An unorthodox update · 2:34am Sep 4th, 2020

I've been feeling like Dreamers just wasn't hooking readers enough with it's original title, so for now I've decided to go ahead and rename the story so it hopefully grabs attention more. I'm going to see how this goes for a while, and if it doesn't stick I might just revert back. This is a story that I've been trying to get more attention on and just haven't been lucking out with, so hopefully this at least helps.

September Update · 5:12am Sep 3rd, 2020

There’s really not a whole lot to say for this month. I’m dealing with some personal loss which is making it hard to find motivation so I’ll probably only wind up working on Dreamers for right now. That’s become my favorite story and it’s been my escape from real life stress for a while. I really enjoy writing it out even if it doesn’t get the comment activity I really wish it would get, and I’ll probably shift focus to that for the foreseeable future. I might poke Stardust and New Horizons on

Dreamers Updated! · 7:22pm Aug 28th, 2020

Just a quick update, I’ve updated Dreamers and hopefully made it easier to pick up, and a little more engaging. There were a lot of things I was unhappy with with the original first chapter and I’ve wound up splitting that up further, so now there’s a separate prologue that better establishes what’s going on and serves as a better lead in to the dream stuff. I also cut part of the beginning that touched on and explained something that didn’t serve much in the way of pushing the story forward.

Asking for Feedback · 8:37am Aug 21st, 2020

So I’m going to more or less get straight to the point with this one. I’ve been writing for around two years now, and I struggle with getting any kind of regular comments on the majority of my stories. It’s starting to get to me a lot more than it used to, and I really just need feedback. Writing is my way of relieving stress from my day to day life, and life’s been rougher than usual lately. As a result, I’ve been getting more attached to my writing than I usually am. I’ve been trying so hard

New New Horizons · 10:13pm Aug 14th, 2020

So here’s an unorthodox idea: New Horizons has a few very long chapters, and right now my plan is to break up those long (10,000 word+) chapters into smaller chunks. So you’re going to wind up getting a big burst of new chapters in one day, but they won’t really be new. Just existing stuff that’s broken up into smaller pieces. So why am I doing this? To put it simply, I don’t feel like the story is as approachable as I want it to be, and breaking the big chapters up into smaller ones at least

Lost Story: Dreams and Reflections · 10:14pm Aug 9th, 2020

Every once in a while I'll write something and then just abruptly decide to cancel it before it's even been finished. I wound up writing something about dreams that was inspired by some personal thoughts and reflections along with my own dreams, and it's one of those stories that I was on the fence about publishing. So I'm going to compromise and post the first two (tiny) chapters here, and if people actually think it's interesting I might go back into it and work on it more-- make it something

Another round of updates. · 6:54am Jul 15th, 2020

We’re nearing mid month soon and I’m trying out something different with how I go about writing and releasing updates. Previously I would just work on whatever I wanted to work on and that led to me just ignoring some projects in favor of working on others, and I was really starting to feel like I wasn’t giving some of my stories the love they deserved. My new plan going forward is that each day is devoted to one of three stories. So for instance, Monday and Thursday is when I work on New

The Ride Never Ends · 12:27am Jun 18th, 2020

So someone shared the pony life trailer with me earlier and I figured it wasn't batty enough, here's this horrendous creation I willed into existence back when it first got teased :p

As far as I know this was the first bat pony OC that was drawn in the pony life style, I guess that's my mark on the fandom :D

June Updates · 2:57pm Jun 9th, 2020

We’re in June already and time just feels like it’s flying by at an unbelievable speed. So let’s get into the updates for this month:

New Horizons - I should have another chapter out for this one by the end of the month. I’m starting to pick up speed on it but I’ll still need to finish and edit it. After that there’ll be at least one more chapter but then likely some delay as I work on the next big arc for that story that’ll start to pull us toward the endgame.
