    Turns out, it's a long hiatus

    Yeah, I'm not dead, hooray!!!
    Remember when I said something about working on an original novella? Well, it's a novel now, not a novella. So it's not gonna be finished until at least... 2020?
    It's been fun everyone. But this project is just too precious. I might come back, hopefully. But I can't, I really can't continue my story. I won't kill my story yet. But it is up for adoption.

    Just a short Hiatus...

    I'm working on my own original novella right now and I can't do both at the same time. So I'm taking a break from the Fimfiction for a while to work on my original story.

    The next update is probably next year.

    The Most Pointless Things You Could Bring to Equestria...

    Let's start with the most Pointless and Useless things you can bring to Equestria...

    1. WEAPONS

    I'm not saying that weapons are pointless, I'm just saying that...

    Okay, sure, they are pretty pointless. Unless of course you wanted to be the bad guy and in that case then sure! They will come in handy, especially against the Elements and those pesky little ponies.

My thoughts about writing a story. · 11:30am Sep 7th, 2017

Well it's been a while, my only story has grown a lot. Far more than any of my expectation. I mean, 71k words? That's amazing!

But I just wanted to say that I'm going blind here. When I write story I just write everything that comes into my head. No drafts, no planning, just type and see what came out. That's maybe why my story is not really popular or something, other writers who wrote amazing stories are serious and clearly devoted.

Not that I'm saying that I'm not devoted, just saying that what I'm creating here is a picture of my wild and crazy imagination. I mean, do you really think I planned for Pinkie Pie to turn into a giant orange and goes total boulder of doom on Ponyville? Of course not! It just came out of the blue when I write that story.

This is what keeps me going. The simple fact that I cannot predict how this story is going to go. The simple fact that I can enjoy this story when writing. Because just like you all I am also asking myself... 'What's gonna happen next?'

In the end, I'm just saying that writing is much more than just becoming a god-like entities who decide the fate of its subjects. It's more about creating a beautiful world and adding those cute little ponies into it. Then throw in some problems, some new characters, and just stand back watch what's gonna happen next.

To me, this is how a story is supposed to work. It is shaped not only by the writers, but also the characters of the story.

Thank you everypony so much for reading!

PS: This also means that I am up for suggestion. What kind of odd ball do you want me to throw in next? (Quickly look over at the episode lists.) DISCORD!!! Oh boy things gonna get wacky!
