Blackbelt in a Colorful Land on haitus; reasons and other stuff. · 12:39pm Apr 19th, 2014
I’m going to stop putting this off and be honest with you guys.
My first story sucks.
Shocker, right?
The thing is, I don’t like having a story that spans the entire length of my writing career without being consistent; I don’t like adding to something that sucks with my writing that sucks less. Another problem, working the entire story for grammar and telling and the like is going to take quite a bit of time; not to mention, fixing all the character issues, plotholes, and anything else I might find will take even longer. I’m fairly certain that plenty of chapters would have to be rewritten from the ground up.
And then we come to the main problem: the story was never a good idea to begin with. It really wasn’t. It’s wish fulfillment. A cleverly disguised, wish fulfilling, human gets with my favorite pony at the end, story. At its core, it’s no better than a story about a red and black OC. And if you really look at the story, it’s not hard to see.
I reread the first couple chapters with mine vastly improved editor’s eye.
Appalling.
Quite interesting to see how far I’ve come.
Errors in punctuation, sentence construction, and other unforgivables were throughout. And worst of all, I used “alright.”
The one thing I didn’t plan for while writing this story was getting better. Kind of ironic, really.
I’m sorry to say that, as of right now, Black Belt in a Colorful Land is on hiatus. I need to figure out what I’m going to do with it. I really do.
Oh, and as for my other writings, Facility0013 is currently being written; though, to be honest, I was just lazy about working on it. Today I realized it’s been a while since I updated last.
Fluttershy’s One True Love (Is a Minigun) will be getting an update later today.
And other projects are other projects.
That is all. Have a good day and this relevant image.
Do what you think is best, buddy, all right?
Hey, look~! I didn't use 'alright'! Now get Skype, Wolfy!

Really? Again with the Skype? It's almost like you want me to get it or something.
demn i actually did like the story. punctuation problems and all. its awesome.
A funny story where Angel dies. It was fun to read, I'm sad it's on hiatus. Well, when you need a prereader, PM me
Well do what you want
I will still be here.
Oh, trust me, bro. My first story was a DISASTER. It turned out okay in the end, but it's not my favorite. But as I started writing sequels, I got better and better. Trust me, keep chipping at it, and you'll start to get better, one chapter at a time.
Too bad, there are few jerks in equestria fics out there. Well, ill be waiting for more of your work

That's the thing: I did get better. And now I can see that my first story is terrible.
