New Life · 6:40pm Jul 24th, 2013
Okay everypony, here's the deal:
I've said for months that I'm probably going to be posting very little due to the schedule I'm having to live at the moment. I don't get much free time on the computer at the times I'm most creative (usually after 11:30 pm) for reasons that I won't go into. However, due to the very generous actions of a friend, I think that I will be able to revitalize 20% Sweeter.
I spent some time and almost 3,000 words working on There and Back Again, and it was terrible. I thought I was on to a good idea, but it was only after I had written the first chapter that I realized there was no way for me to emulate Tolkien. He was a much better author than I could ever hope to be in my wildest dreams. For that and a few other reason, There and Back Again is officially scrapped. No more of my effort will be going into that travesty.
That being said, one of my friends went through and shared my story with a bunch of groups, and it has gotten quite a few more views. The positive response towards it has encouraged me to take it back up and finish it like I promised. Also, I can ensure the quality of my work because I have also found an editor who will be working with me.
I am genuinely excited for the future now that I'm back on track and have been reminded that people do in fact like my story. The support is, once again, overwhelming, and I thank each and every one of you.
Off to write!
