I'm a writer lol

Sometimes I get story ideas when I don't expect to. Sometimes this is at night. I've got a pen and a post-it note pad on my nightstand for when this happens.

Sometimes this happens in the middle of the night. I'm usually so tired that I don't turn on the light, cause if I do that, I'll get adjusted to the light and fully wake up.

So some mornings, I'll wake up and my alarm clock is covered in post-it notes that look like this:

(Edit: added a page break so this giant picture doesn't stretch out my user page)

It's like a five-year-old wrote it xD

I swear this isn't my normal handwriting :P And I swear I'm not five years old, either. That's just what it looks like when a tired, 1:30 am Front tries writing in the dark.

P.S. Planning to release a new story on Sunday :o

I've done that too! Sometimes I have to try and reread it for a day to figure it out, though. Lol!

...And that's why I have a voice-recording app on my Smart Phone, which is always in reach next to my bed at night.

Although yes, crappy paper-scrap notes are all over the place too.

Don't knock yourself! "People try to get villimanjutidsotiel" sounds like a pretty compelling hook to me.

"... but even when ___ his evil lab equipment, he tries to (do?) ___ _____"

Have you actually been able to reconstruct your idea? Deciphering this is going to bother me now.

people try to get villain as friend t(h)is oft(en) ef

but even when surrounded by evil lab equipment, he tries the de evl times

Sounds like an Oscar winner to me!

Yeah, it's like decrypting a coded message xP

That's actually a good idea. Not sure I'd be able to navigate my phone waaay early in the morning, but it's something I could consider :o

If anything, that would be the opposite of a hook. I think someone reading an opening line like that would be less inclined to keep reading and more inclined to throw that book across the room :P

"People try to get villian adjusted to society, but even when selling his evil lab equipment, he tries to do evil thing"

...I think.

I think I was going for, like, a cartoonishly evil villian in a very grounded-reality-type setting. It was meant to be a very short story, basically with the villian claiming he's done with his evil ways and selling off his equipment, and the person he tells is proud, until they find out he's doing something evil by selling his equipment... which, I can't remember why that was particularly evil.

...Probably needs more development, as it sounds kind of stupid now that I explain it, but honestly, I'm not surprised 1:30am-Front thought a dumb idea was genius :P

Either way, into the idea folder it goes! Maybe I'll be able to do something with it later.

Certainly has potential. Let me try that development thing you mentioned:

Twilight is evil. And somehow nopony noticed until now.

But now that they have noticed they've force Twilight to give up her evil ways and sell her lab equipment, including her evil lab assistance who is still quite confused about what is going on.

Although one thing they hadn't counted on, is who she'd sell her lab equipment to, and what it would do to them.

Turns out it's not just evil, that makes you evil. Sometimes it's the tools that make you evil more than just being evil, makes you evil.

Oh, so it’s not that Twilight was evil, it was her equipment that was evil :o I mean, besides her being a little evil to begin with.

If you don’t mind, I’m going to add on to your development and try some more development myself:

Pinkie Pie couldn’t quite explain all the plotting and conniving she’d been doing lately, or the urge to burst out in fits of maniacal cackling, or the strange desire for world domination—but it only ever seemed to happen in her basement, where she’d recently put that weird science stuff from Twilight before she was committed and her possessions were split among her friends.

It’s fine, though. Nothing to worry about. All she’d have to do was find a way to stop herself from finishing that giant Cupcake And/Or Death Ray in her basement before it was too late.

Hmm. Probably needs some more work, but that’s getting close to a workable story :o

:o I like how that's coming along.

May have to watch that it doesn't turn into a multi-chapter deal. My ideas tend to do that.

Fluttershy was a sweet, kind, and considerate pony.

And, just like any other sweet, kind, and considerate pony, she found it difficult to know exactly what she wanted in her life. Was it to befriend the animals outside Canterlot? Or help her friends take over the world? Or maybe it was just to leave her home without cowering behind her bush more than three times a day?

No, it was none of those things. She knows that now, and all it took was a few choice words from her new eggbeater-- she's not talking to him right now-- and a visit from a crazed pink mare wielding a giant glowing, rainbow-coloured, cupcake of doom to make her realise what she truly wanted in her life: world domination.

Now it's up to her and Pinkie Pie, with some help from Franken Angel, to escape this cottage and topple the Equestrian government before Applejack and her giant applecider-powered mecha can beat them to it. Heck, maybe they can find out what happened to Rainbow Dash in the process, as well.
