Well, I had a bad day... · 4:12am Aug 6th, 2012

My computer's had a foot in the grave for the past few months now, and today it finally died.

Well, the OS died.

Either way, it won't turn on.

I'm working on getting a new PC, but at least for the next week or two I will have absolutely NO progress on fanfics (because I'm using my dad's laptop right now).

It is time to become something that I am not · 7:15am Aug 2nd, 2012

So as of tonight, I will be participating in the Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds!

I don't know if anypony knows this about me (or cares to know), but I REVERE artists! Seriously, we have an artist in my acappella group at NIU, and he's, like, my favorite person ever. If it's something that I've always wanted to to, it's learn how to draw. Without further ado, I shall begin to hone my nonexistent artist skillz.

A simple post to pass the time. · 1:59am Jul 26th, 2012

While I should be writing, re-writing, and revising, I am instead watching old stand-up videos of Sam Kinison, Bill Hicks, and George Carlin.

Best stuff ever.

I've always loved stand-up. It's one of four things I still use my television four, the other three being video games, ponies, and spongebob.

If anyone reads this, drop a comment! Who's your favorite stand-up comedian? I'd love to hear!

OR, tell me to get my lazy ass off YouTube and back to Microsoft Word!

And it begins... · 8:17am Jul 20th, 2012

A full revision/rewrite of No Matter How Dark is now underway. As I went over it, I realized exactly how badly it needs it. I think it'll be fun to relive the story again and perhaps flesh it out a little more. I just feel... untapped potential with the story. This rewrite is exactly what it needs.

As far as a sequel goes...

Finished revising Miss Mary · 10:19am Jul 13th, 2012

Sending it into Equestria Daily tonight... let's hope for the best!

Well, technically 'this morning' considering it's 5AM and I haven't slept yet...

Oh well! 'Tis the life.

Up next on the revision chopping block is either 'Don't Cry' or 'No Matter How Dark'

(most likely the former)

I am revising the CRAP out of Miss Mary. · 8:57am Jul 7th, 2012

Seriously, I have been at this for hours today. HOURS UPON HOURS.
And I'm only halfway done.
And that story is only about 13,000 words originally.
My goodness, I dread the day that I go through No Matter How Dark...

Hm... musings... · 6:31am Jul 7th, 2012

I figure...

If I'm ever going to become any good at something, I need to focus on it completely.

I know, duh.

I just have to either make a decision or settle for mutual mediocrity.

Writing fanfiction... or writing music?

FFFFFFFUUUUUUU

See, I love writing fanfiction, and it takes up most of my time, but music is my major and SHOULD be what I love most, even though it's not. Besides, there's not a whole lot of room in the brony music scene for a trombonist.

One down... · 10:52pm Jul 5th, 2012

I think perhaps another oneshot and I can begin the real work on my next project.
I wonder what it could be...
(as if I am popular enough to build up such dramatic tension)

Although, for now I believe I'm currently going to crack down and REALLY revise No Matter How Dark for possible submission to Equestria Daily. Who knows? Maybe they'll like it.
I have one more try for Miss Mary, and I believe they'll take it this time (but who knows with those prereaders...)

Biding the time · 4:35am Jul 3rd, 2012

Currently writing a oneshot or two to keep my mind stimulated before my next long story.
Just figured I should at least write something here... you know... because this is a site about writing and stuff...

...man, when I get writer's block, I get it BAD
