Hey so I was watching some mlp episodes to plot out some events for the future because I love procrastinating; when I happened to recall that Applejack has a dog that I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT.

Winona hasn't been accounted for in any of my chapters, even though Applejack definitely has her at this point; so now I'm feeling like a bit of a fool. Sure, I can easily just insert her in relevant places from here on out, but I should've remembered sooner.

I've had this picture in another tab pretty much the entire time I've been writing the next chapter, because it's just the perfect facial reference, and she's so pretty.

Look at that mare. Is there any wonder Light's in love with her?

chapter's probably coming out tomorrow

It has come to my attention throughout the course of a lot of time thinking as well as an increasing number of comments that I have become very boring.

Hold your gasps, there's more.

Anyone who is caught up on the story can easily tell that there is a big problem plaguing it. Well, that's actually subjective, but hopefully everyone can at least recognize the problem's merits for the general populace. The problem, as it were, is a severe lack of anything interesting happening.

I made plans to finalize edits and have the chapter out by now, but I had tO ENTERTAIN SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED COMPANY. WHY DO I EVEN HAVE FRIENDS ALL THEY DO IS DISTRACT ME FROM BEING ANTISOCIAL?

i'm really tired but I'm gonna try to power through and get the chapter out in the next few hours

I hate third person limited. Why did I decide to write my story in third person?

Why do I hate myself?

New segment on the JinxTJL show: letting my guard down and actually talking about things.

Thing of the day: Me freaking out about future chapters because I know so little about science; not realizing that 90% of people who read fanfiction will accept anything as long as it sounds cool enough.

This has concluded Jinx's daily freakout; please return to your regular, mundane lives until next I call upon you.

>be me

>write thousands of words of a pony monologuing in his head

>forget how to write the pony talking to other ponies

I think I'm projecting onto my writing.

Yeah, I've distilled my writing strategy into a concentrated essence.

Wait a few weeks without writing more than a thousand words or two, and then, at a randomly chosen time, write seven thousand words in a single day.

Well, that's my new record, so obviously not that exactly many; but that's definitely how I do things.

Also, yeah, I just put seven thousand words into the next chapter, but it's not done yet.

...That I could go back and redo the first three parts of chapter 40. :T

It's been a general slog althroughout, right? But the first three parts were just so- blegh. I had barely any idea whatsoever about how to take the scene, and rather than try to pen out a clear outline and really think through character motivations, I went instead for heavy-handed descriptors and 'moments.'

Well, there are a million different ways i'm doing that, but the fact that I haven't read any fanfiction since I started writing my own is kind of especially egregious.

So I'm gonna do that. Read. I'm gonna go read some stuff, hopefully good stuff; thereby increasing my ability to write and hopefully helping to correct some of my issues.
