A writers cryptonite... · 2:37pm Sep 27th, 2013
Is a critic.

Okay. While that IS true, that is not my problem, now is it? No. Not at all. Been a long time since I did a blog...
To be a writer of even slight skill, you need imagination and creativity. Well, did you know that imagination can even be your worst enemy? I do. Oh yes, I do.
Example:
You get an idea and go "This would make for a good story. I can work with this!".
You get writing and for a while all goes well. Then it happens. You get another idea, as good, if not better, than the one you begun with. You start pondering which you would rather prefer doing, but cannot decide.
Then ANOTHER story forms in your mind, complicating things even more. Soon you are neck deep in ideas you want to do, but can't set on just one.
INSANITY ENSUES!
... But yes, this is a cruel reality of those with TOO MUCH imagination and creative thinking. Like me. At times.
And now you know why writing is hard sometimes.
... If you are not reading this, I will find where you sleep and keep putting potatoes under your pillow every single night. I bet your neck likes that!
Gasp. You're alive. Hi there. I, too, have a list of things. I help it out by studiously ignoring it or stick it in a file to be looked at later.
1379141 As much as I assume that would be helpful, I am too lazy :P And indecisive.
1379147 That is... actually a good idea. I will think about this!

I got bored one day and decided to compile a list of future one shots for possible usage.
aka “There’s a pony for that.” or “Rule 34-b”
Eragon: Spike + Twilight
Codex Alera: Twilight + Changelings + Flutterpony?
Toy Story v1: Random toys of M6
Toy Story v2: T3 + Random kid who lived off of MLP:FiM
Ben 10: Scoots + CMC
One Piece: Random fruit + Random pony
Kingdom Keepers: ? Figure it out later.
Artemis Fowl: Remove kebab, replace with flutterponies
Artemis Fowl 2: Twilight gets suspicious
Big Rigs over the Road: Pinkie Pie
Fairly Odd Parents: ??? + Tia + Luna + ???
Futurama: Derpy?
Harry Potter: Twilight disguised as human, blah blah blah (Edit: What?)
Super Mario: Pinkie + Cadence + S. Armor + Sombra
Jetpack joyride?: Twilight invents a jetpack but illogically assumes to use projectiles as thrust?
Madoka Magica: A war with demons is invading from outside Equestria’s borders, and the EoH are barely holding them back. A white cat thing(or heck, Discord) appears in front of the teenage CMC...

Honestly, no. I have my own problems to sort out. I'd rather keep to those.
The problem is that one can't write fast enough. Or when the muse actually decides to grace you with a smile.
Most of my time I spend thinking about plots (hehe, pun. Or?
) and can't make myself write down all the 5-6 chapters I managed to run through my head. I imagine it's equally as horrible for other writers.
