World Building: How much is too much? · 12:30am Mar 2nd, 2013

Building a world is a lot like preparing for a job interview you know isn't really going to matter. You pretty your world up, straighten its geography, brush out a few nasty stains on the map, and then shove it out the door and hope what you did works.

It happened. · 5:51am Feb 28th, 2013

I now have 100 loyal followers. Today FIM Fic, tomorrow... uh. A little more of FIM Fic.

Congratulations to Pilate for being the lucky 100th watcher.

To celebrate, I'm going to add another story to my 'to-do' list. It's going to be another one-shot: a prequel to the events of Whisper Sun, Silent Moon. It'll be good, I promise.

Never compare yourself to anyone · 6:46am Feb 22nd, 2013

You will never measure up to your own standards if you let those standards be defined by another person's success.

As a writer, that took me a while to come to terms with. I still struggle with it. Someone will always do something "better" than you, someone will always have "better" ideas and execute them "better" and people will leave "better" comments on their stories instead of yours.

You will always find ways to have done things "better."

My Thoughts on Alicornication/New Story Idea · 6:19pm Feb 16th, 2013

This episode was great.

Not as great as some.

But still great.

It was rushed, of course, and the whole time you could see the writers going "Okay, we gotta make her an alicorn. Uhhh. SONGS! FRIENDSHIP! MAGIC! DONE!"

Instead of Hearts and Hooves · 12:20am Feb 15th, 2013

I'm going to make a list of everything that annoys me in fanon.

1. Doctor Whooves. I've only seen a few episodes of Doctor Who and feel like the only person on the internet who doesn't particularly care for the show. There's more to explore here than "The Doctor in the world of ponies." Let's see more Time Turner here, bronies!

I never begrudge people success.

But seriously, how does that featuring system work?

Unfortunately I'm not making much headway on chapter 16 of My Little Metro. I have turned my attention mostly towards my new pet project: Unfinished. It will be shorter and much easier to finish rather than writing another book's worth of words for Metro.

Is writing "easy?" · 5:44am Jan 22nd, 2013

They say anyone can write.

This is not true.

In my time in the brony fandom as one of thousands of people on this site alone, and as a "casual" writer who hasn't published anything that brings in money, I've come to have this point of view that may or may not be correct...

The written word is often given a short shrift.
