Twixie's return to writing, some things she needs to get off her chest, and what she has been doing as of late. · 6:53am Jan 27th, 2014
Oh how Twixie loves her bed and "Twilight Sparkle".
After some time of contemplation, and many failed trips to the doctor, Twixie thinks there are still some thing she needs to talk about. Her most recent failed attempts at writing were spur-of-the-moment ideas that were neither thought through nor particularly meaningful to Twixie. I like to think I write from the heart, and lately I haven't had my heart in too much of anything. Twixie could blame modern medicine, those around her, and a whole slew of other things around her for this shortcoming. What can be said is that something has chemically reverted back to the way it was when Twixie wrote about the things that mean a lot to her.
That said...
Lovesick
For the last few months, Twixie has discovered a story that is beyond fantasy, surrealism at its finest. She didn't create it as she has with other stories, but more found it through her own self-reflection. What resulted was "Lovesick" (updating at least twice a week for 15 weeks!). This story is intimate to me and based on my own experience of learning every life is valuable. It is not by any means some biography nor is it a story in the classic sense. It is a compilation of 29 short musings that I had about Rarity, countless other concerns I had about her life, and the meaning I found by writing them. ( I identify more with her than any other pony, even Trixie).
It is a pretty decent account of where I "felt" like I was for these last months and I highly encourage anyone who thinks they're going mad in this unpredictable world to at least consider it. What it means to me is hope, and maybe I won't be alone in that.
Other questions you may have of Twixie.
Will she update the Dusty Letters in the next two weeks?
Yes, Twixie is hard at work on the next chapters. Her vision for what she has been creating is still the same, but she has been shaken up lately, so expect that to come through a little. Still, she has been reading a lot lately and concocted some surprises. A small teaser is that she's placed Rainbow Dash into the main role of the fourth story with Dauntless and Pinkie Pie in the fifth with The Angel. Since she started writing again a few weeks ago, some super neat ideas have come through.
What about the other stories?
She would prefer not think of the stories that she wrote between now and when she took a break. Of Rocks and Showmares will need a facelift before she decides to touch that with a ten foot pole. The more current stories take precedent, but in the future when they're done, Twixie might go back and pick them up.
Was it you who commissioned that Princess Illustrious plush awhile back?
Yes.
It's really great to have you back and writing again. I am a fan of alot of your writings but i just hope you write only when you feel up to it. Don't push yourself just to please those around you. Love ya.
THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TWIXIE LIVES!
So thoughts on Season 4 thus far? And I can't wait to see more updates.
wooo!
I've always been partial to Fluttershy, as far as relating went. But I feel like, sometimes, I read too much into her, or in places that aren't actually there. Nonetheless, any story I've read by you has been pretty heartfelt, which is something I need to learn how to do. What better way than reading more pony words, about the pony I like the most?
Yay your back! And you brought the dusty letters with you! Also, what does it say about me in regards to that series that just that teaser had me trying to work out more of what's going on...
Finished re-reading Dusty Letters (for the dozenth time at least) just a bit ago and wanted to reacquaint myself with your blog posts, especially those concerning the Closest Companions series. I'd forgotten that you said the 4th would be mainly Rainbow, with the 5th expanding on Dauntless and The Angel (both of which fascinate me)
Despite it being overs 9 years since the last update, I still hold out hope that you may return to complete this series (as well as Lovesick, which I find reflects much of my own mental state) In the off-chance you see this, know that I'm wishing you well, and that your work has made a huge impact on my life
