    The Knife’s Edge

    The other day I got a message from ZanarNaryon telling me they had created a TVTropes page for To Serve In Hell. Now, TVTropes can be a dangerous place to start reading, unless you have a few hours to spend getting lost in it. But if you want to check it out, please

    Not with a bang, but a whimper

    Hey friends.

    I didn’t used to believe in writer’s block as such. I always thought the phenomenon was a manifestation of something else in a person’s life. I also thought the cure for it was just to sit down and write any garbage you can. Editing should never mix with drafting, and if you can get yourself to stop editing, you’ll achieve more and better drafting—which can then be edited.

    Ping 2: Live and In Person

    Almost exactly 2.5 years ago, my family and I bought tickets to Whinny City Pony Con 2020. Of course there was no such con, at least not in a physical capacity. But good egg that he is, Charlie Worthley (con organizer extraordinaire) has made it effortless to transfer our tickets from that long-ago time to right now, despite all that’s transpired between.

    I live.

    Time's gotten away from me.

    2020 got weird. My 2021 started with an honest effort to get back to normal. But after I started getting treated for depression, I began to see more and more ways to improve things in my daily and family life that hadn't fit together very well in years. Including some of the core issues that had pointed me in the direction of MLP in the first place.

    Artistic Expression

    It's been too long. Things are great. Really, really great. Not so much for writing, but for different modes of expression and life.

Author. Yes, you, author. Come here. I am most upset.

Not pictured: the face of mercy

Now I'm not a heartless mare. I understand that life happens, and one can't hold the recent past against you. But you do realize I've spent almost two years wearing this same uncomfortable uniform, do you not? Darling, that's seven or eight seasons' worth of fashion that I've missed out on. I don't think it's heartless of me to call that inexcusable. I believe it's time that you advance the plot...

*ahem*

Excuse me! Eyes up here, you ruffian! I want you to advance the plot, not the... well, you know. But there are ways this can be done without becoming onerous. Personally, I think it would be an excellent show of goodwill to usher Sassy's next chapter out into the moonlight on October first, whether or not you feel you've "nailed" her voice. I mean, you've already bothered three lovely individuals to have a look at the chapter, and besides, Sassy is a villain; ruffling feathers is practically her job. Then, of course, it would be lovely of you to finally release the next chapter featuring moi on November first. Do you recall when you wrote its first draft? Was that indeed last November?

Incredulous horse is incredulous

Darling, there comes a point where one must abandon the fear of mishandling a chapter's events in the name of ever getting it done. Yes, I know what I'll be in for with that chapter, and I'm certainly not looking forward to it. But perhaps your audience might, if any of the poor souls are still out there. And in truth, I would be so very grateful just to get things moving again that I might finally agree to let you...

#anticipation

...give a single hug to the plush of me that I know is in the back of your, ah, nerd cabinet. Which, incidentally, I will thank you to never speak of again, if you ever wish to receive another.

Ponies. Ponies in everypony's heads. Hmm? Yes, I said “everyone's”. Wait, what—*static*

Or as Kevin Costner said in Tin Cup, "Grip it and rip it." Sometimes you just have to get it out there and see how it goes. It's not like you can't go back and change it up if it doesn't work later on. I know I've done it before.

I love this post ... so relatable. :raritystarry:

I shouldn't have read this blog. I'm going to have a good dozen characters demanding to speak with me by lunchtime.

And now my fictional characters will be hounding me all through classes. Thank you.

Did you... did you just RP Rarity lecturing you as motivation for your next chapter?

How many pots of coffee are you on, what's in it, and can I get some of that?

No way man, RP's forbidden on the site... I think what happened is I must've forgotten to lock my keyboard last night and she used her unicorn computer hacking skills to get in and publicly shame/entice me.

Also yes I'm on an ungodly quantity of coffee lately due to sleep apnea eating my brain while I wait for my CPAP machine prescription to go through, which, fortunately, is supposed to happen soon :ajsleepy:

Darling, we aim to please.

Yes absolutely. I've already determined that this long-running update format doesn't work super-well for my "process," so at this point it's just a matter of acknowledging that and starting to dig up and out of the hole.

I'm surprised she didn't show up earlier. She has been wearing that same sexy dress for a while now and probably needs to rip it off change into something more fashionable. :duck:

You mean to say that the voices your friends your characters don't speak to you all of the time? :pinkiecrazy:

Ha, ha, ha... that was fantastic, you should channel Rarity more often. Thanks for the update. And those hashtags. :rainbowlaugh:

Madness does not always howl at the moon. Sometimes madness is that small, quiet voice at the end of the day asking "Is there room in your head for one more?"

And sometimes that's just a party. :pinkiehappy:
