Happy Tuesday everyone!
Happy Tuesday everyone!
I haven't released another chapter for this story in months, and that's because I've had writer's block. The annoying thing is that I've only had it for this story, and not my other ones. I know exactly what I want to happen, but I just can't put it into words, which is very frustrating.
I'll keep trying to write, though! I promise!
Mornin' folks!
Just to let you know, the next Iron Horse chapter should drop either tomorrow or, if the editors need the extra time, Wednesday. I think you'll all enjoy it, especially if you've been craving a little more... action.
Hey y'all... I got distracted from FIMFiction for a while, and totally forgot about my stories, but I recently rediscovered them, and want to try and continue Meta Sketch, and maybe Harvest Blaze... thing is, I'm... kinda stuck... and, honestly, I could use somepony to help me write it in general... like, as an editor/proofreader or something. If anypony's interested, let me know! I'd be willing to work out compensation, if desired! Well... that's all for this post... :P
I'm hoping to finish "A Tempest Tossed" by the end of the year. I don't like stories dangling unfinished, and I managed to write about 200 words today, so I'm hoping that's the impetus I need to get things done. Wish me luck.

So... I think I've finally broken through my stop on Chase the Wind... And I can't thank Sylvian enough for his invaluable assistance in this! Oddly enough, it only took a 15-minute brainstorm session Thursday night before both of us passed out to finally get me moving again...
I am doing better now. I wrote more for "Dreamwalker Dash" and it went more smooth than last week. I'll keep that up and if nothing new is affecting me, my writing schedule should be back to normal this week. I'll let you know if anything changes.
Stay easy as a filly!

I'm dealing with a peculiar problem the last few days: My writing feels bad and I can't tell why. I sat down to write the new chapter of "Dreamwalker Dash" for this week (and I am a good 1,314 words into it, so don't think I was lazy), but eventually, I could not go on anymore, as what I wrote felt more and more shallow and bad.
Here is finally a little blog entry to show that I'm still alive, now that I can say something hopeful about my situation. After a few stressful things that happened lately, among them one major writing fail, I feel some spirit for writing returning since a few days now.
I got 2700 words into the SYS-TER Chapter of "Equus Metamorphosis" and realized something wasn't working. I've been making notes for this chapter for about a week and revising the approach several times until I got to the point I'm at today. I had to stop and just step back.
I think it’s pretty self-explanatory.

That's right, the Procrasti-nation!
(Cue crickets)
Fine. Well, while I'd rather be in the Imagi-nation, I have learned something new. Writing is hecking hard, and I'm stuck on both my currently-running stories. Meanwhile, I've got an upcoming speech on net neutrality and a ten-page paper on the growth of the automobile and I swear I'm going to flip a table.
It has been a while, hasn't it? My last story got published on June 2nd and it's more than three months ago now that I had to delay the start of publication of my multi-chapter fic for Tempest Shadow once more.
It seems that fandom drama is not healthy for the writing spirit. Especially not if said drama has been started by an extremist cult leader on Twitter and his followers and if it endangers one of the most important bastions in our fandom and causes an unspeakable amount of pony art to disappear forever.
So, I made the schedule, and I try to follow it as best as i can, otherwise I would never ever EVER have written almost 200k words, but sometimes stuff just happens.
That stuff being my group mate's loading a lot of work my way, not that I mind, I rather like doing this stuff, but it has been very time consuming, and coupled with what I think is a writer's block, I haven't written very much. I'm not going to be able to make it till Sunday. I need more time.
A lot of things have happened in the last few months. "Letters to Cozy Glow" (which finally has a new chapter being worked on now) hasn't updated for almost five months. "Dreamwalker Dash" (which is not yet being worked on again, but will be soon, further information will follow) hasn't updated for exactly five months. And I haven't written and released anything for more than two months now.
