    Final Words Written!

    Finally. Finally I finished writing that fic. Don't know when I started anymore, but I do know that I managed to extend it to 17.2k words.

    Now, there is going to be an editing phase. With that many words…

    Don't expect it to be published anytime soon ^^'

    Anon is taking over EqG

    So it happened. There is an EqG fic where Anon is in a romantic relationship with an EqG character.

    I tremble in fear. My hands are shaking. Mom's spaghetti.

    How could the Anon authors do it? Why? That was the only thing EqG had over FiM, now both are infected by that green question mark dude.

    There is only one thing left to do to fix EqG:

    Did Words Today

    So I did want to write this whole week. To continue my fic.

    And yet puzzles kept me down from doing them. I even started coding a tent solver (as a small project, just to keep up my coding skills).

    But today was the day! Additional 2k words (and some more that I later deleted). The climax of the story has begun, and the fic will at last be finally written out.

    It's time to keep writing

    After four days of not writing anymore, I decided it was time to continue on my fic and finish it.

    Hence why I spent the next 2.5 hours on solving Chess Solitaire puzzles instead. :derpyderp1:

    So the site I do the tents and mosaic puzzles has several more logic puzzle types. One of them is chess related.

New Trixie Fic Out! · 3:04pm April 19th

Yep. I published a new Trixie fic. It's even an EqG one , the superiour show :trixieshiftright:

ESore Throat
Despite losing her voice due to a sore throat, Trixie has to go to school today. It shouldn’t affect her daily life much.

Anyway, despite only being up for about 12 hours, it climbed up to the top featured spot, and I want to thank all of you for the huge support you give with this fic!

Of course, being featured (at least from I gathered since 2022) is also a publish timing issue, which worked out here with not that many new stories published (for now). But regardless, none of it would matter without your engagement :twilightsmile:

All in all, I am glad that an EqG Trixie fic is being received so well. I could've turned it into an FiM story (it would play out the same and still get much more views and attention), but considering I don't write that actively anymore, I had set in the show I enjoy.

Fun fact: This fic emerged after I scrolled through my Google Docs drafts and found the file with the idea of a mute Trixie due to a sore throat. I then sat down on my phone (it was a bit after midnight) and wrote it all in one go after two hours.

No, I didn't publish it immediately after. PseudoBob Delightus proofread it thoroughly and caught several issues, giving it the much needed fix and polishing.

These moments of "creative flow in one go" is rare for me. I was basically figuring things stuff out on the go and how it would evolve, surprising myself with the end also (yes, it wasn't planned). This shows why I stopped myself from writing:

Time usage.

Imagine that these 2.3k words took 2 hours of non-stop writing. And now realise that this was very fast for me. (Somehow, I write best around nighttime.)

Writing fics is really time consuming for me. Why? Formulating sentence and finding words already takes time for me, now add to that English being not my native language. And the editing and proofreading process also then took time (I had to rewrite and reorganise some scenes). And for the quality I then give out which are only considerably good because someone else fixes my mistakes?

Yeah…

So, no, I'm not back to writing fics. Maybe I get an idea I find so great that I need it written down or get an inspiration. But I'm gonna keep it short.

Instead, daily tent and trees puzzles and mosaic puzzles it is. Even got to top 100 in some categories :ajsmug:

While I might not agree that EqG is better than Fim, I appreciate your explanation of the writing process for this fic. It was a very nice little read :scootangel:
