Remember me? · 9:32pm
Yeah, I realize I've been a little quiet lately. But that's because I've had a loooooot on my plate lately. I recently graduated from high school, and, as valedictorian of my graduating class, I had to give a speech in front of hundreds of people.
If that wasn't the most terrifying moment of my life, I don't know what was.
Anyways, people seemed to like it a lot, which made me feel loads better. The inner conflict between the love I share for my classmates and the hate I have for public speaking meant that I spent a ton of free time writing and revising this speech. I learned a lot through the process, and in the end, I think it was a good thing for me to experience.
This past week, I've been staying out at the beach with my friends. While seemingly 90% of people just drank their asses off and wound up puking in their tents, my friends and I had a blast playing cornhole, euchre, and hearts (fucking queen of spades).
So now comes the time for goodbyes. With the end of this "last hurrah", my high school years are wrapping up, and with it, so are some of the relationships I've formed over the years. While I probably won't really miss some of these people all that much, there are those coming goodbyes that will really hurt. In fact, one of my absolute best friends leaves for Georgia next week Friday, and I probably won't see him for a really long time. Which, while it hurts, is going to make seeing him again an event to wait for.
I guess it's all just a part of growing up.
Now, back to writing pony stories instead of speeches.
See you soon,
TSB










Read These! 









I was looking back at faves when I came upon The Things We Leave Behind. I realized that I should totally be following you!
Thanks for the fav!
Cheers!
Hello sir or madame,
I am Obsidian Raindrop the creator of a group known as The Great and Not Obsessive Trixie I am here to ask if you would like your story to be added to my group.
The only requirements are:
1. You have a story about Trixie and she is not completely obsessing over her lose at the hands of Twilight. (She can hate that she lost to twilight and even try and beat again but she just can't be be so obsessive like she is in most stories. )
2. She may be a supporting character or a main character it does not matter.
3. i can`t think of a third thing
It's me Osidian again asking you guys to do stuff you don't want to.
1. tell me the name of your story and the one folder you want it in
2. join the group it is really cool and we'll soon get a banner up
3. fallow because it will boost my confidence
Sorry to all those who either received this email twice or who don`t have trixie as a main or supporting character. Also just PM me if you want your story added.
Yours truly, Obsidian Raindrop
>>299316 I think I will sometime soon. It's been a while.
Hey. Remember the good ol' days when you used to visit the IRC?
Yeah?
I miss those. Get your ass back in that channel. >:
>>269846 That's very nice of you to offer! I would love to hear some examples, as I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing.
Would you mind sending these thoughts in a PM, though? I think it's better to communicate that way.
So I just got around to giving Your Beutifull a read. It has a decent premise, the perfect attention-grabbing title, and an author with a solid grasp of English writing; yet in spite of all that it utterly fails to be a tight story. It saddens me to see how many of the little touches -- which clearly saw care and effort go into them -- ultimately hurt the story rather than help it.
I will be happy to expand on it and provide examples if you're interested.

Um... wow. I'm seriously flattered. You have no idea how much that means coming from someone like you, especially since I followed you because of one of your sadfics (Dreaming of Me).
I... seriously can't even think of what to say, except thanks. Thanks so much for saying such kind words, and also for the favorite. It really does mean a lot.
(Also, sorry for making you cry
)
No...freakin'...way...
I had no idea you wrote TTWLB! That was the first fic to make me cry, which have only been 3 fics ever, MLD not even being on this list. To this day, it's still my absolute favorite sadfic, and I drew huge inspiration from it to write my own sadfics.
Well, shit. It's just beautiful, what can I say.
>>211407 Much better. Again, thank you. x}
