    The end of an era

    Some may think I'm talking about Friendship is Magic ending later this year. And that is also the end of an era. But while everyone was looking forward to that, another era ended entirely by surprise. It turns out that "Sunset's Backstage Pass" was the final Equestria Girls production produced by DHX. The license has been turned over to Boulder Media, whose plans for the franchise are unclear.

    The Mysteries of Maud Pie

    It's been a long time. I have a new story, The Mysteries of Maud Pie. Nothing super fancy or ambitious here, just a short story I belted out pretty quickly based on something very personal to me.

    Forgotten Friendship (spoilers)

    A new Equestria Girls special! And it's.... ah... aaaauuuugh! AAAAAHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUGH! This special is what I will call a "mixed bag".

    On the one hand, it had some fantastic emotional and character-pushing moments.
    1: Sunset's confrontation with Celestia.
    2: Twilight wigging out in the forbidden section of the library.

    He's gonna take you back to the past

    I looked up recently and realized that it has actually been YEARS since I've watched any of Season 1. I was curious to see how it would hold up after all of the advancements in storytelling and graphics that have taken place over the years, so I selected a few of my personal favorites for revisiting.

More nothing. · 3:53am Jun 12th, 2014

I love writing, but I'll be damned if I don't have bouts of doing absolutely nothing. Sitting at the computer for hours or days on end, looking through YouTube videos. So many stories I want to see finished without an ounce of inspiration or inclination. No reading fanfiction, no writing fanfiction, even my copy of "Marvel Heroes" is only played for 30 minutes or so a day just out of habit, while Watch Dogs sits unfinished, Mario Kart sits with half the characters locked, and my new copy of Wolfenstein sits around played a total of three times.

I don't know why I get this way. I just don't want to DO anything. Sometimes I think I'm Depressed, but I don't think I have much to be Depressed about. A little lonely, maybe, but all in all my life is pretty good.

Just an update to let everyone know I'm not abandoning this site or my stories. I still have a couple new ideas and several in-progress stories, so I'm not going anywhere. I'm sorry for the silence, I really am.

I get like that a lot, too. Been sitting around watching the Nostalgia Critic for hours. One day, I binge-watched a guy play claw machine games. Sometimes, I think I might be burning out. Then, like always, I get inspired and crank something out. Give it time, and I'm sure you'll feel like writing again.

you are not depressed, you are just not motivated.
try to find something that you enjoy doing... maybe something you don't do alone.
