A lost little pegasus filly...

I couldn't get therapy earlier, so I wrote 17 books about my fear and pain using pony metaphors... Now, I write Sapphic romance for Amazon Kindle...

Twinkle Shine is one of my pony characters.
Why didn't she yell back at him? I would call him a fucking idiot. We're past civility here!

I got divorced earlier... But yeah, the trauma and history of substance abuse are definitely there!

Same, except I'm into Sapphic romance and hard science fiction... Incidentally, I'm also writing a Sapphic hard science fiction novel now... I can't really control it...

I normally just ask myself, "Okay, how will I reveal this to my reader? Who knows this and at what point would they bring it up? Are there any other ways I could reveal this fact?"

It really is a question of creativity and I've found some rather interesting ways to show things before...

Well, I wrote about 460 words and integrated a scene into my sci-fi novel. Not doing too bad!

Because we're told not be upset about Oz... Simple as that! They tell us what to be upset about... Ever read 1984 by Orson Wells?

This is also true! My newest character Abigail the child vampire is like that... The truth is, she'd be a horrible monster if she didn't have good reason not to, and at the same time, you feel bad because of what happened to her...
