My deepest, darkest, secret... · 2:10am Aug 29th, 2012
...is that I'm terribly lazy. No, I haven't been horribly busy (until school started last week), and no, I haven't suffered recently from writer's block. I have plenty of carefully crafted beginnings or half-finished stories that'll never come to fruition. I just haven't had the willpower to put pen to paper, or finger to keyboard, or...well, you get the point. After work, all I wanted to do was sleep, read, or watch ponies or Doctor Who, so little was done. Also, I had to abandon a few storylines for various reasons. (For example, one I was actually pretty close to finishing, only to realize it's too meta. I may still finish it and post it somewhere else, since it's a decent story. Plus, it's more adventure than meta and what meta elements there are don't overpower the adventure elements.)
Anyway, I do, however, have a few BIG announcements:
1. I do have one story I am sticking with, although it requires me to re-watch all the episodes. It may take a while, considering the mountain of homework I've managed to accumulate by day FIVE of this school year. The first chapter should be published soon, depending on the workload, and if I go to Midwestria.
2. I need a pre-reader and an artist for one series, and a possible collaborator for another. Interested? Let me know, please!
3. This is the big news; I'm changing my name. I've felt for a while (pretty much within a week of picking it) that it doesn't reflect at all who I am. Once I finish making my logo, I'll be changing my name. I'll post once more before I do that, however, so don't worry.
Okie dokie lokie, it's about time I got back to work. Hopefully I'll have a story for you soon!

I changed my name too. I think it's best to go with something funny and/or positive. Also, you need a brighter, happier, more pony-related avatar.
You have to swear off watching TV (other than MLP) if you want to get much done in life ;)
Scrapping your own story ideas and/or false starts is a good skill. Most of my stories probably should have been scrapped or at least totally reworked before I posted them. Oh well, they were fun to write and I've been entertaining more people than I expected. I'll try harder with my future stories.
I'm a little busy with a ~50K word fic right now, but I'd love to co-author something with you or at least just bounce some ideas back and forth. I'm down with pre-reading for you too, once I get caught up on stuff.
