    BREAKING NEWS!

    I have great news for everypony. I have beaten back the evil of writer's block and have gotten back into the habit of writing once more. So with that said, I am currently working on chapter six of "I'm Not A Mare". And I have an idea and plan for chapter seven. I hope everypony is excited as I am for the next update. If you want to check out my non-mlp stories, please check out

    I did another crazy thing

    As you have guessed by the title of the post is that I have done something. So the crazy thing that I have done is created a discord group for fanfic writers and just everyday writers. I will leave the link below. I hope to see many of you there.

    I live

    I am very sorry for stepping away for so long. It was never planned or anything. Life happened and hit me hard. I know my words are not worth much cause I took a three-year gab. Writing stories shouldn't be like taking time away from college. So with the sorry out of the way; let me drop some news on everypony. Early this year, I came to some truths about myself. I was a stallion who was not

Stuff · 4:37am Feb 22nd, 2014

I call this blog stuff because I don't know what else to call it. I have a few things to say about different things. First on my list is about how Shining and Flash are not truly freaking out about being turn to mares. I have my reasons for not freaking out just yet. I hope in time once this story is finish, that some things will be clear. Second thing is about edits. I am hoping that they will be finish in the next few days. And on that note I want to thank everybody who has been so kind and helpful with me on this story. There lot you I want to thank. Without your help this story wouldn't have made it as far as it has.

Third, I am taking a break from 'I'm Not a Mare' after the last edits have been made. I just need to take a few steps back, clear my head and work on something else before I step back into working on the third chapter. I hope everyone can understand that I love writing this story a tone and that a lot of you are the reason I keep working on it. If I'm going to be truth here, all the nice things you have commented, the likes, and the follows are the only real reason I'm still even writing at all here. Deep down I feel like I suck at being a writer. But every time I feel like that, I look at the comments you guys have left and that just picks me back up and kicks my flank back into gear.

Thank you for even liking my work and I hope everyone has a nice day or night.

Deep down I feel like I suck at being a writer.

I can definitely relate to this part. Getting a lot of likes and comments but still thinking that you suck at writing.

Well, not everyone is going to like what you write and how your head canon develops. But still, hope you find something you do enjoy writing bout to take your mind off of it. :twilightsmile:

I've got a few guesses on why they're not freaking out:
1. As trained guards, they're good at not freaking out when others would.
2. The transformation is slowly rewriting their memories.

I did find it odd that Twinkle didn't say something like "We're a couple?" when she saw Gleaming again.

Don't fret about needing a break. All the best things need a break once and a while. Farmland, writers, computers:derpytongue2: You get the point.

I would like to let those who have read and replied to this blog know that I deleted chapter two of 'I'm Not a Mare.' It should have never have been written. I'm sorry about everything.

1862021
With the good must come the bad. All is forgiven... On the stipulation that a better chapter 2 gets posted at some point.

1862021 I did like it, though. It was mostly well written.

1862026
I can't make that promise, sorry.

1862027
The other commenters would disagree with you on that.

1862030 I'm mostly seeing positive remarks, and a few critiques on grammar.

1862028
I suppose that shall be acceptable. -snaps fingers- It is done.


1862030
I liked it too, I just saw problems. It was fairly well written, and I have seen much, much worse. I have stupidly high standards, so my harshness should be taken with a pillar of salt.

1862038
1862037
There where a few on other stuff as well, it had to be removed. It was a mistake even posting this damn story.

1862049
Don't you ever tell yourself that. THAT is the only mistake you have made, rushing a chapter aside. This story has a wonderful premise, and most of the comments I saw (that I recall) are people excited to read more. If you don't want to continue the story because you have run out of ideas or motivation or something, that's fine. Nothing we, the readers, can do. If you want to stop because you think this story was a mistake, you are dead wrong.

1862049
I think your being too harsh on yourself there. :pinkiesad2:

Don't give up on the story quite yet. You have a nice setup and plenty of people that like it.

1862049
I kinda have to disagree. The approach you took with your editors about the second chapter was a mistake, yes, but that's just a matter of patience.

Considering that I've only seen one chapter plus a few paragraphs, I can't really say that I'm Not a Mare was going to be good. There just isn't enough there to be able to tell. What I can say is that what was there was enjoyable. I can say that there is always room to get better, and I think you had a good step made towards doing just that.

I guess I'm just trying to say don't give up. Take the lesson and grow from it.
