On a bitter and sad note...

I don't know how to say this. I guess I'd have to say I'm broken. I have the desire to write (and draw) more, but I just can't muster up the will to. I have no motivation to do so. I just hate this. UGGGH, why is trying so hard?

Relax, left, watch a movie, play a good game, talk with your friends, play with a beautiful girl. Do things.

Take a break :P
Other than that, I don't have any real advice...

I suppose I can't provide too much inspiration. I wish I could, though. That said, what do you LIKE to do? I mean, don't force yourself to work on something unless you're in the mood to do it. If you're doing something you truly love working on, well... it won't feel like work.

And when you love doing something... you'll always get the motivation to do it.

1229085 Thanks *huggles* I wish I had someone to snuggle with
1229134 That's just it I want off of my break. Yes, you did fuck up. *huggles*
1229342 I've received this advice before, but here's the thing. I love writing and drawing, but the sad part is I don't put the effort in. I just hate myself because I keep starting but give up because I don't want to put the work in to be better. And my friends telling me to write and draw is the cause of like half of my deviantart and the latter two chapters of my story. *huggles*

THANKS EVERYONE

1229481 Well don't do it because you feel pushed to, do it because you truly WANT to. People think that the future will never come and that they'll be stuck in a rut. Heck, I've taken several weeks without tending to my own stories, so that I can help edit the stories of others.

But for the skilled and talented at what they do, for those who can truly work hard at it... for those who matter in life? They'll reach that moment of inspiration, and if not, then by whatever great-and-powerful creature might rule over the universe... THAT MOMENT will reach YOU.

[castlemaid]

1229591 Understood, my current plan is to wait until I have inspiration naturally. So until then, *huggles* *snuggles* and and wave goodbye

[ShimmeringStallion]

1229612 Nnngh... f-fine. *snuggles* I hope inspiration reaches you, soon. It'd be a shame if it didn't: You're very talented.

[castlemaid]

1229622 *sniffles* You really think I'm talented?

1229638 Hey! Why are you surprised!? You act like that's unexpected or something!

You sayin' I don't know talent when I see it!?

This is something that was originally sketched by hand by yours truly.
The original sketch (yes I know I forgot the tail)

1231188 Oddly enough, I often forget tails in my own written works. MANES, I remember, but it's rare when an adventure story suddenly pays attention to the backside of a pony, let alone the tail itself.

Huh, w-wait... *tilts head to see the last one*

...

*crack*

... ow.

[castlemaid]

1231193 Yes rarity has a baseball bat, and she knows how to swing it.

[ShimmeringStallion]

1231201 Maybe she could swing it at my neck: I kinda... hurt it while trying to turn my head to see what the picture looked like... still can't see it clearly. Blegh.

[castlemaid]

1231202 Here, Is this better?

[ShimmeringStallion]

1231206 Much better, thank you!

Let's see... it says "Mafia", but it seems more like a baseball/softball variation of Rarity. I mean, she DOES have a cap seemingly behind her head... But I really like the details of the pose: knee slightly bent, unused hand isn't just lax on the side: It's still used in her pose, giving off a look of "class", while the baseball bat doesn't seem quite out of place. The hair seems like it could be a bit more "defined", and I also like how her other hand is hidden from sight: Is she trying to warn whoever she's looking at? I get that idea from seeing this.

"It'd be a shame if you were to underestimate me, darling..."

1231245 The hat's not supposed to be there and it's a sketch, I didn't think it up. It's from this th00.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2013/183/2/c/mlp_mafia_by_ss2sonic-d6blv7u.jpg
