So I have no idea what I'm doing! But I've decided to start a discord server based on my little hot mess of an epic.

Come hang out!

(Mind the sawdust; it's still a work in progress, really.)

Yeah, I know, two years too late.

But as long as I didn't watch it, it wouldn't be over, right?

I think I held off until just before G5 came out for a reason. Now I don't have to wait a long time for new ponies.

(Loved the ending, by the way. Last Problem was great, Appledash forever!)

So remember that time a few weeks back when I mentioned in the comments that I wanted to go back to a once-a-week update schedule.

Yeah, I remember that.

Ever feel like you're being strangled by the crushing weight of your own inadequacies?

I still remember why I spent so much time in the park.

My wife and I were dating at the time.  We couldn’t see each other often; she lived a half hour away, and the struct rules at the Christian university I was attending at the time prohibited unmarried members of the opposite sex from staying over, or even being in our apartment after curfew.

First, some simping!

Last year, on May 19, I published the first chapter of Rekindled Embers. Tomorrow marks the one year anniversary of Chapter 1.

Wow. One year.

I've been thinking a lot of what I've experienced, what I've learned, and what I've done in the past year. So I thought I'd make a little blog post to share some thoughts about my experiences.

@applezombi1 on Twitter. (Apparently there's already another applezombi, so I had to add a 1. So much for being original...)

I don't know how frequently I'll be tweeting stuff, but I'll try to include updates/teasers for Rekindled Embers, maybe even story ideas, future plans, that sort of thing. Feel free to follow.

So Rekindled Embers is getting a Chinese translation, apparently!

User HMCpony asked to do the translation, and the first chapter is up here.

This honestly feels pretty cool. It's weird but good to think that other people could be reading my stuff in another language I don't even understand.

So yeah. We might be done with chapter 33 in time for an evening release. But maybe not.

My editor and I have been struggling with how to fix some of the problems with it for the last two weeks. We finally found the solution this morning: Cut a bunch of the crap and do some re-writing!

Needless to say, the suddenness of the solution means I may not drop it today. It might have to be tomorrow. We'll see, though. Sorry!

I was recently surprised with a bit of fan art from a reader, Speccer, who drew this incredible picture of Topaz Glitter!

I've added it to the end of the chapter, but I'm blogging it here.

Honestly made my day. I'm so grateful.
