Progress

So, where the hell have I been? Three answers; 1. Writer’s block. 2. Dog sitting the last two weeks. And 3. Writing complications. Meaning what? Well, as you may have noticed, the story has been raising many questions about Celestia’s past and something else I won’t spoil yet. The issue is that I’ve written myself into a proverbial corner where I have to tread on coals not to make the well over a year long story feel deeeply unsatisfying. Most of the plot points involve immorality in some form, and certain aspects I regret altogether with the biggest one being extremely obvious, but I’m someone who believes in doubling down on thier mistakes and trying to dig your way out of them when possible.

The biggest single biggest mistake I made was injuring Scootaloo which I did as I wrote myself into a corner and it wasn’t going to be as big an issue as this story was supposed to end three or so chapters after “The Truth.” By the time I’d come to regret it, it had just come to be accepted as a major part of the story so backpedaling probably wouldn’t go over well. I hate revisionist writing. Can you tell yet this story is basically made up as I go along with only barebones ideas of what'll happen in each chapter? It’s organic but boy can it come back to bite you sometimes. What’s the point in all this? Finding a way to actually finish ROF whilst not making it an anti-climactic ass-pull, and dabbling in things I’m not used to (minor spoiler; a court chapter’s going to be appearing soon), I need time to think. The next three chapters will all come out at once anyway so that’s something. Two months of silence and only one chapter to show for it would probably look like a middle finger.
Thanks for reading.
