...of my life, not of any story you can read here. I left my university for the summer, and on a whim took a cross-country road trip with my roommate. So now I'm spending the weekend at his family's house in Aurora, Illinois before I fly the rest of the way home. It's not every day that you stay in a city named after yourself.

Just a little one. Not much of an obstacle, when you think about it.

I don't know how you could be reading this if you didn't notice already, but Minoan Crisis is finally up. Gosh I've been working on this thing for months. Late November, I think is when I first started an outlining doc.

So I may have said earlier this week that I would have Minoan Crisis published by today-ish, pending my submission of the cover art to a contest that closed entries today. Well, that didn't quite happen. I mentioned I was sick in my last blog. What I didn't know at the time was that I had bronchitis, and an even more serious case of laziness. I also lost my sketchpad, so that kept things off for a while. I've also been

So my local Brony group is really active and organized, and one of the things we do is a free, weekly, hour-long writing class with volunteer teachers.

So I'm assuming a lot of you are familiar with the World-Building Alliance, a group dedicated to expanding the universe of MLP, figuring out details from show evidence and gathering various authors' versions of the world outside Equestria, focusing on non-pony races.

Through a combination of getting really sick of seeing people butcher Luna's archaic speech in their fics and happening to be studying the subject at the time, a few months ago I decided to make a simple guide to writing Luna dialogue correctly. I put it off way too long, and I'm not even sure it's relevant anymore, since Luna's rehabilitation has kinda passed as a fad in the fimfiction community, but here it is anyway:

If any of you actually pay attention to stuff I do (probably not), you might remember little mentions (like this and this) of a bigger story involving minotaurs that I was really excited to get started on. I'm still really excited for it, and it keeps looking better and better. Lily and Binary were both done really,

Browsing through Lauren Faust's Deviantart gallery of MLP Pitch Bible sketches, found out that back when Pinkie Pie was going to be a pegasus, she was going to fly everywhere upside-down.
