    Cut Story Ideas

    A year has passed since I finally finished This Can't Be Happening. Quite a lot has happened since then for me and as I predicted the end of that story didn't come with much fanfare, but it was at least a huge load off and satisfying feeling to finish it after all that time. That's left me with Don't Go To Sleep, the other story abandoned by my lazy update schedule. Back when I finished TCBH I

    This Can't Be Happening is Finished (Finally)!

    Well, it only took me just short of 7 years, but yes I finally finished this damn story. It took me so long to finish the thing that I honestly doubt there's anyone left to read this blog, but damn it all I'm happy to have this thing done and there's a lot I want to say about it even if I'm just talking into the void.

    A question to potential remaining Don't Go To Sleep readers

    Something something, it's been months since my last update, something something you know the rest. I'm gonna put a fork in mentioning the wait and first talk about Don't Go To Sleep before I ramble about This Can't Be Happening in a different blog. Alright, so, with one long drawn out story finally done the question remains what to now do with the other. So to keep this short and sweet, I'm

    Laziness and Stubbornness

    Hello again. It's been a while, hasn't it? How are the kids? Is the missus doing well? Good, good.

    Do the impossible, see the invisible

    So, judging by the whopping 7 views on my last blog post, I think it's safe to assume that a lot of my followers have either left the website by now or are tired of my shit after the terrible update schedule that was 2013 for me. Or maybe it had to do with my last post being a wall of text. Either way, I think people will be glad to hear that another update for This Can't Be Happening is out!

Sorry For the Wait · 3:12am May 2nd, 2012

The newest chapter of This Can't Be Happening took way too long to be made than it should have, and I'd like to apologize for that. I'm going to be making time from now on to get my stories wrote, and I can guarantee that when you see the next chapter, it won't be as long as a month to be up.

As far as the future of the story is concerned, I at least do know where I'm going with almost the entire remainder of the story, even the endings. I've been giving the roles of the Villain(s) I'll use late in the story some good thought too, and with everything considered, I have what I hope will be a pretty entertaining story lined up for you guys. Hope you continue to enjoy.


Also, I'd like to thank Brony_Fife for the awesome advice he gave me and editing help in the newest chapter. It was a big help dude.

Aw, thanks man.
Have you written down all your ideas into a story bible? That would be something you should do if you're serious about finishing this story. Basically, the bible should be in sections:

>Characters in this Story, and What Their Parts Are
>Places in This Story, and What It's Like to Be There
>Important MacGuffins, and Why They're Important
>Overall Plot Progression

Don't just keep all your ideas in your head. The human memory is a miserable animal;many important elements can slip away for no reason. Sometimes I forget what I'm going to do when I enter a room - yet I can remember some stupid board game commercial I saw when I was six.
So there's some more advice: get a great idea, write it down. Keep a notepad and pen on your person in case you get great ideas, then add them to your story bible.
