So. It's been a while.

Something something long delays · 6:44am Jul 24th, 2016

What even is everything. I've been dragging my feet for way longer than I ever wanted (or planned) to. Between weddings, graduations, ridiculous deadlines, and inexplicable periods of bleh, it's safe to say I was a little optimistic four months ago about getting the ball rolling. All those times saying "I can't do it" and "maybe tomorrow" add up fast.

Getting a fresh chapter squeezed in for Pi Day was my main goal this week. Mission accomplished! Pinkie would be pleased (probably).

I Aten't Dead · 7:41pm Dec 31st, 2015

So I haven't exactly put out much work over the last few months. I'm really sorry about that; between my laptop breaking all the time, the freelance work piling on, and general ennui and angst, I've been dragging my feet like a snail getting drunk on molasses. And not even good molasses, but the sludgy kind your grandma put away in the back of her cupboard fifty years ago and promptly forgot about. Now there's gunk everywhere and the slimy gurgling vermin are caught in a sucky deathtrap like

On the Other Side · 2:55am May 20th, 2015

By which I mean graduated, not dead. The grass isn't as green as I thought it'd be, but there's still grass, so I'm good with it.

I'm doing some freelancing, which will take up quite a bit of my time, but I should still be able to make time for writing about magical horses. With any luck, we will see more of Luna being evil and Pinkie getting killed before too long.

Once More unto the Lame · 8:02pm Mar 20th, 2015

So it's that time in the semester again, when I have to do papers and analyses and such. In addition, I graduate this April, so there will be much searching to figure out what to do next. So basically I won't have any time to write for the next few weeks, as my life will be a minefield of business. Sorry about that! I will do my best to get back into the writing game, but for now I make no promises.

The Writing Train Chugs On · 10:07pm Dec 15th, 2014

With that semester out of the way, it looks like things should be smooth sailing from here. So while I am still a lazy bum who spends more time reading than writing, the difference should be a little more balanced now.

I even have a couple new projects in mind that might be interesting. (No, this doesn't mean I'm abandoning Diary and Overgrow.) Have an excerpt from one of them below the break.

Revenge of the Hiatus · 11:26pm Oct 29th, 2014

Since my senior paper is due in December, I have to get cracking on that. Which means easing off the gas pedal on writing ponyfic. It's unfortunate, but that's how it is.

I'll probably still be around reading fics and adding them to my silly bookshelves, but that's a case of me being a terrible slacker. And maybe having the occasional reward for working on the science of adaptation. But mostly slacking.

How to Name Your Pony · 2:24am Aug 28th, 2014

A new semester might be coming up for me, but that's no reason not to think about ponies. So here is some stuff about pony names, because my blog needs something even slightly more interesting than my excursions to Olive Garden. And the site in general needs OCs who aren't named Shadowblade or whatever.
