Hey! I did a thing! · 2:09am Dec 2nd, 2022
So, I decided “why not” and started a Ko-Fi page. I figure it can’t do any harm. It’s completely voluntary, and I might as well be making a passive income.

I’ll admit it, I have a soft spot for music criticism videos. I watch all the Diamond Axe Studios and Todd in the Shadows videos, and I’m a fan of Mic the Snare. It could just be my special interest and lack of knowledge of other media critics, but music critics seem less driven by things like rant and skit comedy (unless you’re A Dose of Buckley; I never watch his music criticisms anyways), and more set on explaining what’s good about a song and what’s bad about it.
This is my fourth year of being on FiMFiction. This may not seem like a big deal, but when most of your friends have younger accounts than you, you start to feel like an older presence.
I also have 99 blog posts, and I wanted to do something special for my 100th. I know 100 blog posts don’t mean much, but all FiMFiction numbers are arbitrary, really, and I wanted to discuss this.
I’m mainly writing this so I don’t forget it, but I’ve noticed recently that everybody seems to have a Discord server. There’s nothing wrong with having a Discord server, and I’m in several, but a lot of them are just friend circles and whatnot. However, I’ve also been watching a lot of smaller channels, channels like French Baguette Intelligence and MissieMae, and even despite being a small channel, the FBI server is so argumentative and active that I had to leave so my mental health wouldn’t
I haven’t uploaded anything recently. That’s because I’ve been working on a pretty sizable project that’s going to keep me occupied for a while. I was planning to work diligently on that until I finished it, when it would be uploaded at a pace of one chapter a week until conclusion.
A long time ago, well, a couple years, but basically forever ago when going by my FiMFiction, I wrote a story.
Nothing surprising, hell, I’m working on a long one right now (and that one is turning out to be quite long). But following The Endless Cycle, I wrote a story called Sitting on the Dock of the Bay, inspired by (Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay, which is a song I love a lot. The story itself, is nothing spectacular, I was still finding my voice.
I haven’t uploaded any stories recently, and I want to write a short Blog Post explaining why.
Bear in mind that I’m still participating in plenty of contests, I just don’t feel like uploading them at present (though I might upload my most recent work soon).
I haven’t lost my drive for writing, and in fact, that’s exactly why I haven’t uploaded anything recently.
This story sure took a while, didn’t it?
Well, it’s uploaded now, and despite its disappointing reaction, I’m still going to talk about it.
Sometimes, you’ll write a story that hits the highest marks on your own personal grading scale, and that’ll become the standard to judge future stories by until you write another story that exceeds is. For me, Raining. is that story. I feel like it took everything I had formed my writing identity around, and just did it the best.
