Writeoff Confession Time: I wrote On The Natural Rise And Fall of Celestial Bodies which has now been published on FimFiction. I have said before that I cannot write a deep, thoughtful feeling fic about a funeral without having a whoopie cushion somewhere in it. This only goes to prove my point.

As much as I think I'm doomed with the attempt, I'm going to try doing Equestria Daily's National Pony Writing Month this year, although with a lower goal than recommended. If I hit my goal, I'll be happy. If I reach 50k, I'll be amazed. If I double my goal… my wife will take away my computer, most likely.

Here's what I'm sending in to Equestria Daily:

Before anything else, I'd like to plug (Facebook link)National Bat Week, an event put on by the Organization for Bat Conservation, Bat Conservation International, and the National Forest Service to raise awareness of our little nocturnal friends and the role they play in the ecosystem. National Georg-graphic (sorry, couldn't help

I'm going to break my rules on this. I've got an idea for a story somewhere between The Jungle Book and Tarzan, but it's Nightmare Night centered, so it would be best if I release it this month. Unfortunately, I can't write somewhere around 20 chapters in 20 days, but what I can do is to tease out the first chapter and torture all of my followers by not releasing the rest of the chapters (as I write them) until it's all done. Yeah, I'm a horrible person. Here's the synopsis, and a snippet

Just wanted to drop a note to remind people that I'm still writing on The Traveling Tutor and the Royal Exam, and that I really don't want to start releasing chapters until I can hit the END (which is about 30 hours from the attached clip below):

(Wasn't that a nice segue into the short snippet? Caution: Cliffhanger ahead.)

First, I'd like to thank Chris and his site, One Man's Pony Ramblings for a nice review of The One Who Got Away. I like to think it's one of my better stories to date, even if you don't adore cute little unicorn-seapony fillies with big eyes. There will eventually be a Huck Fin/Tom

Subject says it all. I've got a seapony romance (Hey! Stop thinking that! It's G rated!) that I'd like to start publishing next Saturday, but it most probably needs some critical looking and pointing to fix some of my more dumb mistakes. I've only got little dribs and drabs of time over the next week (this weekend, I managed to get online for a half-hour, and this is it) so I thought I'd metaphorically cast my line into the lagoon and see what bites. Drop me a line if you'd like to sign up

Just a quick blog post to plug Winston's Fanfiction Writing Guide.

In my never-ending quest to write righter, I'm always on the lookout for helpful bits of advice. (Particularly when other people ask me for them, and all I can think of is how to get them to ask somebody else.) I think you will enjoy reading his guide and will get much more out of it than if I were to try writing something like it.
