Hotshotting and a Theory on Creativity · 2:19am Nov 26th, 2014

Don’t mind me, just climbing on my soapbox again...

There we are.

Hotshotting, if you’re unfamiliar with the term, comes from pro wrestling. I’ll admit that’s a strange place to start a blog on writing, but given the staged (“fake”) nature of the business, pro wrestling has always had an element of theater and entertainment to it. The basic premise of “Two men don’t like each other, and people pay to watch them fight,” has sold out arenas across the world for decades.

It was a beautiful day in Ponyville. Pinkie Pie bounce merrily along on her way to library. She hummed a tune—

The Necessity of Failure · 1:20am Oct 12th, 2014

If I had a nickel every time I heard someone say nobody’s perfect, I’d have about three bucks. Seriously, a nickel isn’t worth that much. Regardless, the point of the saying still stands. I’ve heard how nobody’s perfect so often because it’s true. Whether you nod your head or roll your eyes when you hear it, we all understand it to be true.

War Games Ponies Play now has an extended ending. · 2:13am Sep 20th, 2014

By popular demand, one final chapter has been added. While this still may not be the ending many of you were hoping for (read: I did not torture, castrate, murder, or even officially demote Silver Wind), it does have a little more detail of the immediate fallout.

And Pinkie Pie. It has Pinkie Pie.

"Mr. Hooper, that's the USS Indianapolis." · 12:54am Aug 27th, 2014

If you’ve never seen this before, you’re welcome.

Where in the world do you start with this scene? In a movie credited with sparking shark hysteria for decades, this simple speech stands out as one the film’s most chilling moments. It’s hypnotic.

Changeling Biology · 11:37pm Aug 8th, 2014

Hello, and welcome to all the new people that have followed over the past week. I don't do the blog thing very often, but I have some thoughts to organize. Feedback would be appreciated.

As you can guess from the title, this will concern changelings. I'm currently planning out a multi-chapter story featuring a changeling as one of two main characters. This will probably end up as my longest story, so I want to get it right before cranking out words.

Story Promotion: Mother of the Moon · 1:41am Jun 11th, 2014

Given how high my number of followers jumped after my story I Chose You, I thought you all might be interested to hear of a new story written by my friend Noble Thought. Noble Thought, I hope you remember, helped me with the proofreading and whipped up the cover art for that story, and I had the pleasure to help them out with this one.
