This blog post might not come as any surprise given the last new chapter of anything I posted was a year ago. I meandered away from the site for some time, unsure if I would feel like coming back. I'm making this blog post because I'm pretty sure now at this point I won't want to write ponyfic any time soon. I really regret leaving A Darkened Land unfinished, since I did truly enjoy writing quite a few parts of that. Even including the mostly finished Arc 2, the story would still have some odd

After being silent so long I guess I should start by saying this isn't a gloom and doom type blogpost, heh.

Okay, maybe "kill you" is a bit overdramatic, but "clickbait" is sort of a theme of these blog posts' titles anyway so yeah.

I recently came back from Bronycan where I spoke on 3 separate hour-long writing panels. I got some pretty good words of encouragement from people saying they learned something, and actually in talking that much about writing I felt I learned something too.

I'm 4th year University student studying Computer Science. I'm into writing, art, programming, and game development. I tend to plan far in advance for the future, and previously I've mentioned A Darkened Land will likely be my last novel length fic.

I've been very busy lately with life stuff. Mostly trying to figure out which fork of the road will get me where I want to go.

I just noticed that it's been over a month since I made one of these bloggamajiggers, so I thought I'd make one where I talk about writing, art, and game development.

I will be putting this blog on my user page and updating it at least once per week with progress on the next arc of A Darkened Land. I just feel like it might be a good idea to have one, rather than wondering if the story is dead/on hold or not.

As some of you may or may not know, I took a brief break from writing during a rather heavy load of school work. It had felt like writing new chapters had become a chore, and so I stepped away for a bit. Sure enough, after spending some time away I redeveloped a writing itch and came back to it. Since then I've written a few more chapters and I thought I would give an update to where I am with arc 2:
