Long time coming, admitting defeat · 5:48pm May 29th, 2017

Well... It's been something like 2 years hasn't it?

Ever since coming home, I've been pretty quiet on the writing scene. I always had time, but high-speed internet let me do so much more stuff that I kept getting distracted. Job hunting also didn't help, though not as big of a factor as one might assume. I've mostly just been terrified of letting people down, and this is probably the hardest thing to write. Nothing says letting down your readers like halting all work for good.

Spur of the moment decision? · 1:36pm Nov 11th, 2014

Spur of the moment decision.

I'm going to rewrite the Equestrian Knight trilogy, submitting one chapter per day until completion, so I can finally feel good about it and get back into writing.

You can't stop me.

It begins.

Today!

Please excuse this post... · 5:07am Apr 14th, 2014

...because I just wrote something I thought I needed to get out. I wrote it on Facebook, and I don't foresee it getting any interest here either, but I don't want it lost entirely. Also, some of you might be interested in what I have to say (not likely) but here it is:

On the Grammar of Publishing Houses · 5:52pm Apr 1st, 2014

I was in the store the other day and came across a book next to the checkout lane. There was a DVD of the same title next to it, but I couldn't be sure if the book inspired the movie or vice versa.

So... much... writing... · 8:10am Mar 7th, 2014

Hello, friends of the written word! I decided to make a quick blog post about Letters to Ponyville, just cause I wanna and you can't stop me.

So around Spike's second letter, I thought it would be a good idea to make a report. That way, everyone can understand the story without going all flip-floppity with the letter order. Well, who would have thought just how much information there would be that I'd need to sum up between those letters?

So, you're probably wondering where the hell I've been.

Uh... HEY, WHAT'S THAT?!

Now that you've calmed down, let me explain absolutely nothing and get on with what I was going to say.

I have a new story idea I'd like to work on, and I'd like you to join. If you don't, that's fine. If you do, that would be just lovely. Let me start with a clue:

Hello! · 4:14pm Nov 23rd, 2013

My fine fellows, how are you?

I have nothing of import to say, other than what you might have otherwise gleamed. My hand is free of its cast and I am working on getting my mobility back. This shouldn't come as news, as you may have noticed the increase in story writing. However, I do have a question for you.

Desires and Limitations · 11:19pm Oct 29th, 2013

Or, "Why breaking your hand sucks as an author."

Let's start this off with some good news. First, I'll be free of this cast in two weeks, freeing my hand enough to finally get to progress in my writing. Second, the desire to write has been building and I have a good idea of what I'll do when I can finally write without restraints. Now, for the not-bad stuff.

Accidents and delays therein · 6:00pm Sep 7th, 2013

I'm typing with one hand right now, and it is slow going. Allow me to summarize.

I was in an accident on Labor Day that gave me a concussion, a broken thumb on my right hand, and multiple abrasions. I have no memory on the incident (yay amnesia) from the head trauma, but my family reports I fell off my dirt bike.
