How do you stay motivated when writing a story?
Curious Star is curious, so please lemme know what it is you do that can help you write that extra word.

The first chapter of my story for Jake the Army Guy's contest is up. Go check it out, especially since I don't write Discord super often! Or, if it's not your thing you can always wait for the last chapter of Distance Beyond Any Measure on Sunday.
Gonna be a quick thing here:
Here's part one. Please read it here. After the break, you'll find the status of all my stories below. Let's get to that!
I actually haven't considered this, and maybe I really should have. Anyway, for months there's been talk of Bronycon organizing a bookstore where you can purchase fanfiction hard copies. Now, the idea of a fanfiction hard copy is really neat to me. I've always wanted personal copies of some of my stories! I still have no idea if I could make it to this year's Bronycon, sadly. I really want to, but the whole thing is up in the air, especially because I'm going to have a lot of stuff on my plate
I have been so quiet lately because I have been hard at work (also, I have some important happenings irrelevant to this blog) on some updates. One of those is a brand spankin' new story for Mother's Day. It has been in the works for a few years now. That's right, ya boi wrote a normal Mother's Day story. Probably.
Catch the SFW flavor here:
Or the NSFW flavor here:
I was looking for a draft I started for an upcoming part of an anthology. 'Cause I was really worried I accidentally lost a typed draft from four-ish years ago. It turns out I never typed it. I have a partially written draft from '19 along with two complete short stories I'd forgotten about. One of them was quite good and needed some light editing. Since I had a complete story on my hands, I typed it up, and because it's so old and relatively insignificant here's another story. Four stories,
I've completely written the following story. Expect weekly updates from here on out.
What is most likely to be next on the update roulette? I'm glad you asked! Look no further than this novel in the making:

Okay, so the bad part about having too many stories (like that's even possible) is that I can miss notifications (or forget them by mistake) because, no, I do not get too many (really, detailed!comments and updoots and shit make my day) but there are times when I can get quite a bit (rare) but other times, I sometimes won't get them at all.
OKAY SO I FOUND THE PERFECT ART FOR AN OLD THING
To me that's kinda a big deal. Some of my stories are hard to find art for. Others get inspired by picture and are really fucking easy.
Fever Dreams was one of the few stories I had a harder time finding the right picture for. I always like the art to be relevant to the story in some way, because a) I like art b) I'm decently pretentious c) misleading art sucks and so forth.
...no seriously it is. Almost anything can be a better love story than Twilight. So anyway, go check out my latest horse word demonic ramble. As the title implies it's a shipfic so expect some shipping because I am probably just Dislestia trash at this point even though there is a horse ship that I crown as the one ship to rule them all...
Might contain spelling errors even tough I tried to fix a few. Yes i made another one-this episode seemed to have some meat to it even if there wasn't a ton of super-lore I got world building. Yay!
0:48 Rarity....her hat is cool but she is not
1:25 LUNA MAKES UP FOR RARITY ANY DAY
Oh boy. Here's installment four. As with the previous blogs, reading those before this one is going to make much more sense. This blog contains spoilers for the next chapters of Bride of Discord that I'm gonna be going over in here... unless I somehow skipped some. Dunno if I did since I'm constructing this from the notes on my iPod that I made 'bout a month ago and I didn't have anything to say for two or so chapters. If you want to check out the story for yourself - which I encourage you to
And this where the fifth of my six installments will be. I will continue to go through Bride of Discord, and yet again, blog about the three chapters that I stare at, puzzled to what exactly is unfolding on my computer screen.
That means that there's going to be another block of text and me being bitter.
A simple bullet list of stuff this time:
I finally got my laptop up and running. My internet is still extremely shitty dorm internet right now, but hopefully, it will get just a bit faster. I can still write, though. Hurrah. Now that I've done that, below I will have updates on all the stories and how much I progressed on them over the summer. I also have some very nice contest results right below the break and in the tagged story.
Do you love the concepts of the show, the more serious implications of world-building, and the easy libraries to find topics that interest you? Have you ever read a story with an exciting idea that wasted it for a gag? Did you ever see something that would make a fascinating headcanon, if only it was done in a way that played out more seriously? Well, this is the group for you.
