Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I am sharing my extended lyrics for "Equestria My Home." Let's get started!

Equestria, the land I love
a land of harmony
Our flag does wave from high above
for ponykind to see

Equestria, a land of friends
where ponykind do roam
They say true friendship never ends
Equestria, my home!

Equestria, where I adore
our skies teaming with life
Above the clouds on wings to soar
loyal against all strife

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I am exploring a crossover my sister suggested. I had a false start writing it as a first draft, but it didn’t feel like it could go anywhere. I’m iterating ideas faster than I can record them. Hopefully, I can come up with something worth someone editing into a story. Let’s get started!

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and this month, I've stepped back from weekly posts here. Let's get started!

As I said before, maintaining both a robotics blog and a writing blog is just a little too much for me long-term. I still want to do a little writing, so here I am, now on a monthly basis.

Good Morning from my Writing Lair. This is Shadow_8472, and today, I'm going to try writing a scene for a prospective fanfiction I want to at least toy around with without committing to a full first chapeter. Let's get started.

I've recently gotten the DLC for Kerbal Space Program. I want to try writing a scene or two and see if it turns into anything.

Everything throbbed as Twilight came to. Machinery whined in the background and ponies were screaming like something was on fire.

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, things are probably as back to normal as they will ever be. Let's get started!

I'm still not ready to return to writing. The past three weeks learning Micro Core Linux have been super intense. I'm even two weeks ahead on my robotics blog over it. I've learned a lot and become passingly familiar with operating at a pure command line interface. It's been intense, and... I'm tired. Happy Thanksgiving to any Americans!

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, things are still not back to normal. Let's get started!

The past week felt, for the most part, normal. The main difference is that I've been super-busy on my Robotics blog setting up a computer for a Minecraft server on Micro Core Linux. In the past two weeks, I've generated enough content for four weekly posts, and I'm not done yet.

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I'm still a bit slim on creative writing, but I have a few thoughts on the fire situation. Let's get started!

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I still don't have as much written as I'd like. Let's get started!

My Cheerilee story is about where it was a couple weeks ago. I found a perfect piece of cover art and got permission from the artist over a Twitter PM.

Good Morning from my Writing Lair! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I’m covering something a little different. This post is cross posted on my robotics blog. Let’s get started.

Fuel. Air. Spark. Master any one of these elements during a combustion process, and you have one of man’s most important tools. Neglect them together, and you have a recipe for a destructive force of nature.
