    Some chapters are now revised

    I didn't want to delete the old chapters outright, so I had unpublished them and edited them to leave the comments as they were. I don't think fimfiction registers the republished chapters as new updates, however, so I figured I'd update whoever is following the story here.

    Thank you for your patience.

    Editing Chapters

    I'm going to be editing old chapters of A Lonely Star, and most likely unpublishing the later chapters, since I don't like the direction I was originally heading in. It may be a while before new chapters crop back up, as I'll make sure that I draft them more thoroughly on FIM fiction rather than leaving them to be edited and stored on another platform prone to the random whims of the rest of my

    No promises.

    As I look upon all of the wonderful stories I have been reading in the past few days, I feel inspiration to try my hoof at it. I want to make a worthwhile story, and feel the drive to, but the urge disappears as soon as I have a particular thought. It's not about college, or the fact that I've been on a laptop for a few weeks now... it's a thought that anypony can get when they try to act

As I look upon all of the wonderful stories I have been reading in the past few days, I feel inspiration to try my hoof at it. I want to make a worthwhile story, and feel the drive to, but the urge disappears as soon as I have a particular thought. It's not about college, or the fact that I've been on a laptop for a few weeks now... it's a thought that anypony can get when they try to act upon the impulse...
Do I have a tale to tell?
Without an idea, there is no story.
I do have a tale to tell... however, when I had originally written it, I sped through it. The characters didn't act the way they were supposed to, events happened too quickly, and things happened that made no sense. There was only one chapter for a story that deserved better pacing and a major change in how the plot played out, but the basics were the same. Though the story has probably been done before, it dealt with a certain "hero" that we're all familiar with; a mare by the name of "Mare Do Well."
When I had been furiously typing down the story in a notepad document, my senses were lost in the heat of the moment. How dare they do that to Rainbow Dash. In a flash, the story I had written kicked Rainbow's innate loyalty out the window. Applejack was hostile. Rarity hadn't had much of a part. There was a horribly unsatisfying resolution that I had rushed through to write.
I forget if I had even gone back to edit any of it.
While I would strive not to make the same mistakes in rewriting it completely, the passionate negativity I had on the episode has been lost for almost two years, and I fear that- after the first chapter- I won't continue, and it will end up with my many other scrapped projects. I would be lucky to even finish typing the first chapter

If there's one thing to be sure of here, it's never to trust that I will finish creating an artwork or literary piece. Half of the things that I write or begin drawing never get finished, or impatience gets the better of me and I rush through it, making it a horrible pile of horseapples and ponyfeathers.

I have no promises that anything I do finish will be good.

You have been warned.
