    Hi, There

    I wrote something. You may have missed that because it's for a contest entry, and I don't like to promote those before the contests is over; but I did write something.

    Why I Wrote My Most Despised Story

    About a week ago I published my twenty-fourth story. It has gone on to become the lowest rated story I have ever written. I sense I have some 'spainin' to do. Why did I write "...And I Will Name Him George!"?

    Quizzical Greystone Meets Her Old Magic Tutor

    (this takes place in the future; eight, perhaps nine, oh let's just call it several seasons into the future. Spoilers may occur. Or maybe not. If concerned, consult a calendar then relax).

    The banging of the door knocker at the entrance of the Castle of Friendship rang through the castle's front hall.

    "I will get it," called Quizzical Greystone.

February is the Worst · 7:11pm Feb 24th, 2014

February really is the worst. In the interest of good public mental health there should be a moratorium on bad reviews during the month of February.

I've gotten a bunch of them.

God, I hate to be whinny and self indulgent, but I feel bad. I'm having about the worst crisis of confidence I've has since I started writing.

I hope I feel better next week.

:pinkiegasp:But the first was my birthday!

February has been a cursed month for me too. Nothing like this, though. I'd say just try to keep things fresh, and keep trucking along.

The first of this month? Hey, mine too!

1870175 Sorry, I very much wish not to detract from that. Happy birthday, Dude!!! (bit belated, but what the heck)

1870185
:pinkiegasp:Are twins!? (also I got a twin)

Thanks buddy:twilightsmile: May I ask why you think February is the worst?:trixieshiftright:

1870192

I... also have a sibling! Maybe we are...

1870196 This is very strange.

1870196 >> And a happy belated birthday to you!
1870192 I apologize to anyone born in the month of February, really I do. I just have a sad right now.

(though it does make me happy to get you two together, in a very strange way...)

Nah, it's fine. It was always the 'bill month' when I was a kid, so I never got presents on my birthday. I always disliked this month...

But like I said, just try new things as you write. If people are not liking it, you'll eventually stumble into something great, and at the very least out of what wasn't so great.

It's alright, I hope you feel better buddy:twilightsmile:

Bad reviews? For WHAT? :rainbowhuh:

1870291 Lately, every time I've needed to get passed a judge or editor or any sort of gate keeper I came up short. My writing just doesn't seem to stand up to critical examination.

You are, for the record, awesome. You've created, by far, the single best OC in fanfiction, and some awesome stories on top of that. You continue to be awesome in February, or any other month. Don't let reviews get you down.

February needs to sometimes be a total write off. I wish the best to any and all that have birthdays in it but for me Feb is when my SAD hits me hard.

February is my birthday month...:fluttercry:

1893827 Darling, please, no string of bad reviews could keep me from cheering for your birthday.

"May the candles on your cake...
Burn like cities in your wake...
On your birth day, your happy birth day!"

Um...on second thought, you would probably rather hear the standard birthday song, rather than the fannish birthday dirge.

I like that one, sounds cooler
