The next chapter for PPBC is written and will release on Sunday as scheduled. It's all about what the ponies are up to when a day of training is over. You'll finally get the deets on dem sleeping arrangements, and a pony or two will drink a bit too much cider. Basically I'll be justifying that teen rating and the warning tags. I'm now technically ahead of schedule by a bit and If I eventually end up ahead by multiple chapters I'll start releasing faster.

So earlier this month I finally decided to jump in the brewing game and make my own alcohol.
I went with a cider, of course, since Hops in beer legit makes me sick.
Just last weekend I pulled my brew out of the fermentor, and bottled it. From what I sampled, it's missing something. That extra "zing" if you know what I mean. And it was kinda weak.

Dashie, I know you love the stuff, but y'all're so drunk, holdin' the mug is near impossible!

Random thoughts on waking up on the morning after nightmare night.

One of the peculiarities of the English language is that the word cider can refer to either an intoxicating liquid made from fermented pressed apples; or a non-alcoholic unfermented beverage of the same juice. Anything sold as cider in Britain contains alcohol. In North America, it is, more often than not, the other sort.

I've seen the joke about Rainbow being addicted to Cider, and by extension alcohol. The thing is, yes she was upset about not getting any, yes she appears overly eager to get some, but, that is only because she never gets any and either feels left out, or she got some once but never again and was upset about it. That scenario seems like it would lead to obsession, does it not. And besides, if anyone has an adiction to the stuff, it's Pinkie Pie. I mean, everypony else only got one

For those of you waiting to see how SSCS6k (never noticed how weird the title looked like that until now) turns out, fear not! An update is coming and it shouldn't take that long to make. Hopefully it'll be done in one to two weeks.

Just completed another milestone for my most ambitious story. It's something I started writing in July of last year (I have a lot of unfinished old stories), and have been working on and off but fairly steadily every since. I hadn't intended to talk about it, but having just reached one of my milestones, I though it sounded like a good idea to keep some sort of record of the progress I'm making on it. Maybe that will ensure that I actually finish it, unlike a lot of other crap sitting around

In going through my huge NaNo docs, I keep finding little scenes that I want to expand. They typically fill me with one of two emotions: 'Oh, man, I can't wait for my readers to see this!" and "Man, I used to be so good. Why can't I write like this anymore?" (sometimes both simultaneously).

I just finished watching Legend of Everfree. Maybe this is partially the accompanying cider talking, but I'm pleased overall, despite some gaping plot holes and continued hand-waving about how Equestrian magic is supposed to work in the other world.

I won't spoil anything.

Other than... if I manage not to have a cerebral aneurysm of rage while writing it, expect the most vicious review of my life.

...But just maybe! You see, when I start liking any kind of fandom, it doesn't last for a long time. One day I like MLP, one day some random anime. So, I might leave FIM.... And if I do, I'll come from time to time, just to check on friends I made... So just in case,if I leave, I would like to say thank you to some of you guys.

~The Descendant~ You helped me, and gave me a warm welcome to this site. I'll never forget it. Thank you!

Well, there we go. I guess this was bound to happen eventually.

I'm not going to be too philosophical about the whole thing. I'm only going to say that I've learned a lot as a writer from when I first started writing it - it was the second or so story that I started - and now I've learned a new lesson entirely: when to stop writing.

That's about as accurate a title as I've ever done. Apparently a software glitch caused Win10 to dissolve itself just enough to warrant a total format of the laptop. None of the repair options worked, and the whole C drive got wiped during a failed repair process. Now, I back-up a lot of things, but I don't do it every single day or every time I have something new to back up - I will now! - so you can see where this is going.
