The Appeal of Literature · 7:03pm Dec 19th, 2012
More specifically, what I'm doing with The Literary Appeal at this moment. Right now I've been going over my outline and making revisions and changes. There are some things that simply can't work now, and other aspects I've simply thought better of. Nothing's concrete anymore, and to be honest, nothing ever has been. I've got floating notions of what I want and how it's supposed to end, but my stepping stones for how to get there have been.... enlightening.
But it's Finals Week at college right now so I haven't had much time to write, and what few fleeting moments have been spent speedficing to keep my imagination up, and because it's fun with relatively little pressure. To be honest, most of my speedfics have been the result of downing an inordinate amount of off-brand Nyquil and setting my biological clock to "finish before collapsing."
To be honest though, I think I quickly developed a resistance to Nyquil.
OH.
I have a Tumblr now. It has a lot of absolutely useless posts, but it also has a lot of conversations that happen between myself and a group of writers I met at Canterlot Gardens. We did a panel, I may have talked about it. So if you're interested in following the zany antics of a writer and a mind that really can't seem to follow a simple set of rules or resemble even Picasso's interpretation of sanity, go ahead and look here: http://hiddenbrony.tumblr.com/
I'll be over here in my Banana Shoes.
Off-brand Nyquil at high doses? Don't ever do that with anything containing diphenhydramine. Diphenhydramine is a sedating antihistamine which has hallucinogenic effects at elevated doses.
EDIT:
UNPLEASANT hallucinogenic effects, just so we're clear. It's a bad trip.
Good luck with finals! Today is my first real day of vacation!

As you might guess, that's already posted that on said Tumblr.

Pfft, I'm already immune.

I think Nyquil doesn't have diphenhydramine in it. I was just... offering the warning, because sometimes people who've gained a tolerance to one sleep-aid try moving on to another. With diphenhydramine, if you get tolerant to the initial doses, don't push it. Just move on.
Please be careful with your story. I love it and the sequel I'm writing with the knife Twilight fired out of the restaurant window is going good.
Please make sure to keep that part no matter what.

It doesn't have diphenhydramine in it, that's why I'm totally aloof about it.
I hear there's a lot of negative attention towards pony tumblrs recently. The word goes that it's fairly easy to have the tumblr deleted under the pretense of posting explicit underage content. I hope you won't become the target anytime soon.
