Can you guys guess what I've been up to lately? Here's a clue.

What will happen next? What will happen next?

Hello everyone,

Silence has broken into stride
Fate has given up on the wicked
And replaced the stones with weak,
A sign that impedes upon the progress strongly desired
But destiny has written it to be so...

Rarity: "What are you talking about?"

Rainbow Dash: "Yeah Note. That was a little creepy, even for you."

Oh if I was to tell the truth
That one white lie that never farces a soul,
You would be assured that your hope;

So, I've been ill. Signed off work until the New Year. Yay.

(I had a negative COVID-19 test last month, but was then diagnosed with a nasty chest infection. I'll be back. Too many stories left to tell.)

Well, like Rainbow Dash, I get to be geeky about something. Just saw Rarity Investigates and my head nearly exploded. Sometimes I am complete flabbergasted. When I was growing up, children's cartoon never had this quality nor attention to detail.

Business first: We got a really good look at the Canterlot Carousel façade. I made a minor tweak to Pins and Needles to reflect this. (Can you believe it, Pins (aka Sassy Saddles), is a continuing character!?)

This stallion from the new episode looks suspiciously similar to Scootaloo...

You ever have an epiphany right before you fall asleep that changes how you look at everything?

Something kind of like that under the break.

(Also spoilers for The Heart of an Author, if you haven't read it yet. Which you should.)

Hello everyone!

Well, another Monday has come and gone, and with it has come some new chapters, both in Noire and in Letters from the Homefront. I'm glad that some people seem to enjoy these stories, and it was good to hear some positive feedback in Letters! I hope that you all are looking forward to next Monday as much as I am!

However, that's not what this blog is about. This blog is about sharing another project of mine that's been in the working for several months now.

Too bad nobody's ever written a story featuring those two...

Yes, the windows are all in and life begins to even out. Got to love that! It's amazing how much furniture and other things being out of place can mess with the flow of life.
On another note... Chapter 5 of The Hungry Eyes is out and ready to read. More magic, and mystery unfolds.

As soon as I get my hands on it, that is. Well, it's a costly game, and Christmas is right around the corner, so you'll be sure to hear from me soon enough. After the disaster that was Gates to Infinity, how bad could this game possibly be, right?

...

...guys?

As the author, I reserve the right to do this (as well as bitchy payback to my editor for abandoning me when he went on vacation)!:

The group of 7 ran as fast as their hooves could carry them towards Solange’s house. As soon as they got in, Solange called out to her mom.

“In the kitchen.”, Sam said in a wavering tone.

Do murder mysteries have to be rated Mature on this site? Asking because I'm wondering if I can get more readers on Bloodhound if it was rated Teen instead. The only thing that might warrant the M rating are the bodies, which could be considered slightly graphic.

Sorry if it's a dumb question. Just wanted to ask for clarification.

My gosh people are going to wonder wait a moment why use this character in this prologue wait do I remember this name?... from G4 OMG what have you done... let's see how many ponies you know!!!! hehehehehehehehehehee muahahahahahahahaa!!!!! I'm going to use the rare stallion from G4 in a G3 fiction how do I do that? Well... ya see I feel like no one noticed this unicorn since he wasn't shown but told about in the series. No one knows what he looks like and I can't wait to bring him into G3.

After a few months of writer's block, I'm finally able to write again! For how long, I don't know, and what stories I'll continue are a mystery even to me. However, I thought it would be nice to try a new story just to flex my fingers a bit. I think you'll find this new story to be a rather familiar experience to any RPG fans out there.

Or should I say strategy?

Mysteries. Everybody thinks they know what they are. I’m beginning to think maybe no one does.

Scholastic’s genre chart says:

Purpose: To engage in and enjoy solving a puzzle. Explore moral satisfaction (or dissatisfaction) at resolution. Consider human condition and how to solve or avoid human problems.
