    It's that time.

    Well, it's about that time. As much as I hate leaving things unfinished I just haven't been feeling much love for MLP in a while. The stories here no longer interest me and I really haven't watched an epsiode in at least a year if not more. Why am I doing this? I guess to head off any questions as to where I've been or if such and such a story will be continued.

    He's not dead. He just left early to avoid the rush.

    It's not often that the death of a well known figure affects me. When Leonard Nimoy died I merely said, "that's too bad" even though I was a massive Trekkie in my youth. When Robin Williams died I said, "what a shame" even though I thought his early stand up days were some of the funniest things I had ever seen. But this is possibly the first time I've felt actual sadness at the passing of a

    I've gone through a bit of a dry spell, not much in the way of inspiration and have a half-dozen things sitting on the back burner waiting for me to pick them up again.

    Plagiarism 2: Electric Boogaloo

    Guess who's back? Everybody's favorite thief, "TheSequentialArtMan". He's back and hasn't changed one bit. In fact I checked his story and while he put some of the chapters away, a great deal of his first chapter is still lifted verbatim from "A Doorway to Another Place".

    Plagiarism or "I couldn't think of anything so I copied you".

    It's not a nice thing when somebody takes your work and copies it. I'm not talking somebody that takes the idea or even the concept and reworks it as their own. No, I mean when somebody goes as far as to actually steal your words and then acts like it's no big deal.

Taking a bit of a break · 2:42am Jan 13th, 2013

I've been having a bit of writer's block for the past couple weeks. I pull up an unfinished story, stare at it, write a line or two but just can't get into the swing of it.

My wife left to go to the gym which left me all alone this morning and I felt this was the perfect time to work on the chapter talking about Sterling and Glenda but nothing was coming to me. I just sat in front of the PC and stared at the page. I was still staring when she came back and hadn't written one damn thing. After lunch I come back and still nothing. I prep tonight's dinner and still nothing and finally now, sitting in front of the PC and I'm just done.

So unfortunately the next chapter will be delayed until I get those creative juices working again. I'm sure my wife will love it, suddenly I'll be giving her more attention and have more time to work in the kitchen. That's it for tonight. Hopefully I'll get over this writer's block soon and get back to finishing this story.
