I will be participating in NaNo this year. No pony stories. The challenge:
To win NaNoWriMo, participants must write an average of approximately 1,667 words per day (69 per hour, 1.2 per minute) in November to reach the goal of 50,000 words written toward a novel.
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.
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.
Hey guys, here's a friendly reminder that I've got a patreon you can donate to if you want to support me. Depending on the amount you pledge, you can get access to cool perks like early access to stories, music and stories made just for you, proofreading privileges, and free promotion! I'm trying to use the money I make from my patreon to fund trips to things like conventions, so it'd be super cool and helpful if you donated even just a little
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.
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.
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."
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.
Okay, I'm not changing the story status because, frankly, I've gone far longer between updates without changing it before, but Legacy is going on hiatus for a month or so. Maybe six weeks at worst. The reason? National novel Writing Month.
That was the bad news.
The good news is, my NNWM project is Legacy.
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... 
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. 
November is fast approaching. And lots of stuff happens in November. Thanksgiving and election day are the noteworthy American events. (My fellow Americans, don't forget to vote!) But another event happens in November, one I'm sure some of you will recognize.
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...
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.
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
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.
Seriously. That Animated Short was awesome. And the presentation during the opening ceremonies? Beyond epic. The moment the “Global Launch” retrospective glitched, I knew what they were doing and basically had this expression.
Hey, remember that time Celestia beat Chrysalis without even trying? And then revealed everything that’s ever happened in the show has been part of her plan? And then she flew around Equestria solving every problem and Luna popped out and gave you a blowjob?
No?
Well, shit. I wonder why.
…That’s pretty much the entire blog explained in exactly fifty words. A more in-depth analysis on this subject after the page break.
