Blog Post #10 and Textbook Soldier Mini-Hiatus · 5:44am Jul 8th, 2019

Yes, the dreaded words are here. No, not "New Blog Post from Backslasherton" I mean "Story Hiatus". No, I'm not not writing, I'm just not writing new stuff (temporarily). I've been rereading Textbook Soldier to try and remember everything, and I felt the entire time that there was no sense of coherency. Like, nothing really felt connected and planned. What was worse, still, is that I started a lot of subplots that I forgot about or that were irrelevant to the story. And then...

I was looking at the analytics for Textbook soldier, and I noticed that this chapter brought with it a much higher spike in views just after publishing. Chapters 7 and 8 had 437 and 433, respectively, on the day of their publishing, and Textbook soldier, not even halfway through the day, has 581 views so far. I'm 100% sure it's because of PillowRabbit's amazing cover art!

Textbook Soldier: Chapter 9 · 4:23am Jun 8th, 2019

It's done, but it needs editing. Look for it coming soon.

Also, if you're interested in doing a bit of pre-reading (whether it be just for this chapter or the whole story from here on) send me a message!

See you all soon!

Also, I just realized I sent this exactly one month after my last one. Jesus, this writer's block was terrible.

New Cover Art! · 9:43pm May 7th, 2019

We've got new cover art for Textbook Soldier! All the thanks and praise to PillowRabbit and their amazing skills that brought you this art! The terrible attempt at graphic design to put the text over it is the work of yours truly. I'm sticking to writing from now on.

Cover Art:

Let me know what y'all think!

Long time no jack shit from my end.

Sorry about that.

Work on new stuff is going slow, not gonna lie. Been having real tough writer's block (Maybe something else, too, since I misspelled "tough" three times now, including in this explanation). The thing that pisses me off, though, is the fact that I've already plotted out what I want to do and where I want to go with the chapter, but I just can't force myself to write it. This is garbage.

If you need a little bit of inspiration, check this video out:

It reminded me of why I do this. Not for the feature box, but because you all enjoy what I do. So from me, I want to thank all of you for supporting me and my writing. It's not the greatest work of literature by far, but I appreciate your support nonetheless.

See you all soon,
Backslasherton.

I've just found out that on the MLP website, they have a map of the Equestria Girls world.

Not So Late Night Blog Post #5 · 3:47pm Mar 19th, 2019

Long time no see from me. I just wanted to come in and say I'm not dead, and that this story is still going strong. I've been having some serious writer's block and also been distracted by other stories and other ideas floating around my head. Plus, I actually started reading stories on here again, which is something I don't often do anymore. I can never find really good stories that just draw me in completely and captivate me, leaving me wanting more.

Until now.

Haven't done one of these in a hot minute. Good to be back.

I've got this annoying as feeling where I've pretty much planned the whole story in my head, but I can't get the words to paper. It's less writer's block and more that I'm not satisfied with literally anything I've written. I get a few paragraphs in with some dialogue, a solid start to the chapter, but then I look at it and hate it all and in a fit of rage...

I'm sorry, guys. I lied to all of you. It is absolutely inexcusable, and I understand that now. It was a moment of poor foresight and irrational decision making. This breach of trust will take a long time to patch, with much efforts on either side. I will do everything in my power, with the help of some trusted appointed individuals, to bridge this gap that has been formed between us. There is nothing I'd like to do more than help you all in however you may need to reconcile with my mistakes. I
