News Just In!: Comet Confirmed as Dumb-Dumb · 7:59pm Nov 21st, 2022
Self-inflicted tragedy occurred today on the FiMfiction account of author Luminous Comet (age redacted), when over 1000 words of a new short story were lost. "It's really my own fault," the author told us with a rueful smile, before going on to blame everything but themselves, including but not limited to their computer, capitalism, and God.
This afternoon, Comet finally began writing a short story they had been thinking about for days, getting a good way into the first draft. "It was going to be really cute and probably not as funny as I want it to be, but still amusing," Comet explained. After writing over one thousand words, they began to feel drowsy and laid down for a depression nap. After waking up far too late, they discovered that their fridge was empty and thus headed out to acquire groceries, even taking a detour to pick up kebab for dinner. "You're not putting all of that in the article, right?" they questioned us. When Comet returned home, they discovered that their computer had automatically started updating in their absence.
"I didn't save my progress," Comet commented, "and I'm not even sure why. I was just so sleepy and hungry and depressed." Among their excuses, we couldn't find a single good reason why they couldn't have just clicked the big green button even once.
When asked whether they would rewrite the story from the beginning, Comet said "Well, yeah, probably, I still want to finish it and put it up. But consider my motivation pretty much tanked for today."
At no point had they mentioned motivation for their other open projects, nor the sequel they kinda-sorta-maybe promised to write soon-ish.
