Overworked. *checks blood pressure* · 9:12pm Mar 21st, 2015
As I type up the chapter(s) for the story tagged to this post as well as some other short stories, I recognized that I squirted out that first chapter back in 2013.
That was 2 years ago.
2 YEARS!
That was 2 years of story telling I haven't done. 2 years of my pony friends I didn't indulge in. 2 years of writing I never got to. Do you know how much that makes me want tear my own arms off with my big toe while hanging myself with MandoPony's guitar strings?
What the hell happened?
The starving artiste's answer is "real life got in the way". That's partially true; I began my first year of college, made a lot of new friends, learned some useful things I should have learned in high school, met a nice girl on the interweb box and the classes kept me more than preoccupied. But that wasn't enough. See I'm the kind of guy where to if I don't have a project to occupy myself with I might have an autistic temper tantrum or something. And I don't declare those projects finito until they are perfect. So I began outlines for screenplays, at least 10 of them.
I had written those out all while I had at least 20 Fimfic stories posted in waiting.
AND THEN, I began 21st year by making a resolution: to watch at least 1 movie a day. I'm almost 4 months in and I am NOT going to slow down at all. Movies mean a lot to me and I dream of making that my job one day. I'm a dreamer like that.
Also I'm lazy. Like Al Bundy, Homer Simpson, Snoopy Dog, Garfield and your mother want to be like me, I'm so lazy.
Warbling around the net one day, I stumbled upon a quote something that strangely explains my bad work ethic.
I think these stories will see today. But not today today, the metaphorical today. But I can't overwork myself crazy. Billy Joel always tells me to "slow down you crazy child", but I got so much to do and there are so many hours in a day. I always kick off before I'm halfway through.
Stay patient followers. More is coming, I promise. You wait for me and Vienna waits for you. All right I'll stop.
