    Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining.

    You probably know how this sort of thing goes. There you are, mowing your grass on a day that can't decide whether to shine or drizzle on you, a few years and counting into your non-writing streak. Whatever thoughts you're having are at the expense of your lawnmower picking a fight with every passing tuffet and losing.

    Tyomnaya strana

    Just as alicorns descend upon parched wastelands bearing storms and seeds, so too do kindly translators upon my horsewords. Dark Country's received a Russian translation by the kind efforts of

    On Brains

    A nice breezy dialogue to ease in with:

    CARABAS’ COMMON SENSE: So, a hypothetical conservation for you.
    CARABAS: Two lines in and we’ve already got fictional discourse nested in the initial fictional discourse. Gosh, I must just love to live dangerously.

Be still, sad heart! and cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining. · 9:34pm April 13th

You probably know how this sort of thing goes. There you are, mowing your grass on a day that can't decide whether to shine or drizzle on you, a few years and counting into your non-writing streak. Whatever thoughts you're having are at the expense of your lawnmower picking a fight with every passing tuffet and losing.

Except for when your horse-poisoned brain fixates briefly on the weather, and a half-remembered image of Rarity sadly regarding her handiwork in the sky circa Magical Mystery Cure comes to mind.

And then you think there's something to written about there.

And later, when you're taking your dog out for her perambulation, you ponder what that could be.

And then the best writing day you've had in years happens, just like that.

Something to be Weathered has been unleashed on an unsuspecting world, and it's very much of a likeness with Starscape from back in the day. There's a certain applicability to parts of it with regards to my own lack of horse-words over the last era. There's a great deal of Rarity, which is a fairly reliable way of redeeming anything. There's a Sweetie Belle there too.

Is this a comeback? Will other new stories be written, or old ones resumed? I've no idea. But the lion's share of two thousand words just emerged this eve when I parked myself in front of a keyboard. Let's rule out nothing.

(Let an appropriate share of credit be given to Monochromatic for this existing. Her keenness to see me write again played a key role in keeping the writing spirit alive, and the armed mercenaries she sent to menace my fingers and loved ones till words happened were courteous professionals with whom it was a pleasure to work.)

Good luck, whatever form it may take here. :)

Much obliged! :twilightsmile:

the armed mercenaries she sent to menace my fingers and loved ones till words happened were courteous professionals with whom it was a pleasure to work.

You love to see professionals at work. And welcome back n_n

Well, if that's what it takes, I'm going to have to get in contact with my local Landsknechte. :raritywink:

I'd have left them a five-star review, if they'd left my hands in any sort of shape to dispense reviews.

There'll come a point where the mercenaries'll have to form an orderly queue, and arrange among themselves what parts they get to menace. Maybe there'll be a bidding system. They'll know their own trade best.

Very nice to see horse adjacent words from you :twilightsmile:

Nice to be in the horse-adjacent word business again, and to hear from you. :twilightsmile:

Good to hear more from one of my favorite authors.

Glad to have something semi-worth hearing after all this time. Hope you've been keeping well as well. :twilightsmile:
