<insert Rainbow Dash fangirl squee here> · 12:18pm Aug 10th, 2012

So there's this program that's a part of Everfree Radio called Reading Rainboom that does readings of fanfiction with their own group of voice actors and actresses.

I know this because I was contacted by one of the coordinators for the show just last night and asked if I'd give my permission for A Simpler Time to be read on their show.

I put on my wizard hat and cloak... · 12:46pm Aug 5th, 2012

Writing isn't the only thing I do to relax. I'm also a gamer. I like cooking. I've been an animation fan for two decades now. And most recently I added pony role play to that list of distractions.

I won't be surprised if I check my list of followers after this and find everyone's dropped me for that last admission, but on the off chance you're still reading this hear me out.

Carl Sagan, Complete Disbelief, and Current Creative Projects · 12:47pm Jul 25th, 2012

My latest one-shot is up for everyone's consideration and, hopefully, entertainment. The idea came to me months ago when I saw pony artist Esuka's picture depicting filly Twilight peering into a telescope next to a ponified Carl Sagan. A brief story bit formed in my head and I wrote it out as a comment to the picture. A few weeks ago, Esuka finally responded to said comment with how much they liked it. After asking Esuka's permission, I crafted the rest of the story and used the picture as

Yes, I would like fries to go with those words please. · 5:54pm Jun 21st, 2012

Just a quick one here for those of you who might want to know.

So remember one blog post ago where I completely dismissed ever getting featured on EqD again?

Turns out A Simpler Time is getting the green light this time, at least according to the message I just got from them.

Color me surprised. And a little embarrassed as well. Can't help but wonder what the EqD crowd will think of the story, assuming most of them haven't read it yet.

My Advice to FiM Story Writers · 1:23pm Jun 18th, 2012

If you're reading this and happen to be someone thinking about taking a stab at writing your own fic for MLP:FiM I want to give you two pieces of advice for your consideration.

1) Have fun and be fearless.

2) Don't bother trying to submit something to Equestria Daily. It's not worth the frustration.

Whoa... · 2:13pm May 1st, 2012

So I logged in to my account here for the first time in a while to see if folks have been checking my stories out. I'd say I feel a bit overwhelmed, but that really doesn't do it justice.

Getting Back on Track · 4:05pm Nov 29th, 2011

Things have calmed down considerably from the beginning of the month and after taking some time off from writing for both the Thanksgiving holiday and to recharge my own batteries a bit I am pretty well ready to get back to turning some stories out. My apologies for the delay, but I'm sure I don't have to explain to anyone how life can get in the way sometimes.

Well that was a little slice of Hell · 3:09pm Nov 9th, 2011

I'll spare the gory details and just let you all know my radio silence as of late has largely been due to a family emergency that is now over. I hope. Parts of me are still on high alert right now, but things are starting to get back to normal. Still, that was a week out of my life that felt more like a year.
