I know, Rarity. I feel the same way too. Let's talk about what we've been up to.
So, first thing is first, ER 250 is on a bit of a snag. Half is writer's block (its contagious, got it from Autumnschild, don't let him or me sneeze on you), and the other half is figuring out how the semester is going. This semester is rumored to be the hardest there is in the nursing program, and I'm beginning to see why. A lot of it is learning the background information on something, then applying those principles in a situation. It's like me giving you a five minute spiel on how transmissions work, and then expecting you to correctly fixing the transmission of a '73 Chevy Blazer. Right now everything looks like its going to be okay, and I'm going to continue my operations as they can fit. I'm attempting to leave the weekends as open as possible to writing and relaxing since my clinicals are now from 6 to 6 on Saturday. But I have no school on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Great study times.
I've been editing like a mad man. What have I gotten done recently.
The 37th Librarian for Autumnschild (Got to do PTS 25's Chapters 3 and 4, keep forgetting).
Shoots and Roots for Bachiavellian. A interesting one-shot involving Derpy, and Carrot Top as they struggle with life, but find strength together. Uses a very interesting, and personally I think complex, series of tense shift changes.
Not So Pink-ie Pie for 8542Madness. It's a competition entry that involves a Pinkie Pie waking up and no longer being pink. I thought it was cute, and he did a great job with Pinkie.
Other works have been a story for Deep and for SenatorDigitDaemon, though they haven't been published yet, and I need to be looking at a story for joeSFX. And a project for Editors-R-Us.
Hmm... I know Autumnschild flashed his hand a bit in his blog post. I might too. I can't decide, there is a lot that is planned to happen, but hasn't been written any further than a outline and some notes. Autumn hinted to one that involved airships, this was a story idea I wanted to do since about the time I joined FiMfiction, maybe a bit before. It's going to be a three book trilogy, and cover lands way outside of Equestria. It will have Twilight as a alicorn, but be pre-season 4, since that's when the idea developed. There are airships, but these aren't your silly blimps and flammable zeppelins. No, these are literal, flying ships. It'll be great. When I go on break, or get ER 250 done, I want to begin work on that and three other stories. Probably try to pound them out in the summer, and update them in the fall/winter. I'll see how things go when I get there.
Still working on the user page. I have a killer banner now, just need to get everything else done.
Been doing a little bit of drawing, playing some Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm, and dealing with forum drama on another site I moderate on. I'll probably rant about that on another blog, just not now. This blog is already long enough, and I hate reading long blogs.

Also, I'm gonna end up adding a few hundred more words to chapter 3 tomorrow. It needs some more set up.
Also also, glad to hear you have break time and relaxation scheduled in. Super important in my opinion. Sorry to hear about the forum drama, that always sucks.
It's situations like these where I'm glad college is out of my reach at the moment.
Glad to see you're working hard and not hardly working.
