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!
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 [National Naval Medical Center at Bethesda, Maryland] early in the morning
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 I unpublished and republished the chapter after I made the additions, but I have no idea if that hit anyone's feed.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
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.
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.
2108041 2108042 The sucky part of writing on a Navy computer. I spent so long on that one page that it asked me to re-enter my certification, refreshed the page, and didn't save a damn thing I'd done.
2108064 It's going to end up much shorter. Plus, I'm going to have to do it later. I just spent my entire lunch writing that. I have a 12 hour shift today, so I won't be able to write again for another 7 1/2 hours.
Hay, Bassie... Remember when I had a whole 6,000 word chapter deleted on me? So I had to rewrite It has two separate chapters? Trust me. I know your pain.
2109048 I think I might try to write another chapter of Sun Shine first, though. I suspect if I do so while it's still in the popular box, I might have an actual chance of getting featured. It's like fishing for the big one!
That is the worst possible thing for a writer. Software malfunction?
what happened mate?

2108042 The sucky part of writing on a Navy computer. I spent so long on that one page that it asked me to re-enter my certification, refreshed the page, and didn't save a damn thing I'd done.
Damn that sucks... Sorry man
Sorry to hear that. Well, at least you have the basic outline in your head, so it won't take as long. It's not much, but it's better than nothing.
2108048 I had written out the entire throne room scene! It was perfect! I even explained why Discord wasn't the chariot.
2108047 that sucks
what were you working on?
2108053 The basic outline, yes, but it was long, and it's hard to remember that much dialogue between three different ponies.
2108057 The Quest.
It won't be exact, but I'm sure it'll be close enough. It might be better here and worse there, but in the end I think it'll balance out.

Write down what you can remember and go do something else. (Read/watch tv/etc).
Come back to it later (refreshed). Otherwise you will drive yourself up the wall trying to recreate it.
I had a report in collage get deleted (saved over) on me. I know the pain all too well.
2108064 It's going to end up much shorter. Plus, I'm going to have to do it later. I just spent my entire lunch writing that. I have a 12 hour shift today, so I won't be able to write again for another 7 1/2 hours.
2108066 I have no choice. I'm still at work.
2108067
Oh no! Well, as long as you remember the core details and don't let stress get the best of you, I'm sure it'll be alright in the end.
2108073 I hope so.
that's the reason i try to save every few paragraphs.
damn, that really sucks sorry you lost all that work
Hay, Bassie...
Remember when I had a whole 6,000 word chapter deleted on me? So I had to rewrite It has two separate chapters?
Trust me. I know your pain.
Since when has that ever stopped you?
2108691 I'm doing patient care today, so I can't really ditch for an hour to rewrite that entire scene.
2108579 Yeah...That...that must have been super painful.
2108529 Me too.
2108377 That's a good point.
2108946 Later then.
2109048 I think I might try to write another chapter of Sun Shine first, though. I suspect if I do so while it's still in the popular box, I might have an actual chance of getting featured. It's like fishing for the big one!
2109059 Can't hurt to try. I got a new wireless system for my guitar, so I can play from anywhere in my house.
2109070 Dude! That's kickass!
