Black Lives Matter. Good things are good, actually. I write about wizards and wizards' apprentices. 90% of prophecy is just pattern recognition.

Story Notes: The Wizard and the Griffon King · 6:46pm Sep 22nd, 2022

Another piece of the great work is complete.

This blog is going to be rather unstructured. I’m not sure how to begin.

I had the idea for this story already when I wrote the griffon assassin subplot in The Education. Earlier this year I was editing a chapter of The Seven Trials of Clover the Clever, got stuck, got inspired to write this instead – and kept on going right to the end.

New Story: The Wizard and the Griffon King · 6:40pm Sep 22nd, 2022

It's done, you guys. I have just submitted the story I've been working on for the past five months, and it should be up shortly.

It's a sequel to The Education of Clover the Clever, sort of, following up on the griffon assassin subplot. This story explores the question of just what went down in the meeting between Star Swirl and Griffon King Blaze that made the king send assassins to kill the wizard for decades afterwards.

Rainbow Dash is really working it today.

My phone camera is inadequate to this task but I do my best.

It really does look like a cartoon.

This seems like it has potential here. Anyone wanna get on this? FOME, Posh, Super Trampoline, PresentPerfect?

(Unless this is many years old and everyone's seen it already which, knowing Tumblr will be Tumblr, is entirely possible.)

Midnight editing thoughts · 10:08pm Jul 28th, 2022

Do you ever look at a key part of a scene, something important that has to pack a punch, and think "this is too short"? And then you look at it really closely, and you look at the scene around it, and think "Actually, this bit is exactly right, it's everything else that's too long"?

Does that happen to everyone or is that just me?

Anyone play Vampire Survivors? It's great, you guys.

I've been quiet here for a bit, so I guess it's time for an update.

Nice one, Celestia.

I realize now I should have moved just a couple meters up to get clear of the street light. Oh well, too late now.
