with the final results.
Hey guys! A couple updates for you!
One Wish Upon a Star
- In a couple words, it's a ship fic between Sunburst and Starlight, so if you're a fan, that's your fic.
- But at the same time, it's much more than a ship fic pulled out of my butt. It's also an analysis of Starlight's character, that while the majority of the fanbase holds that she is a Mary Sue, she has some genuine depth that makes her character unique.
- Description: I wish, I wish upon a star...
So the National Pony Writing Month is (somewhat) drawing to a close and after three straight days of writing, my brain is fried. However, I wasn't too keen on twiddling my thumbs while playing Fallout: Classic, so I drew up the final teaser and cover for our NaPoWriMo Entry, Equestrian Redemption. You can catch it below.
I wanted to write up a “Day 2” and “Day 3” blog post, but, frankly, I was too tired to do either. But I took notes, so CLEARLY THIS IS TOTALLY CROMULENT.
Day 2 started with me going to Taco Bell for breakfast and getting some box thing for $5. It was actually fairly decent – I don’t get why people complain about Taco Bell. Sure, it only has like five ingredients, but they’re decent ones.
