I’ve always wanted to tell stories, I’ve always struggled to do so. I wish and hope that I will be able to one day.

    Progress, close to next chapter

    Wrote 800 more words on Crystal Reincarnation today :rainbowdetermined2:
    On top of that I also went through what I've already written, fixing spelling errors and making sure that it was coherent and consistent with the prior chapters. It's probably still not gonna be a masterpiece of any sort but I'm beginning to like it, so I think you might as well, I hope.:twilightsheepish:

    The second step

    For the first time in my history on the site I have released a second chapter of the story I'm working on within a week of the first.
    Considering my prior track record of having a two-year lapse between chapters, I'm really rather proud of that.

    The First Step

    It is with a measure of pride and joy that I take my first step towards progress today.
    Having taken my medicine and sat down with an old story I've always wanted to explore and put to paper, I've released my first new story in years!

    Understanding my limits, and an explanation for those that'd like to know

    Unsure if anyone really reads these things, but I'll write one just for the sake of it. If nothing else it might help me look back on things in the future, hopefully wiser.

Progress, close to next chapter · 12:51am January 13th

Wrote 800 more words on Crystal Reincarnation today :rainbowdetermined2:
On top of that I also went through what I've already written, fixing spelling errors and making sure that it was coherent and consistent with the prior chapters. It's probably still not gonna be a masterpiece of any sort but I'm beginning to like it, so I think you might as well, I hope.:twilightsheepish:

Gonna write probably about 1000 to about 2000 more words and then go through it all again fixing and editing anything that needs correction.

I have my final exam on Thursday next week, so I have to do some studying for that, which means I probably won't be able to write all that much in the following days, but I should be able to write more after I'm done with that. Regardless I'm beginning to get back into the groove of the story, getting to feel it again, fantasize about possibilities and whatnot.:moustache:

For perhaps the first time ever since I started trying to write, I'm actually having a little bit of fun with it, not a lot but there is a certain challenge in trying to depict the perspectives of the characters in different ways, which I find to be somewhat rewarding. I've also done some personality tests and character building for both Flurry and Darrach, which makes it a little easier to write for them in a more consistent manner in regards to their individual personalities and quirks.

Anyways I thank you for reading this and checking in. I hope you're all doing splendidly and promise to have something out soon. Thank you for your patience.:twilightsmile:

That story isn't dead?
Can't recall being hired to provide motivational resurrection :rainbowderp:

I never considered it dead myself, but I understand how it could be perceived that way. The inability to continue it filled me with a great deal of frustration and shame in the past... It never got off the ground due to some limitations that I've since discovered within my own psyche.
I've gotten some medicine to deal with some of those issues now, and with it I've got the tools and drive to try and pick up where I left off and write more for it.

I always found the concept I'd come up with fascinating to explore, but I doubted my own ability to do so. I've cast most of that doubt aside now, and embraced that perhaps I'll simply fail to make it the best it could possibly be. Better that it is written and not live up to it's full potential, than never written at all.:rainbowdetermined2:

Still I'll try my best to make it memorable, interesting, engaging and a little fun here and there. Thanks for checking in after so long btw. I've no illusion of expectation that many people will necessarily care for an update to it. Still I'll dedicate the effort for those like you that might still have at least a faint interest in it.:pinkiesad2:

Awesome :rainbowdetermined2:👍
Who give up has already lost, this can only get better with every chapter added :pinkiesmile:
