I'm sorry · 4:44pm Mar 7th, 2017
Alright, I have no easy way or any plan on introducing this so let me just get straight into it. To all my viewers of all my stories waiting for an update, I am deeply sorry. Honestly, I am sorry I haven't been updating a lot, leaving stories to hang dry for months on end with no way to know if anything is coming out.I have been trying to find time to write, I have, but a lot has happened to me in the last few months that had to take priority over writing these stories. I've got a lot of steam to blow through, so sit back, this will take a while.
One of the things that really stopped me writing more whose the fact I had exams, which stressed me to no end because I had no idea if I would get into Uni or not with the score I got. To any that didn't know, in Australia, you can either do Vet or ATAR courses, which basically means choosing between apprenticeships or University. You can still get into Uni other ways but ATAR is the easiest way in. Good news is that I got the score I needed, so I can go to Uni next year, as currently, I'm taking a gap year to get away from studying for a while.
I've also gone through some physical change. You guys didn't know because I never mentioned this but I was almost close to getting type 2 diabetes, so I went on a strict exercise and diet plan. It was rough at first, but I stuck by it throughout the Christmas and holiday season. Now I'm on the way to a healthy body, I've already lost 12-13 KG and am no longer at risk of diabetes, my hormones are no longer acting up and my metabolism is working again. All it took was giving up carbs and just eating good food like meat and fruit and nuts, ignoring bread, chocolate, chips, etc.
I know this probably doesn't make up for my lack of updates but I hope it helps in someway, and I am going to try and get better. I'm going to try to set some time aside to do at least one hour of writing each day, a schedule I will try to stay by. But I haven't been totally ignoring my stories and you guys, I've been going over exactly what I want from my stories and my account. I've planned out several of my stories and decided which stories I want to continue, stop or reboot. If you like on of the stories I've decided to cancel, you have to understand I had no idea where the hell I was going with it, a lot of them were weird fantasies my mind grew, having a beginning and an ending, but no middle or actual story or character development. So I'm sorry if you liked the story, but I personally don't, and that won't make for good story telling.
So what exactly am I doing? Well firstly I'm trying to reboot the Six lights story, which is going to be different from the current version, because while it's easy to just clone the mane six and make them live together and get along, I want the story to have actual strife and issues between the characters that are thrown into this situation. The two story's with Spike as a pirate and a Pokemon trainer are both planned out with a guide written up for each of the chapters. The Spike's New Life story is one that I plan to look over and see where I can go with it because aside from both of my finished stories, that one is the most popular out of all my stories. I also want to try something new, and i have been writing or had the idea for some one-shot stories, one of them a Christmas story close to being finished.
Now considering the Spike Kingdom hearts story, the reason it has taken so long to type is because of the shows I am trying to implement into the story. I have decided on a few places where Spike will go in the story, but I sometimes stop halfway because I'm scared that I'll misrepresent the show in a way, then fans will be mad and just, I don't want a mess to explode.
That actually links to something else I want to talk to you guys about. over the years, I haven't been the most social user/writer, I don't have a lot of friends on this site, I don't really know many other writers and I haven't really talked to a lot of other bronies. I think the reason is that I have some small anxiety issues, and a looming fear of rejection whenever I talk to people online, this being a reason writing for the KH story takes a while.I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want that to change, and I want to be more social with you guys.
So that's why I am going to do a weekly Q and A blog, which is a recent idea I want to try out, as it will allow you guys to know more about me. Right now any questions you may have relating to me, my stories, my view on the show, or anything else you want to ask you can post it here or on my profile or on any of my stories. I'll select a certain few each week and answer each of them with a full answer. And if your question isn't answered on the blog, don't worry, I'll either include it in the next blog or PM you the answer. This is just a small thing I want to try out to see where it goes, you don't have to, but I'm giving you the option to do so.
Before finishing this, I'd like to thank all you people (and ponies!) that have taken their time to read this, and I'd like to thank those few bronies that do help me with my work and finally thank all the readers. You guys are the reason I do this, and I appreciate all of you for your support, enthusiasm and help. You guys are the best, and if this blog seems poorly written or out of place in some areas, I am tired and am currently writing this about 1 AM in the morning, I wanted to just get this off my chest and over with, no plan like my awake or overthinking brain might want. Okay, bye have a wonderful time
