A Note About This Blog

I used to be a writer. Unpublished, but a writer just the same. I have several 100,000 word novels sitting on my hard drive. Then I fell off a horse and got a concussion that scrambled my brains really good (yes, I was wearing a helmet.) After that forming a written sentence was very difficult for quite some time. It's still difficult, but at least now generally the sentence structure isn't egregiously flawed. Verbally and written wrong words pop in, I switch words around, and sometimes I make no sense at all. It isn't because I don't have knowledge of grammar and punctuation, but my brain simply can't do it sometimes. Reading this blog you're accepting that there's going to be things that look like typos or make no sense. It's not because I don't proofread, it's because my damaged brain doesn't see what's wrong. I try my best, but things will slip through. I don't need them pointed out, I know they're there, but if I continued to worry about them I wouldn't write at all. I didn't for quite some time. It's painful as a past master of words to use them so badly, but fortunately the words don't seem to mind.

A funny thing to check off the bucket list

There is something I've been wanting to do most of my life...

Order horse show ribbons :D

And I didn't want to just order your standard blue, red, yellow, white, etc. I wanted to make them interesting. And now, thanks to Pony Club, I was able to. Fortunately, the DC was totally on board with my unconventional choice.

Way back in elementary school art class I learned about the color wheel. In said art class we learned how orange and blue go together, red and green, and yellow and purple. The ribbons I just ordered? First is blue and orange, second red and green, third yellow and purple, fourth white and black. I didn't just get the standard rosette either, we went with the Iverson. I am super, duper excited and hope they don't end up being a poor choice. If nothing else they'll be super unique. I will show pictures when they get here.
