Why is it that anything under 7k words now is something I consider 'not long enough'?

I rally do feel like it is a perfectly serviceable chapter, but there is still this nagging feeling like it is too short.

Iunno, if I had me a regular proofreader I could bounce my fears and anxieties onto them, but I am still flying solo, sadly.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the chapter.

Well, here it is, chapter six. It's been a long time coming - especially the Discord/Celestia scene - but I hope it was worth the wait.

Look forward to a new chapter every week at or around this same time. And help keep me on that promise by following me on Twitter and Tumblr (and here) to bug me about it.

Enjoy the new chapter and the new movie. I might share my thoughts on it soon. ^^

So, apparently none of the theaters near me are doing Thursday night pre-screenings for the MLP movie so I shall have to go on Friday night. With hope I'll be going with friends, because I don't want to be the only person dressed up. :P There is also an official 'Brony Meetup' showing on Saturday but I don't know if I can go.

Anxiety sucks

To some it doesn't look bad

But my mind holds proof

___________

My loved ones love me

I don't think I deserve it

But God says I'm wrong

I just need a break

A pause button for my life

This is too much, man

Maybe I should call them S4? Sx4?

Anyway, here is a dumb and completely non-canon scene I wrote when I needed to write words and couldn't think of what to do next during NaNo '13.

The moral of the story? Keep writing, I guess. Even when all you can come up with is silly stuff like this. When all else fails, just copy a scene from a movie or tv show :P

I might have plugged this awesome lady's vlogs before, but here I am again doing it because I just find them so gosh darned helpful. ^^

These two of her videos are on the age-old question of when to 'show' versus when to 'tell' in writing. (You can view the show vid here and the tell vid here)

The TL;DR of the videos if you don't feel like watching them are basically this:

Hey y'all,

Well I've got a second bit from my old drafts for you to look at. This time concerning Applejack. There's one medium-sized spoiler for the later chapters of DiH, just so you know.
