I haven't written a romance that's primarily about someone falling in love with Fluttershy. I guess it's because I'm so sold on TwiDash, which is borderline canon and doesn't need a ton of development.
But. Being in love with Fluttershy is, like, my number one fantasy. SO. Maybe I'll do one of those.
Like, soon.
So having come back to FIM I decided to start reading through all of my old material, looking through crashed stories I've rewritten 6 times and some where I just hit a dead end. I also began reading through my own blogs as well as comments from long past. It was a very...enlightening experience. I noticed a few trends in my writing which I found to be a huge flaw throughout every draft and story I've created. I only took a concept, and tried to make a strong introduction and a strong ending
This'll be a short post, it's been a pretty busy weekend for me. We found out Friday that they're going to release my mom sometime this week, but unfortunately not into a rehabilitation clinic. Apparently she can't go to any because she doesn't have insurance, so they're sending her home.
I've been pestering everyone for so long about my problems (both writing and otherwise) when I should be focusing on self-improvement. That's why I've decided to stop turning others off with my problems and focus on others, how they feel, and how I can get better for both them and myself. Thank you all for helping me realize this and for all the helpful advice you've given me over the years. I appreciate it.
Where have I been? Focused on getting another novel out the door.

My book "The Rising World Company" is out! This is a sequel to "Rising World", the story of a modern engineering student who's sent to a fantasy world and becomes an inventor. He uses magic crystals for steampunk engines, and researches airships and machine tools along with spells.

Step 1: Start writing. "This is gonna be the best thing ever!" You think to yourself. "A magnum opus right out of the gate!"
Step 2: Write only a third or so of the darn thing before losing interest/getting caught up in life.
Step 3: Start writing again a couple years later, now older and wiser (?) and with more knowledge/experience of how to write.
Step 4: Decide to take a look back at your old work.
Step 5: Cringe.

It's my next proper novel length story, first ten chapters dropped today, the next few over the next few days. Then a little bit longer after that as we get into the unwritten parts, but hey, that's how Moonfic worked out too, yeah? This one's closer to the end at least.
I often make references to the idea that writing is a constant quest for self-improvement. It requires self-reflection and self-critique. But there is a limit to this. After a certain point, self-reflection and self-critique always suffer from a lack of perspective. There's a reason you get reviewed annually at most jobs.
Take my love
Take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care
I'm still free
You can't take the me from me!
Take me out
To the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land
And boil the sea
You can't take the me from me!
There's no place
I can't be
Since I've found Serenity
But you can't take the me from me!
So, I've been leaning hard on certain models while laying out my story, and cheating as the needs of the narrative dictate for the details. Nobody needs to get the exact layout of, say, Bison Country, or how much of a Western Sea there is out past the far west. Especially since the way the story's been breaking, we're never going to lay eyes on an actual bison.
Another weekend blog entry. I'm not sure why I wait till Sunday to actually spend time collecting my thoughts. I've spent this weekend coming up with different ideas for stories and I've got about nine just begging to be started. Now the hard part is to pick and choose which one it'll be.
Pull up a chair. Listen to some good music. It's going to be a long one, folks.
A short informal essay on the issue of drinking a little too much, moderate pain and minuscule reward, and pondering why someone would keep doing such an act. A bit of a character study; a bit of why we should trust in our feelings.
Find out more below the break.
I'm putting a bunch of stuff into the works and going gung-ho for Patreon and those who support my Patreon. Patreons will get to see updates before anyone else and get their names upon the wall of awesome people.
Texas is a state of pure fire in the summer, usually 100 degree heat everyday. This year isn't so bad thankfully, though I can't stop wishing for the fall. The heat doesn't necessarily bother me, as I've grown accustom to it over the years, more so than other people. However, since I started writing I've noticed I don't particularly like the heat. I think I've finally figured out why.
Oh myGod, I have so many errors I missed, it literally feels like it's about to kill me...
Well, I'm gonna finish off the reading and then I'm getting to work or this bitch..
Applezombi, a friend and inspiration to me, recently did one of these. I thought it may be fun, and it’s incredibly quiet at work today, so what the hell. Read on for a little self-interview.
