    Well, Everybody, It's Been Fun

    It's been fun, guys, but I'm finally finished with FiM and all that that implies. Maybe it's sudden, and maybe it seems a little odd, but it really is time for me to move on. My purpose in life can never be fulfilled if all I ever do is lurk around the Internet. Having said that, this is--indeed--the end of the road for me.

    What's everyone up to?

    It sure has been a while since I've done one of these, hasn't it?

    As for me . . . summer reading . . . . That should explain my situation, I trust :facehoof:

    So, what's everyone up to? How've things changed for all of you guys?

    Name Change

    To be honest, I never thought I would do this, but I actually changed my name.

    It just seems to fit me a bit more, I think.

    Whatev's.

    Everyone loves depressing poetry, right?

    Here's just a little something I wrote a few minutes ago.

    If you've ever felt like whatever you were doing was meaningless for whatever reason, then you should know that I pretty much wrote this to embody that very feeling of emptiness.

Motivational Strategies? · 5:52pm Mar 19th, 2013

I'm sitting in Law Society right now doing absolutely nothing, other than writing this blog, obviously.

It's just that . . I should be writing . . right?

The urge to write never comes to me at a time that makes sense, honestly.

Are there any strategies that you use to motivate yourself, or stay motivated?

Honestly, I suffer from serious motivational issues to the point that I need medication for it.

That said, I find that just opening up gdocs--or your writing program of choice--and just tapping buttons helps. Like, don't look at it like you are going to write. I'll just see what I have, kinda lazily make some edits and additions... then go from there.

Music, pressure, bets, internal schedules, 30-minute prompts and such all help as well, from what I've seen.

I might try a couple of those.

IRL, a friend of mine constantly jokes that I have "terrible grammar", and that I should "just quit" writing.

It's a good source of motivation, for me, at least, to have someone inspire me in ways that allow me to laugh at myself - most of the time for trying too hard.

You, without a doubt, have law society.

Yes, at this very moment :trollestia:

i usually carry a book with me around school or anywhere and whenever an idea stricks me i start writing the next chapter to my story, i have a whole story in a jernal now...well 4 chapters

Do you write down any idea that comes into your head?

That's a lesson for me to learn :facehoof:

To be honest, I only write down about 60% of the stuff that comes to my mind.

The stuff that doesn't get written down is lost forever :raritycry:

935032
then keep a book with you, you might need those 40% later on! the jernal used to be my diary, then i thre away the crappy diary entires and started writing my story in it, all i ever wrote about was my puppy anyway and how she hated me

I will take this to heart.
