    Only Took Three Months...

    Well, chapter 3 is done. Yeah, simple as that. Go read it, or something.

    Progress!

    Hello, and to all who may have forgotten me, I'm... never mind, you can just read it somewhere if you care at all. Anyways, if you're reading this, some time long ago you favorited a story called Fallout Equestria: Paragon. Well, I got bored of trying to write 50,000 words in one month, so I took a little break and got some progress cranked out on Paragon. Unfortunately, it was just the rewrite

    It's here!

    Well, a lot has been happening lately, if you haven't noticed. Season 3 is here! I've been waiting for that one all summer. But, the real reason I'm here right now is because my Paragon just passed 500 views. Yay!

    ...News

    Ok, I have good/bad news, whichever way you want to take it. Some of you may have heard of this thing called Nanowrimo, and national novel writing month. Well, it looks like fun, and it seems like a good enough excuse to get this idea I've had out of my head and down on paper... well, except in computer form... and not on paper, but I think you get my point.

    A bit of nostalgia...

    A while ago (about 36 weeks ago, in fact), I had this idea for a story. I was directed here (fimfiction) by a good friend to try to start it out, and so I did. Then I tried to write it. Seems like an unimpressive story for how a story started, right? But then, A Chaotic Land was a pretty unimpressive story too. Well, I tried to write the story, but I was inexperienced, and I honestly had no idea

I have a problem... · 4:16pm Jun 7th, 2012

If anyone hasn't noticed, I haven't updated my story in a while. I have had very slow progress on my new chapter too. Now, you may be thinking that I am slacking off. You are mostly right. But, allow me to explain.

I have this problem where I get a song stuck in my head for sometimes an entire day. Then, ideas form around the song. Then, I create a story in my head inspired by that song. Then, I write the first chapter of this story. Then, I either get stuck somewhere, I don't like how the story is going, or I find that someone else has already made a story on the exact same topic.

This is a problem. I always end up spending about a week creating a story, then abandoning it. Curse you amazing pony songs! However, that is how Fallout Equestria: Paragon started. I couldn't get the song September, by thelivingtombstone, out of my head. So I worked with it. But, this is still distracting me from writing my main story, so I don't like it.

Well, that is all. Have a Pinkie Pie eating the forth wall.

Well, if youget a song stuck in your head, you could try listening to it over and over until the song begins to annoy you. Thats what I do at least.

Yeah, but then I just have an annoying song stuck in my head all day, and I am a terrible writer when I am in a bad mood. I once had to delete 1000 words from a chapter because the tone they contained was way off of what I was going for.

Well, thanks for the suggestion anyway. :twilightsheepish:

Well I guess you could do things the boring way by getting a different song stuck in your head....

But really, who doesn't want a really annoying song stuck in your head, playing over and over and over and over again :pinkiecrazy:

WAIT! Idea! :raritywink:

I can just get the song that inspired me to write the story stuck in my head again so that the inspiration will keep on pumping in. Perfect!

162185 And that's how Equestria was made. The End. :pinkiehappy:

162168 The real question is, why would you want to play a song that is that awesome over and over until it annoys you? That just takes away some of the awesome of the world, and you know, the world could always use more awesome.

Also, a challenger approaches! (Check your messages)

Now, to prepare for battle! *yawn*
