How long has it been since I wrote one of these things?
I honestly don’t know, but I don’t care either.
All I care about now is writing, or I would if I could write.
I’ve fallen into a writing depression of sorts you see, and I can’t seem to get out of it. I try to focus on the story, but the words just won’t come as easily as they used to.
When I first began writing, I wrote at least one chapter a week. Now I’ll be lucky if I can even get one done in a month. I wonder why I’ve lost my writing nerve. I wonder why I even began doing this. I even wonder sometimes if it’s worth it.
Then I say to myself “Who the heck cares!” I write cause I can, and even though I can’t concentrate on it as of late that doesn’t mean I don’t like it! I love writing. It’s one of the few things I’m actually GOOD at, or so I’m told anyway.
Even when I was young, I’ve loved books, games, or anything with a really good story, so writing came naturally to me. I’m told I’m quite good at it, compared to others, but I just don’t see it. I’m just a crazy kid with an insane imagination. And an idea that I’ve had since I was, like, three or something.
I finally found a medium to work off of, and I’m going to write it dammit, even if it kills me. As long as I get my story out, then I’ll be happy.
My idea is insane in itself, and I’ve had to warp it completely to fit the world of MLP FIM, but someday I’ll get to tell my true idea for what it is. For now though, enjoy The Kingdom Overseas and my other stories while I figure out how to get out of my slump.
Think Freely my Friends
Not so much a philosophy as a personal note of encouragement, but a good read either way.
Yeeeeeeaaaah he's back! Good, some routine.
I've been off the proverbial writing horse for a long period of time, and I just got back on after a writing conference I was at. The trick for writer's block that I've discovered is finding when you're fresh. I've been getting up an hour before I usually get up and then writing for an hour straight, and then figuring out what's next during the rest of the day.

Thank you very much.

Wow, didn't think anyone really cared about these things.
And that sounds like a good plan! I should try it myself, if I can learn to get up in the morning...

I feel hella better when I get up early.
Your philosophies are really good, I don't think you should stop. In fact, it might be interesting to start them in the forums.

Might be, but it's an RP group, or are you talking about the Mentally Deficient Authors?

Any of them are fine. Mentally Deficient Authors is more than likely your best bet.

HA HA! You're totally right!
I'll consider it. I make these things for no real reason anyway, so why the hell not?
