So as I promised, and on a slightly less contentious note than my last blog, have a blog post about writing!

So a funny thing that happened when I was writing chapter 2 of Twilight Sparkle vs the Equestrian Library Association:

I went to write the first scene where Twilight is actually interacting with patrons--the one with Davenport and an at-that-point unspecified pony--and I came to a realization. You see, Davenport was supposed to get into an argument with another male pony.

Chapter 2: In which Twilight Sparkle misunderstands body positivity*, Volume Control misunderstands the ELA's organization system, and Fedora Mask misunderstands how much people who aren't him want to read jokes about Middle English.

Okay, that's a melodramatic title (it sounded too cool to get rid of when I typed it), when all I'm really trying to say is:

Happy 2014, everybody! My new year's resolution is to make more unnecessary blogposts to clog your feed to whine about not writing enough more to write more!

And it wasn't bad. It wasn't very good either, but it had enjoyable parts. Anyway, I liveblogged as I went (resulting in it taking me something like 4 hours to finish a 75 minute movie--which is why I do not liveblog things because I can't watch and write simultaneously and I refuse to not pay attention to either), so for anyone who is interested, please see below a compilation of my most funny and/or pointed remarks:

COMPLAINING!

And now that I have your attention, sex. (Er... Wait, that doesn't sound right...)

So on the whole things are going pretty well and I'm over my writer's block and Twilight Sparkle vs the ELA chapter 2 is underway. But as is often the case in life, there are still a few things to complain about.

So I survived the pilot shoot. It was an amazing experience, and also completely exhausting. I was not expecting to be working 12+ hour days at a location an hour from where I live.
