    The final chapter of I Dreamt to Fly is already the longest.

    The next chapter is the final, and it's already longer than any other chapter in the story. I've been putting off doing it because of how badly I want to do it right; I don't want it to spontaneously end like the original story did. Pacing is key, and it's really hard for me to determine pacing until I proofread it myself.

    I Dreamt to Fly should be returning soon enough.

    Now that the holidays are over and chapters are well overdo, I'll be trying to put out chapters every two days again. Even then, there are only like 5 chapters left of the story to go. Excuse my laziness for the time being.

    Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!

    A toast to 2015, and also a toast to season 5 of MLP. Season 5 was in my opinion the best season yet, so I'm heavily looking forward to the next. Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

    Procrastination

    I should be working on the new chapter for I Dreamt to Fly right now but instead I'm sat here watching Star Wars battle scenes. Whoops. At least the new chapter is 2,000 words so far already.

    I have such a big writing block right now.

    I can't even make a few paragraphs of the next chapter without blanking out and not knowing what to do. It's really starting to frustrate me as I've just sat here for two hours with nothing but a blank word document.

Whoops I have the Lavender Unicorn syndrome. · 6:44pm Nov 18th, 2015

But hey, at least I don't do it after every sentence. One tip on the Editors Omnibus was to constantly use pronouns instead, which I do most of the time and only stop from using them when I put another pony into focus. That's when I either use a name or as EQD calls it "LUS."

Not to mention I do use "She said." a lot, usually after every bit of dialogue. I suppose until I learn to find multiple ways of initiating a character's speech, just using "She said." is probably better for me right now. I'd rather use a repetitive response than one that I don't exactly have the hang of yet. Still, I'll try and sort out my Lavender Unicorn Syndrome and get more varied sentences going. Having not 'professionally' wrote for around two years is probably leaving me at a disadvantage.

I can probably skim through the current chapters of I Dreamt To Fly and fix the small mistakes I made, but it's something to keep in mind when producing other works. Speaking of other works, I'm working on a short one-shot story which is getting considerably harder to conceptualize.
Doing toilet humour and genital humour sucks when it's only really funny being said and not read, unless it's executed smartly with actual jokes to drive them, which goes against pretty much everything stupid comedy is about. So I'm stuck at an impasse on how I'll do this.

Personally I don't think I should focus on making my writing up to snuff with professional novelists; I'll still try and adapt and progress but I just won't focus on it. After all, I'm doing this for fun more than anything so I shouldn't have to stress myself out over it, that'll just push me away.
