    The Knife’s Edge

    The other day I got a message from ZanarNaryon telling me they had created a TVTropes page for To Serve In Hell. Now, TVTropes can be a dangerous place to start reading, unless you have a few hours to spend getting lost in it. But if you want to check it out, please

    Not with a bang, but a whimper

    Hey friends.

    I didn’t used to believe in writer’s block as such. I always thought the phenomenon was a manifestation of something else in a person’s life. I also thought the cure for it was just to sit down and write any garbage you can. Editing should never mix with drafting, and if you can get yourself to stop editing, you’ll achieve more and better drafting—which can then be edited.

    Ping 2: Live and In Person

    Almost exactly 2.5 years ago, my family and I bought tickets to Whinny City Pony Con 2020. Of course there was no such con, at least not in a physical capacity. But good egg that he is, Charlie Worthley (con organizer extraordinaire) has made it effortless to transfer our tickets from that long-ago time to right now, despite all that’s transpired between.

    I live.

    Time's gotten away from me.

    2020 got weird. My 2021 started with an honest effort to get back to normal. But after I started getting treated for depression, I began to see more and more ways to improve things in my daily and family life that hadn't fit together very well in years. Including some of the core issues that had pointed me in the direction of MLP in the first place.

    Artistic Expression

    It's been too long. Things are great. Really, really great. Not so much for writing, but for different modes of expression and life.

Chaos Gate returns! (and writing update) · 6:13am Jul 18th, 2015

Please forgive my random non-pony commercial break, but I'm excited over here. Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate is one of the most engaging turn-based strategy games I've ever played, and it's finally available again via legitimate and not-super-expensive channels. It plays a lot like X-Com (old school X-Com... I haven't got around to the new ones yet), but it draws deep from the well of madness that is Warhammer 40K.

One of the most memorable aspects of the game is its music. It's EPIC (though kind of synth-heavy, which I'll admit doesn't hold up as well as it once did). But listen to that choir!

Anyway... I'm trying to avoid admitting that I probably won't get a story out this month, and I'm definitely trying to avoid admitting that I've been trying to maintain a goal of monthly releases. But with the way things are going, I should probably just call the month of July now and start getting caught up on sleep, instead of continuing to stay up late bashing my face against the keyboard. :derpyderp1:
