Here's the deal, folks. April is exam month for me, and they're my last university exams, period. So even if I was planning on updating frequently, I wouldn't be able. Second, I'm not quite satisfied with what I've got outlined for the story. I want to do the best job I can with this story, so here's my plan: I will finalize the outline, get about halfway through the story, make sure it's as close to perfect as I can get it, and then I'll publish what I've got. So when you do get something, it

LoadeDeagle made the excellent point that the last chapter of Courage was a wall of text. As I said in my previous post, I'd been delayed by some bullshit I had to deal with, so he got me thinking. I was done the first scene of the next chapter, and it ended with what would be a nice cliffhanger. So, I finished up editing it and there you go! I hope you enjoy it. I've got to finish the next chapter of One Honest Mare before I continue this chapter in Courage, though, so if

I apologize to anyone who is looking forward to the next chapters of either Courage or One Honest Mare, as they are/will be late in coming. Some stuff's been going on that has left me emotionally exhausted, which I won't get into since I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm not normally one who lets his emotional state affect his work, but exhausted is exhausted. I'll do my best to have them out soon, but they will be done when they're done.

Long story short, I use songs as writing prompts, and if you think a song would be a good prompt for a chapter of Courage, please let me know in the comments.

So my mind was blown today. My HiE story with no cover pic, written purely as an exercise in comedy, made it to the feature box. I don't really know what to say, other than thank you to all of you who have read and favourited it. It means a lot to me. The only goal I have in writing these stories is to share my attempt at good storytelling with people who might enjoy them, and the fact that you seem to enjoy it makes me very happy. There aren't a lot of things that make me happy right now, so

Well folks, I've posted another story, and it's awaiting approval. Here it is, if you want a sneak peak at it. It's much different fare than One Honest Mare, but sometimes you just need to write something different. I actually really should have been working on an essay tonight, but sometimes I just need to write something I enjoy. It doesn't have a cover image yet, so if you have a suggestion, I would very much appreciate

Hey folks, it's me again. Would you care to help me name a character?

This may come as a surprise, given the serious tone of everything I've got posted here, but I'm one silly fella, possibly a little mad. As such, I am not capable of constantly writing serious material. So, expect to see a story where a human sings a silly country song to keep Sweetie Belle from crying.

Here's the thing. I love putting an absurd amount of effort into the little details when I make a setting. That sort of detail was one of my favourite things about Fallouts 3 and New Vegas: you could find unique weapons that had their own little stories, and I'm looking at doing the same for Applejack. I've decided that she's going to dust off her father's old revolver, and I need to figure out what kind of revolver it is. My choices boil down to .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum, and .45-70.

Well folks, I promised, and here it is. One Honest Mare has been submitted and is waiting on mod approval. I'm looking forward to writing the second chapter, but it won't be quite as quick as the first one. I have a fair bit of work to do this coming week, so don't expect it earlier than the end of next week. Thankfully, however, I am about halfway done chapter 3 (don't ask, it's a long story), so you won't have to wait long in
