It says something that I now have 100k total words written on a story that I started as just an exercise. With that in mind, I would like to announce that Emerald will come out of the closet next week. No, not that kind of closet. A real (or pony-fictional) closet.

Loonycon and Ponyfest were a lot of fun, but back to work. I have four chapters in The Substitute Librarian completed and will start posting them on Monday.

As I doodle notes and bits for various projects under construction, I am inspired by the strangest things. It's raining outside.
