IN WHICH I ANSWER A QUESTION
Greetings, all. Before we begin today, today's MV will be… Clapton.

Now, on to the show…

Warning! Rambling blog post about writing ahead! If that isn't your thing, you've been warned!

Okay, now that we've cut our audience by 90%, let's talk about writing things we suck at.

IN WHICH I CAN'T BELIEVE IT
Note To Self: A pot of coffee will make the part of the brain that makes writing happen function, apparently. Also, living on a heavily forested hill gets annoying when all your trees are deciduous, leaves are fallen and wet, and your driveway slants at a steep angle -- this is the second time in as many weeks I've had to rake my driveway. So...

IN WHICH FRIDAY NIGHT
Hi! It's Friday night, and I've been writing more Sunset Shimmer and Rarity. I may have to split this one into chapters, but I don't want to. For the record, I often tell people I work well, not fast. Why not follow me past the jump? I promise not to bore you too badly!

IN WHICH I DO A PROJECT & WRITE
Now that I have a new lappy, I need to get all my music - over a hundred albums, many of which are on physical CD - burned onto my 1TB external SSD... using an external optical drive... the lappy merely acts as a go-between. Lately I've been thinking about the writing process again. Click text for insights of a crazy man?

IN WHICH I APOLOGIZE TO YOU
Aside from a few blogposts (including this question), I regret that November has gone by with no new story content from me. That doesn't mean I sat on my butt the whole time -- actually it does, but that's also my writing position. Anywho, I'll explain past the jump.

IN WHICH ONE IS ALWAYS LEARNING
Over the past week, I rented at the public library three of the greatest movies ever made -- the first two Godfather films and The Seven Samurai. I enjoyed the hell out of all of them. It makes me wonder what if anything they can teach me about how to improve my own writing. Let's find out...

IN WHICH NEW YEAR HAPPENS
A couple days late, but Happy New Year, y'all! Here's to hoping this year is better than last (which was itself better than 2016, a.k.a. the worst year of my life). Anyway, I have things to discuss beyond the jump, if you'll follow me.

IN WHICH I PULL AN ALL-NIGHTER MAYBE
I'm a tad upset with myself. I've started my Mayor Mare short story -- its title is Non-Adventure in the Crystal Empire -- and I made some progress, but it's not ready yet. The reason I'm upset is because I had last year's Mayor story completed a week before deadline. This won't be. Sigh. Let me tell you about it.

IN WHICH I NEED A VERB
Hi all. Work continues slowly on my Sunset fics. Meanwhile I listen to many genres of music. Including this…

IN WHICH WHY AM I AWAKE NOW?
The other night I was at the gym and this MV came on. For its time (1989), it's pretty impressive with its CGI integration.

It's also an obvious homage to Little Nemo. Anyway, I have a few words to say below the jump if you'll follow.

IN WHICH I UNINTENTIONALLY LIED
So, I said my next blogpost would be Author's Notes for my latest Sunset story. That's obviously not the case, and I'm sorry. However, I am working on the story right now. I'm not pleased with its flow currently and may need help. Still, I feel y'all deserve an update even if I'm failing. Follow me past the jump.
