Maud pie has written thousands of poems.

They're about rocks.
And yes I have heard the criticism. Thanks for the comments though. Really had to take some time off to take them into consideration and realize what I wanted to write might not impress everyone and that the way I write characters definitely turn some people away Good criticism is good criticism to be sure- way better to know what might be turning some people away at the moment than silence and no explanation to a small influx of downvotes. But yeah we are now going to be back on track.
Ways to un-stick a stuck story by firemoon42
• Do an outline, whatever way works best. Get yourself out of the word soup and know where the story is headed.
• Conflicts and obstacles. Hurt the protagonist, put things in their way, this keeps the story interesting. An easy journey makes the story boring and boring is hard to write.
So if you've been following my blog for awhile, you've probably caught wind that I've been working on a sort of "final edit" of "Grief is the Price We Pay." To clarify, this edit would leave the core plot of the story mostly unchanged (so yes, the ending and the events concerning it would remain largely the same), however, it would:
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:

About a week ago, I posted a blog seeking to survey you all about how much interest there was in seeing a "final edit" of "Grief is the Price We Pay." It was my hope that, once I tallied up all the responses, it would definitely decide whether or not there was enough cause for me to continue with the project.
Sassy Chapter Excerpt
A dull throb in her chest broke Sassy’s concentration. She shifted in the chair, leaned forward, then slowly rotated her left shoulder a few times. The motion was impeded by her tight armor and an almost sticky feeling in the joint, not to mention a burning line of discomfort that worked its way down the left side of her spine.

Still sane, Exile?
Hey, guys!
So yeah, I've been playing a lot of Path of Exile lately. Game's fun. It's free to play on Steam (and Xbox), and the new expansion is coming out on the 7th. So much hype!
Apple Bloom was hoping the success would continue to pass all these potions that were a result of trying to get her cutie mark on to somepony else.
This sentence..... I'm in love with it. I'm in love with it and I want to make many foals with it. This is the most elegant sentence I have ever written.
It conveys excellently four different things:
I've just spent about two hours reading through Humility, and damn do I want to write for it again.
So I'm, uh, gonna start doing that soon.
...when you get this really good idea for a fan fic--this sort of adventure/mystery sort of tale feature Gallus, Spike, their respective pasts, their presents, and details on certain long-absent family members--but you know, deep down, you really don't have the time to commit to such a project?
Especially when you're me, and are trying (and only kind of succeeding?) to cut back on long-form fanfics?
Fun fact, this chapter that I've just posted was surprisingly fun, and my second most recent chapter. It was also a chapter I did at byootfick in the dead of night, cranking out roughly four fifths of the entire chapter in one go (roughly 4000 words). I had NEVER been that motivated. This is ALSO a chapter my editor and best friend highly enjoyed, which surprised me a bit. He certainly likes my work, but this was much higher praising than I was used to, which made me a little suspicious, but
