Jack of all trades, master of none. I've got too many ideas and not enough time, so expect few updates on a bunch of stories.

So I promised you all story chapters. I'm a bit late on that mark, but that's because I'm slow in finding editors. So I posted the prologue for Bringing Song to the Silenced for you all, edited only by myself. I also posted a short story, the Lay of Thrum, a story of love and loss (of lucky horseshoes) based on the Lay of Thrym, a Norse poem. Look for those after they've been approved!

Apologies and Checkers · 7:09am Sep 13th, 2014

Sorry to all of my readers for such a long absence. The combinations of a job, school, and theatre production made for poor writing conditions. The situation is getting marginally better, but I'm afraid I've lost my notes on As It Should Be. I've decided that I'll just write the final chapter, which is what I've wanted to work on since the beginning, and post that. I might add the intervening chapters occasionally as whimsy strikes me, and I recall their contents. Also, on the subject of As It

Idea Dump Month · 4:05am May 14th, 2014

So somepony who watches me might notice an influx of new stories recently. They might worry that I've given up on As It Should Be. Those people don't have to fear, I will still endeavor to update As It Should Be, but I'm just hashing out a bunch of story ideas that are bouncing around in my head for now. I've got too many ideas to adequately focus on just one, so I'm just popping them out now so that I can focus better.

Back into the Swing of Things · 7:17am Feb 5th, 2014

Hwlrglfrtdn I finally made my way through a set of writer's block, so you should be seeing a new chapter of As it Should Be soon. 'But Jack," you may cry at your computer screen. 'What was so vexing that took two weeks to get over?' Well, that comes down to a poor foresight choice on my part. I was having trouble coming up with a plausible reason for the first of a string of antagonists to begin antagonizing. It was, originally, a bad guy with ego issues. I finally realized, why did it have to

As It Should Be, and What It Was · 4:55am Jan 13th, 2014

Some of you may notice that As It Should Be has been demoted from mature to teen. I set out at the start of this story to deconstruct a few of the more wide spread happenings among the pony fanfics, one of which was the tortured hero that would cave under the friendship to copulate with a pony despite living their life as a chaste, unloved outcast. Originally, I would have had some sort of attempted sex scene, until I realized that Marwolaeth wouldn't have let things reach that point at all.
