Replace drawing with writing obviously.
Replace drawing with writing obviously.
Because that's what I'm doing. Basically, I want to get my current story done but I'm just not feeling it very much, so I'm kind of doing random things instead.
Why can't all my stories be as easy to write as Smile or Twilight Sparkle Eats A Peach Eventually? Those took like an hour each.
I totes promise within a week this time. we've pretty much got it done, I'm having the madverse pre-readers and Merlos double check over it to make sure its maintaining continuity and isn't too bad. We trimmed a lot out of this chapter. This was intended to be a world building chapter, but instead we cut a lot of that stuff out to keep it from dragging. There is a "extras and junk" chapter made where its just Stormy talking to Merlos that might get released as it contains stuff that was going
so as most of you know, i am a gigantinormous procrastinator, and i can't deny it
during all that time, i have created multiple projects that barely have 1000 words.

I'm telling everyone to keep myself accountable. I've been sick a lot recently, which means I was kinda depressed and not "feeling like" writing anything.
Which means I have some bad habits to break.
I've got like six stories i'm "trying" to write on and they're all either too short or too shabby to release.
Writing is hard guys, wtf, how do you do it so regularly.
So close to being completed. A few more paragraphs to wrap up the current segment I'm in, then one more small segment after and it'll be done
I MAY be able to finish tonight. I can't make promises because I hate breaking them. Anyways, it should be out very soon. Catch you guys later :)
so by now you probably know I write slow and it's about time I explain why
1. gaming: I tend to piss a lot of time away into video games
2. random insparation: I get all kinds of crazy story ideas that distract me and this keeps me from finishing any one in short order
3. random burnouts just happen
4. internet video procrastination: I watch a lot of youtube news and that eats up a lot of time and concentration
Yeah, I need to get stuck in to my fic-writing right about now. Gotta finish the fic I'm working on!
So naturally, I'll play F*ck, Marry, Kill in this blog while I'm doing just that. Leave a comment below! Doesn't have to be pony-related, but as long as I know where the characters come from.
I bet you thought my 100th blog would be something special like a huge review project or something.
But guess what?
I'm way too disorganized for something like that.
Instead, I've finally updated my story info box on my user page. Here's the updated info.
Machinations in the Dark is getting a makeover.
Finally hitting the first couple of chapters hard, and getting some good edits. Check back in the next few days. The first chapter is already done. Second will be done tomorrow.
New chapter is being edited as well. I'm back on track, guys!
It has been far too long. I've been really busy with things now that i've moved to a new home and a new state. Still adjusting to the cold, but its not bad. As for my writing, i've been focusing on doing a commission for a friend as i am desperate for cash at the moment. That being the case, i've also been busy with a few personal projects that aren't MLP related; that being a fictional setting of my own creation... of which i'm half-tempted to throw our favorite ponies into. So its safe to
Heresy! Who are you and what have you done with the real Req!?
Also, how the hell does the tag shit work XD I don't keep up with you kids and you're newfangled whatchamacallits, thingamajigs, and doo-dads.

Procrastination is something that we all do. That paper you are supposed to be writing for a class you have, and when to start going to the gym for your new year's resolution. Everyone does it in one form or another. This story that I'm writing, which I'm fairly passionate about, is my most procrastinated project yet. I started writing it soon before season five of MLP began and now we are in the middle of season six. I started writing almost a year ago and I only have two chapters of this
After way too long, The First Second of Eternity has been updated - and as I've remarked to plenty of people already, I guess it's to be expected when you've put 'eternity' as part of the title, oops.
Really. I will. At some point.

To be quite frank, I'm actually embarrassed to do this, but it needed to be done. Because this is probably one of many times I may procrastinate on a project and wait a few days before the deadline to actually continue it. I have the rough draft for Chapter three on NRFH. I just couldn't get around to finishing it due to an acute case of Writers Block.
We've one it... FINALLY! Oh golly yes, its been acheived. Last time Merlos and I worked on the story, we got it to where I wanted it to stop at next. We're just picking at it, making grammar fixes, and flow issues, and I'm checking continuity as we look the chapter over.
