Character Development is a bitch... · 10:58pm Mar 12th, 2012
So I've been spending the last few weeks developing a background for Scootaloo, since she doesn't have a good one anywhere in the fanon. She's a hard character to pin down, since we know that she's alive and happy, but we've also never seen any relatives or caretakers. That may change at some point, but I'm not seeing it doing so anytime soon.
I've pretty much got it sorted out, and will be integrating it into the story as I go. I finally got past a page on Chapter four, and once I get into the ground lesson, I think it should flow out quite nicely.
Also, the more I think about Skyhawk, the more I realize she's a condescending bitch. I'm looking forward to writing more of her. Think GLaDOS and Angel Bunny had an angsty love child.
My pre-equestria short is currently not flowing. I have been trying my damdest to make something come out on it, but so far nothing but more back story. I constantly need to remind myself that I'm not writing a "Pre-Equestrian History" textbook.
In other words, Igor Stravinsky is music king, and Diamond Aircraft sucks.
Now, back to writing. I'm not going to set a deadline for Chapter 4, partly because I don't know if I can meet it, but mostly because deadlines are for the professionals, and I am most definitely a rank amateur.
