    I think my job is trying to give me PTSD.

    I was awoken by a phone call this morning. Work asked me to come in, as things were crazy. I did so, was there from around 9:30 AM to 6PM. Worked without a lunch break, I might add.

    The Moral Event Horizon.

    Gonna discuss another trope today in relation to the Quiververse. In this case, it's the Moral Event Horizon. In simple terms, this is the point a character passes that forever marks them as EVIL and potentially irredeemable. TVTropes itself lists a few examples from FiM, and I won't repeat them here...though I will say that

    It never ends. It just...never...ends...

    So work decided to throw another curve ball at me. My supervisor has been transferred to another store. That means that I've had six supervisors in my department across six years, and it could take weeks, maybe even months, for us to get a new one. Which means I'm going to continue to be worked to death.

    So, I'm writing again.

    It's not much, but I got some writing done today. Now, be warned, it's going to be a very long time before I do anything related to the Quiververse again, but I'm hoping that time frame will be measured in months rather than a year.

    Still, at least I'm making some progress.

    A question to my readers.

    When I started serious work on the Quiververse, I made myself a promise. That promise was thus, to do the best I can to use whatever characters appear in a story to the best of my ability. I like to think I've done that, as various canon characters are reasonably consistent with their portrayals in the show (and arguably are undergoing development, though that's up to the reader), and my OCs have

Some progress is always better than none, is how I look at it. :pinkiesmile:

Same, though I wish that I was making more.

I'm currently going through a dry spell with my original works, so don't get discouraged. So long as your heart is still in writing, you can make your stories work :raritywink:

The problem is less a dry spell and more a simple lack of time. As I've reported before, my job exhausts me, and right now, it's demanding a great deal. Couple that with the continuing headaches of attempting to find a new place and getting distracted by everyday life, and it's very difficult for me to sit down and get into the right headspace to write.

But I want to. Dang it, I want to.

Then I think you need to schedule some time to relax and let off some steam. I've been doing writing prompt exercises to keep my writing gears greased (if that makes sense).

I can try that.

Well... regarding what you said in your replies, and as someone who's currently having the same issue, I get it.

Please don't be too harsh on yourself over this. At the end of the day, it's your health that matters the most. The fact you're still making progress already says a lot.

As always, wishing you the best, and keeping my fingers crossed for you. :)

Thanks for both the sympathy and the encouragement. Hopefully, things will clear up and I'll be more productive in the near-future.
