    Thoughts on Returning and Moving Forward

    I'm sure there's more than a few people who lament, maybe even curse, that I pretty much stopped regular writing and updates of my flagship project. I wouldn't really blame anybody for those kind of sentiments - anger, abandonment, resentment, disappointment, and so on. I know there's also plenty of people who will quickly counter with the claim that nobody owes readers completed stories and one

    Plans for 2020

    They say the difference between an amateur writer and a professional writer is that amateurs wait for inspiration, professionals sit down and get it done. That alone is why I've always considered an amateur and nothing more. Losing motivation to write has plagued me before, and its why New Sun Rises is taking so damn long to finish.

    An Update

    With any luck, I think I can have the latest chapter ready within the next week.

    Just figured I'd let people know in advance so it's not too sudden of a surprise to realize that I still exist.

    And no, I don't have any real excuse for why it's taken me this long to get back to working on this. If there was a box for bad authors to sit in, I would be there right now.

    Long Overdue

    Hey there people who might actually still care about this one author.

    Guess it's been a real long time since you guys have heard a peep outta me, and it's probably high time I say something. Now don't worry, this isn't the much dreaded 'after careful deliberation, I've decided to retire from writing' sort of post. Things haven't gotten that bad. Yet.

Not Dead Yet · 1:12pm May 13th, 2014

After a long and grueling search, I think I've managed to find my muse again.

Hopefully, I can get a new chapter soon.

Key word is 'hopefully'.

Also, went to Comic-Con, now have a plushy Derpy and Octavia figurine. Smug 'Tavi will keep me in line.

I find that the easiest way to keep a hold of your muse is to tie her to a chair, though it is important that you do so with ductape and feed her nothing but brownies, otherwise she'll find a way to get loose. :twilightsheepish:

I don't know why you struggle so much. You're a fantastic author, and wrote my favorite Apple/Dash fan fic of all time, and I wasn't even that big into Apple/Dash to begin with!

You might want to sit down with LoyalLiar, since him and I recently talked about this. Creative writing, more so stories you want to write not only for yourself but for your others, needs to be sat down on and not mused, but deeply thought of. Even in times where you don't feel like writing anything. Trust me, I struggle with that part too.

You could almost say that writing is a job I love and hate at the same time when the muse isn't there, because those walls make the challenges all the most interesting and I grow from it. Someone as exceptional as you when it comes to shippin shouldn't have to wait for that muse. I think you can create that spark whenever you want. It's inside of you. Insert optimistic jingle here.

Infinite loves from a fan who loves your work.

Welcome back! :ajsmug:

Well damn. I'm glad you found your inspiration again. But now this means I actually have to catch up to what you've written so I can be ready for what comes next. Only managed to finish the Ponyville 40k one so far. I've got a lot of reading ahead of me.

Soon...sooon....I shall catch up the three chapters behind I am :(
