The Continued Background Ponification of an Ancient Politzanian: Deciphering Discord, Writing Wrongs, and Proofreading in the Pudding · 9:14pm Sep 20th, 2023

Hey, y'all! I continue to exist!

Here we are nine-and-a-half months into 2023, yet this is only my first blog of the danged year. As usual, I have been writing a lot; finishing things has been another story, I'm afraid, and that one's yet to be told. I've been content proofreading fellow users' works-in-progress in the meantime, and past a certain threshold, I got my hands so full with theirs that I couldn't carry mine.

Back from vacation… in the physical sense, at least. · 11:29pm Aug 24th, 2022

I'm still completely and utterly exhausted, so I'm going to keep this blog on the shorter, sloppier side of things, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I've made it back home safe and sound!

Airplane! · 9:59pm Aug 17th, 2022

So, long story short, I have some relatives I haven't seen since before the start of COVID. I've been meaning to find an opportunity to go out and visit them, and that opportunity opened up over the past two weeks.

And, well… I'm in the airport right next to my flight right now. If I'm reading my ticket correctly, I'll be boarding the plane in about ten minutes.

Here are some cool stories to check out while I work on mine! · 9:32pm Mar 1st, 2022

Well, I've gone two months into 2022 without posting anything here. Let's change that!

…So, yeah. January was a surprisingly busy month for me IRL, so I wasn't all that productive on the writing side of things. I was planning to get something done during the month's tail end, but the one-two punch of Seattle's Angels and the Royal Canterlot Library closing their doors knocked that wind right back out of my sails. It's been billowing on and off ever since, I'm afraid.

Thanks for reading Gone With the Light! · 12:57am Dec 18th, 2021

It took Familial Words, my previous most-liked story, over two years to get to 70 likes, and half of those only came about because I wrote a sequel.

Gone With the Light surpassed that mark in two days. Two. Days.

Welp, I've finally done it! About fifteen minutes ago, I submitted a new story for auto-approval, and as of right now, that very story is atop the New column:
