Exactly one year ago, I updated my first story.

It was a simple little thing. I knew I wasn’t good, nor experienced.
Sho I choose a simple topic I could relate to and wrote the simplest story I could.

I just read my first fanfiction again.
And it’s still beautiful.

The secret to becoming a great writer is to write.

I don't know who said that first, but that's okay. The secret to writing is to steal from others.

I do know who said that first. I was paraphrasing from T. S. Eliot.

Well, I'm writing. I may not be the best, but I'm getting there. Short silly fic by short silly fic. Thank you all for hanging in there as I try to get better.

Hello hello, everyone. I saw that some of my most favorite ponies in the world wrote some deeply moving analyses about their year, and let me tell you, they're the strongest ponies I know. My year... has been heck too. Not quite as bad as others, in ways, but I figured I may as well post about it. Ignore if you'd like, there are no story updates hidden here.

So for two years I've been dealing with something rough that has been causing me problems. It's pretty much ended last night with someone going around trying to dox me. That sucks but I have good news for all of you. To those that have been waiting on commissions, good news! I'll be blurring through them quickly now that the burden has been lifted.

Journal date 11/28/18 - Pony Words and pony music edition

Today, I rediscovered pony music in the form of PonyVilleFM and its associated webcasts. The ideas flowed like they haven't in years... Yeah. Years. Or year. I got Cake Thief done pretty quick (relatively) once I started writing in that story again.

Journal Date: 12/9

Today, I started on what will probably be my most serious romance to date. It's somber. But I want to write it because I feel it has a lot of potential for me as a writer to explore modes of thought and methods of delivery that I've only used briefly before.

The truth is not always surface deep.

Even the most powerful can't do everything for themselves. Do not assume a difficult request is always unreasonable.

Even the smallest sentiment can be life changing for those whom have nothing.

Often times those who have been abused or neglected need special care. Do not look down on them for being what they are.

There's nothing wrong with having a few drinks. Have too many and you'll lose your senses. Have too many, too often, and you could lose everything.

Even those who have done wrong in the past can still be a valuable addition to society if given a chance

Sometimes we all need a friend to confide in. Not to tell us what we want to hear, but what we need to hear.

The princesses are… I cannot even write the words! I found them lying there so peacefully! Oblivious to the perilous state our nation is now in! While I can only hope this was not somehow intentional… a way to get some much needed (and deserved) rest, the nation still requires leadership! As I write this, I have sent for the Hero of Light and await his arrival. He is next to lead Equestria through these difficult times. Should he decline, Captain Decimus will be informed later today

Dear Journal,

She… Cherry… she doesn’t remember me! I knew being forgotten hurt, but… this is just overwhelming! The love of my life doesn’t even remember my proposal! This has got to be one of the worst days of my life! It’s right down there with when my mother passed away! It’s like… like the old Cherry, the one I loved… died. Hopefully she’ll remember me soon!

Dear Diary,

Well… my plan from yesterday was a complete failure! I just don’t understand what went wrong! By my calculations, everything should have been accounted for! What could I have missed?! How can I make this work?! ARGH! More questions than I have answers for!

Dear Diary,

Arc is finally coming to tea! I’ve been planning this for some time now! If all goes according to plan, he won’t be alone any longer! Arc’s been a good friend to me… to my friends… and to Equestria! He deserves proper female companionship! Sadly, with Cherry gone, there’s nopony good enough for Arc in this land, myself included! I may not be much, but… I’m willing to give everything of myself to make Arc happy! Even… even my body and marehood…

Dear Diary,

My dad took me to something called a “mall” today. I’ve never seen so many stores before! Not even when we toured Canterlot! And these are all inside one BIG building! We were inside this really big store with a lot of clothes inside. Dad said something about me needing to wear girl’s clothes. Not sure why, but… I don’t know anything about being a human. It’s still a bit uncomfortable wearing these things, but… if I didn’t, I’d freeze here on Earth!

Whatever you may think of reading craft books, whether a waste of time, or going slavishly by the advice, and everything in between, I think it's a universally held truth that reading them, ingesting ideas from other authors about the craft we're all engaged in, churns the well of ideas within us.
