Here's what I'm up to these days, along with a timeline documenting all the significant events in my life.
NOW
What I'm doing now
My main creative focus right now is deep in the outlining phase for the first book of a significant fanfiction project set in the world of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The story centers on a human protagonist who arrives mysteriously in Equestria, suffering from a profound amnesia that leaves him without a name or past. Adopting the moniker 'Anon' to navigate this unsettling void, he struggles to build a new existence in Ponyville. While he finds cautious acceptance and purpose, leveraging forgotten skills and forming tentative connections with the ponies around him, his journey is primarily internal. He's haunted by intrusive fragments—fleeting sensory details and powerful emotional surges—that hint at a life left behind, one filled with strong bonds, love, community, and ultimately, a deep sense of loss and betrayal. The narrative explores themes of identity formation, the weight of memory (even when lost), coping with trauma, and the profound search for belonging when completely adrift between worlds. You may remember my canceled tale ANONYMOUS: A Human in Equestria Story. Think of this as a complete reboot, leaving nothing left of the original idea.
However, writing is an ongoing struggle for me. I’m easily distracted, and the ability to edit and format as I go often results in my endlessly rewriting the first chapter of any story I work on. To combat this, I’ve been exploring alternative solutions, including investing in an eInk digital typewriter to help me focus purely on writing without distractions.
Beyond my writing, I’m fine-tuning my recently redesigned and rebranded website, David.ink—adjusting layouts, refining content, and making sure everything feels just right. There’s always something to tweak or improve.
I also keep a running snapshot of what’s inspiring me, featuring a mix of books, comics, movies, shows, and games. Lately, I’ve been diving into the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comics, revisiting classic and campy horror films from the '70s and '80s, and exploring the world of Baldur’s Gate III. Each of these, in its own way, fuels my creativity, whether through storytelling, atmosphere, or sheer entertainment value.
