Cold Spike


I enjoy getting Comments on my Work

  • EThe Grownup Way
    Waking up as something different should shock people, it should make you scream and cry out in agony. A human one night, a pony the other. Things seemed bleak for Samantha, for about a second. She was an adult pony and it was time to have some fun.

    Happy New Years

    2023 was way too long.

    My goal this year is to find a new job. Try and write more than one new chapter of Feather Steel and to hopefully publish this new story of mine which popped into my head and won't leave. Already written 20,000 words. :twilightsheepish:

    As for my other unfinished works, we'll see. :facehoof:

    The Curse is Broken

    So, yeah, finally a new chapter is here.

    What can I say other than time goes by fast and you never realize how much you lose until it's lost. Five years :fluttershysad:

    The Difficulty of Continuing a Story

    Why is it so difficult to do this sometimes? I feel like it's much, much easier to come up with a new story and write it out. But Celestia help you if you stop and want to continue later. :facehoof:

    A Rushed Job

    I'm Back from TrotCon which was fun, though I feel they planned poorly for how large the venue was vs how many people were there (last time it was in a smaller hotel and felt cozy).

New Chapter for 'The Grownup Way' · 3:35am Sep 5th, 2014

So there is a new chapter, it can be found here: Chapter Three: Whoops

Sorry for the wait there and I do apologize that it seems shorter. Not every chapter I write on all of my stories can be 5k words in length. Hopefully people are enjoying it, it is kind of my first shot at a comedy t hat doesn't focus too much on comedy... I am not good at writing comedy.

Comments are always welcome on my stories, I get the feeling that I've been writing them too basic, too generic (simplified writing styles). Perhaps it's just habit on my part. I see tons of sophisticated fics on this site, but when looking at my own work I don't think it stacks up. (I know every author here says the same thing) but to me I feel like I worked hard, I learned how to write grammatically correct, learned how to write about ponies and right now there are no challenges to push me forward. When I first started on the site I was way behind in writing so it felt like a race, not a race that needed to be finished right away, but a challenge. It was hard work and now here I am, I know i can write better but worried I either lack the actual drive to do so, or perhaps the smarts. :twilightblush:

Still, I have fun writing here. It's why I have stayed and probably will never quit until the site is long dead some day (hopefully years from now). Comments though are always welcome so I can help improve my writing (they are welcome when they aren't trolls... those don't help improve anyone). So...... COMMENT!

As for the rest of my stuff, Spike's Nameless Brother is still being edited, and I still have some chapters to write (I tend not to write ahead in my fics, opting instead to wait for a chapter to finish being polished before moving on... perhaps I should change this in the future). Hopefully Feather Steel will be getting more work done on it soon, I just need to bug Metal Pony Fan some more. Happy reading~

Well if you want a challenge, write something you're not used to writing. As you said, maybe a more 'sophisticated' story. Whatever that means.

2428939 I just meant more details. Typically those kinds of stories have at least 10k chapters each or more.

Ooh, new words! Will read soon. I agree with theRedBrony, if you’re looking for challenge, write something you’re not used to. In fact, I challenge you to write a first person oneshot about a pony older than time itself. Oh and something else, no dialogue. GO!:rainbowdetermined2:
