Happy New Year one and all! May 2024 be an interesting one. I'm hoping to get back into writing more frequently - I've got plenty of ideas but not much time to write them though, so we'll see!

My grandfather passed away at 2:30 am on the 26th of October. It was not unexpected but still came as a shock. He was a loving, kind, thoughtful man; sometimes stern but always gentle. He had a wry sense of humour and always took an interest in what his grandchildren were up to. He was married to my Grandma for 67 years and 10 months exactly - they were married on Boxing Day. She is now, at 89, my oldest living relative, and I know how deeply she will miss him.

Today, the 8th of September 2023, marks a full year since the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who reigned for over 70 years, and lived for 96. Few have given so much in service of their country - her entire life was devoted to the United Kingdom and to the Commonwealth as a whole. I wonder whether, in her final moments, she experienced a sense of relief: Of a job well done, a task she undertook in her every waking moment - and the knowledge that her unceasing, unwavering service was

Sorry for the confusion, everypony - despite my attempts to explain to the contrary, the powers that be have decreed that the sequels to Spike Gives Twilight 'The Talk' aren't, in fact, sequels, and are instead chapters of the same story, in spite of this never being the case. So to avoid a ban from the site I have been forced to reupload them as chapters here.

Today I have reached that wondrous occasion known to many a pony as "The Heinz Event" - for I now have 57 subscribers!

Thank you so much to everypony who has followed, commented, or even just read my stories. It means a lot to me, and I hope to continue writing for the foreseeable future.

Stay safe, my little ponies!

Just a quick update on the progress for the next (and final)! part of the collection of short stories I've decided to refer to collectively as 'Starlight's Saga': It's almost complete, and should be submitted no later than tomorrow evening (Monday the 17th of March 2019)!

Till then, my little ponies!

For quite a while I've been working, on and off, on a story involving Starswirl the Bearded and his mysterious disappearance from the annals of Equestrian history, The Murder of Starswirl the Bearded, based partly on Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. However, with Starswirl's recent reappearance in the show, however sporadic that might be, the entire premise of the fic is thrown out, and I have thus been forced to cancel the writing thereof.

Well, what do you know - it's been twenty-seven months since my last blog post. Fancy that.

I've been rather busy with uni, you see. Mandarin Chinese is not an easy language to pick up.

But in those months I learnt something interesting. I have (among other things!) a condition known as 'aphantasia', which is the inability to picture things - in other words, I'm blind in my mind. (Note to self: Write a fic with that as the title. . .)
