Some Future Plans and a Delay with New Stories/Chapters + Acknowledgments! · 8:33pm Mar 20th, 2014
So, this is my first blog entry here.
First, I want to use it to thank all my readers I have so far. I never had expected that my first MLP: FiM fanfiction The Best Present She Could Wish For would get so many readers!
It were more than hundred in the first 24 hours and it skyrocketed to the number of 453 readers in the nearly six weeks since I finished writing it and uploaded it here!
All of my other three fanfictions have surpassed the number of 100 readers in total.
This is more than I have expected for my first few fanfictions here! You guys rock!
A special thanks goes out to my first ten followers here:
A Random Guy
(Check out his stories too, he has a hilarious writing style!)
Without you, I haven't had such a good start as an author here, thanks for everyone that supports me!
So, now I have come to some bad news unfortunately. After writing my last fanfiction Bows and Feelings I had to realize that I have a huge problem with english grammar.
Since I'm no native speaker I always was aware of it that I probably make some grammar mistakes here and there, but I thought they would be few enough to learn to avoid them by instinct when I write more. Apparently, that's not the case.
Some grammar mistakes were found by A Random Guy in Journeys and Destinations: A Friendship for Eternity and after some were pointed out in Bows and Feelings too and I fixed them, I thought this would be all and that my grammar is fine now.
But then I got more grammar mistakes pointed out to me.
Long story short, my problem with the english grammar is much bigger than I thought. Which means I have to consult various sources here on FIMFiction.net and learn all the important grammar rules to avoid that in the future.
Until this is done, I won't write any new chapters for Journeys and Destinations: A Friendship for Eternity and also won't write new stories. Since I hope for it that this will only need some days from now on before I can begin with the second chapter, I won't set the story to "On Hiatus".
Once I'm done with that I will correct all the grammar mistakes in the first chapter of Journeys and Destinations: A Friendship for Eternity and continue writing it! With that, I also want to thank everyone that pointed out this grammar mistakes and helped me become better with that!
And don't worry, this account here is far from being dead! I have currently ideas for five to six new fanfictions in my head and the ongoing flood of new episodes inspires me constantly!
I will definitely continue writing here and as soon as I started with the second chapter I will inform you with another blog entry!
But I also have some good news. The current cover that I use for Journeys and Destinations: A Friendship for Eternity is not 100% fitting as you may have recognized. It reflects the achievements Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle have accomplished in "Twilight Time" and on what my fanfiction is based on, but it does not reflect their plan with becoming traveling sales ponies and the journey and adventures that lie ahead of them.
But this will change. I commissioned a fanart especially drawn for the story from ParadigmPizza on Deviantart.
Since I only got slot four and he's currently busy with sketching the fanart for slot two it will probably still take him some weeks until the new cover is finished, but it will be worth the wait!
That's it for now, my first blog entry here is finished. Thanks again for supporting me and stay cool!

I know what you mean about grammar everypony has mistakes and I can't say that anyone is perfect. Your welcome and I hope you have better luck in the future to my friend.
I word of advice never let life push you down like it has to me.
It was the last words of my best friend before she committed suicide and well I heard it over the phone the sounds still haunt me and that was three years ago.
