Happy Holidays, all!

Today (as in today at the time of writing, not necessarily the time you read this, but hey-ho) is December 21st. Also known as Winter Solstice. For the past half-a-year, the days have been drawing in, nights growing longer, as we wind our way towards the festive season and all that lovely jubbly stuff. And the shortening days, finally, end here.

*blows away the dust*

Okay.

*taps mic*

So uhh... yeah, it's been a while, right? Haven't uploaded anything in a while. Reason? I haven't had the spoons to write in a while. No ideas, no creative drive, nada. Much of the last few months I've just been... coasting by. Checking in here every now and then but really I'm just kind of in 'get-through-every-day' mode.

This one goes out to Lotus Moon!

With A Whimper was my entry into the Experimental category of The A Thousand Words Contest III, focusing on a future Celestia monologuing in anticipation of her imminent demise. Yup, cheerful...

Howdy folks!

Today marks a pretty cool occasion!

Firstly though, I want to talk about Scotchtavia and The Morning After. To this day, they are still the most successful stories I have ever written. I get notifications regularly about people favouriting them. Ten years later.

Seeking Pre-Readers! · 6:28pm Jun 29th, 2024

Howdy folks!

I think the title is fairly self-explanatory.

In short, the way I write has fairly consistently followed the same formula for as long as I've been doing it:

  1. Write story.
  2. Check story for mistakes.
  3. Post story in unpublished view.
  4. Re-check for mistakes.
  5. Publish.
  6. Spot more mistakes.
  7. Time passes.
  8. Re-read story after said time passes.
  9. Spot even more mistakes.

Phew!

Time to let my keyboard cool down for a bit. Having never entered one of the Thousand Word Contests before, I decided 'ah heck, might as well enter in all categories', which as of this morning is what I have done! Huzzah! Also ow, my hands!

May the Eighteenth be with you... or something, I'dunno.

The end of May might seem like an innocuous time to most. Yeah, the weather is getting warmer (as long as you're in the right hemisphere), and we're drifting closer to the longest day of the year (I live a stone's throw from Stonehenge, they love solstice there), but for a certain group of individuals, we're ramping up to the most exciting time of the year.
