    The Quest Next Chapter

    Guys, I've written myself into a corner today, but I've made great progress. Once I know how our heroes get out of this predicament, the chapter will be nearly ready. Oh yeah, surprise! I'm not dead! :twilightsheepish:

    9/11 Rememberance

    The following passage is the first-hand account of the events that took place immediately after the 11th of September, 2001 written by a Navy Hospital Corpsman, specialized as a Psychiatric Technician:

    Friday [14 September] turned out to be a tough day. We all got to NNMC

    Additions to Dog Days

    Hey guys, I'm posting this, because I just added a scene to the latest chapter of The Quest. I didn't have a full chapter for you, but I did decide I left that one unfinished. I unpublished and republished the chapter after I made the additions, but I have no idea if that hit anyone's feed. Nevertheless, I'm working on the next chapter right now, and I'm hoping this extra scene will get you back

    Vacation

    Hey, guys. I just wanted to give you all an update. I'm still working on Fallen Angel and editing two other stories right now, but my progress has been slowed by my internet acting up recently. I can't effectively write on my phone. (Trust me, I've tried.) Now my internet is back, but I took leave around my birthday/mother's death day to get away and relax a little. I went to see my dad.

    Fallen Angel WIP (sorry for the delay...)

    Hey guys, so life has really been kicking me in the ass lately, but I promise you I'm still working on the Painkiller Series. In fact, I just wrote some on Sunday, and I'm working on it again today between tasks at work. I write best at my desk at work for some reason. I haven't the faintest clue why. :derpyderp2:

Twixie Trilogy! · 1:34am Apr 23rd, 2014

It's been so long! :raritydespair: I'm having a hell of a time writing the next one. I'm actively trying. I've rewritten the first sentence about 30 times in the past hour. I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to start this. :facehoof: I feel so much pressure for this to be my best story yet. It has to be! I've kept you all waiting for it for months, and it's the conclusion to the story that got me at least half of my followers. I feel like I would be letting so many of you down if this thing isn't absolutely perfect. I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to write this thing. You guys must hate me for this. :unsuresweetie:

Honestly, you sound just like Ava sometimes. :ajbemused:

Your followers won't hate you for trying to give them quality material.

2036801 I meant for the months its taken me. :fluttercry:

Honestly, you sound just like Ava sometimes.

Lol. She and I are eerily similar sometimes, it seems. :rainbowlaugh:

2036804 So? I've seen some of the best writers on this site take months too, and no one ever complains to them. :applejackunsure: Readers have to realize that rushing a writer is terrible for the story.

2036815 I wanted to post it tonight, but it's looking like that won't happen. :applecry: Honestly, I'm surprised no one has unfollowed me over it.

2036840 I've only ever had people unfollow me because I said something they didn't agree with. Leaving a story open I think is a terrible reason to unfollow someone.

2036854 Ok. :unsuresweetie: I'd still like to get this thing started with the new chapter out tonight. It'll make me feel good. Lol.

Strive for perfection but never expect it.
It's an idea, a nobel goal, not something that can actually be achieved.

My recommendation is: just start writing, don't think about it just do it. It's much easer to correct/reword/make 'perfect', something that is on paper/computer, and sometimes, we let the fear of starting get in the way of the creative process.

2036868 Well there's that and a severe case of selective writer's block going on. This is what I want to write, but my brain has other ideas. :trixieshiftleft:

2036885

talked to someone about that today, (Life is funny that way,)

What he does for that is force himself to write about something he has no interest in even if its just 1000 words.

By the time he's done his brain demands he goes back to something he WANTS to do.

Never tired it but it might work.

If it doesn't, read more stories on here. That normally gives me ideas and makes me want to write.

2036894 Ugh. I hate ShyPie though! :raritydespair: It's the only thing I could think of that would do that for me. :twilightsheepish:

2036896
then its a race to get it done.

For me it would be Appledash… Ugh...

2036901 As much as I don't agree with the ship, I've read a couple of those that were alright. :applejackunsure:

I am not going to hate you for trying.:raritywink: Take as much time as you need. As long as we know that you are actively trying to write this and that you are not going to give up on it.:twilightsmile:

2036926

going to give up on it.

Never. :pinkiegasp:

Thank you for your support. It means a lot. :pinkiesad2:

2036911 i love appledash and don't really like twidash (don't worry, there's no way i'm gonna unfollow you because of different opinions), but hey at least all of us here can agree that twixie is awesome

2036965

but hey at least all of us here can agree that twixie is awesome

Agreed. :trixieshiftright::heart::twilightblush:

2037139 Lol. I know what you mean. I knocked several out today, but I'm still at 60 stories. I wouldn't call my stories great though. Lol. Good, at best.

2036854 317 words in now, and you all have Surry to thank for that. :pinkiehappy::heart:

2037160 for me it's a combination of several 'to read' stories and like 20 tabs open on my computer with stories on them at any given time.

And hey don't be down on yourself, your stories and fantastic

2037223 sorry that's 'are fantastic', not and, stupid phone

2037223 Lol. Well thanks, but there are soooo many better writers than me on this site alone. :eeyup:

2037238 oh we'll see about that *pumps shotgun*

2037229 Does this sound...Discord-ish enough? :duck:

Discord feigned being hurt by the accusation. "What do I want?" He gasped. "I can't help a friend in need without expecting something in return?" Trixie raised a bemused eyebrow at the question until Discord finally gave in. With a sigh, he rolled his eyes and snapped his talons. "Fluttershy asked me to let her in." The door was gone, replaced by small tree with leg-like roots. It took chase from nothing in particular down the stairs. As it reached freedom, it shouted out into the night air, "Leeeeroooy Jenkiiins!!!"

2037304 Wait...you can't use my stories as an excuse to kill John Lennon! :pinkiegasp: He's already dead, silly! :pinkiesmile:



Yes, I know that's not what you meant. :rainbowlaugh:

2037323 Sorry about that, but I want your opinion on that little excerpt too. Does that seem like something Discord would do? Or is it just out of place?

2037359 Ad long as they're not great. They haven't achieved greatness yet. One day though, one day.

I wanted the tree to say something funny and random, and "Run Forest, Run!" seemed not to fit this particular occasion. Any suggestions?

weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/run-forest-run.jpg

2037314 yes of course i wasn't talking about john lennon, that would be silly *eyes rapidly shift from side to side*

Also funny discord bit, silly discord is always fun

2037212 I don't really think I did anything at all...

2038026 You did exactly as I needed. You provided me with someone to talk to about it, and that gets the creative juices flowing. :twilightsmile::heart:

2038037 Umm, if you say so. :applejackunsure:

2038043 Trust me, I know it's weird, but you helped a lot without doing very much. Thanks. :pinkiesmile:

2041000 Lol. Well, I've had someone comment approvingly to it, so now I don't want to give it up. :unsuresweetie: Lol.

2041009 It would be so much simpler if I could do that. I may do that next time something just leaves me speechless. :rainbowlaugh:
