I love reading fan fiction, If only I can write as much as I read.

    A New Year and a round of attempts at writing.

    My New Year's Resolution is to do some actual writing; Assuming other stuff don't get in the way. I got three doctors appointments in January alone! Yeesh!

    Paperback Writer

    I have more story ideas then I can write. I envy those who have the discipline to produce chapters of their stories on a regular basis.

    After The Band I have a few ideas for stories.

    A Band of Warriors

    I am now working on two stories, "The Band", and "The Warriors In Equestria"; Can you dig it?

    "The Band" is constantly on my mind. I am stuck on the next chapter. I can visualize the scenes; But, it's getting the words up on the screen that is proving to be very challenging.

    The Band will continue its tour, eventually.

    I have six future chapters written, in varies states; None of them anywhere near ready to be published. (Real Life and Writer's Block making writing a bit hard)

    "The Great Game" is the next chapter; featuring Gilda and her fellow Griffins.
    "Capital Crimes" takes the band to Canterlot. due to the fallout from the previous chapter.

    Walls of Text and Writer's Block

    Sorry for the delay with the next chapter of The Band; Real Life, and other stuff.

    In the mean time, attempting to edit the current chapters. My paragraphs are chaotic, since I really don't know the basic rules. At least my work is not Walls of Text! Yet. "Discord, go away!"

LIner Notes to The Band's Magical Music Mystry Tour album. · 6:59pm Oct 24th, 2014

Just an experiment; to get my creative juices flowing again
If someone suggests a better album title. I might take it, with credit given.

The Band:
Sweetie Belle= Lead Vocals
Wild Rover=Lead Guitar, Banjo, Fiddle/Violin, Vocals
Lyra Heartstrings= Lyre/Harp, Guitar
Octavia Melody=Cello/Double Bass, Fiddle/Violin
Vinyl Scratch= Keyboards. Sound Engineer

Double names to certain instruments are added for artistic reasons.
"Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.”

The Great And Powerful Trixie Lulamoon= Magician, Adviser, Tour Guide

Guest Artists:
Will be reveled later, in the story.

Songs:
I am going to have way more then ten to choose from by the end of the story!
In the second to last chapter "The Last Waltz" I will make a poll for the most popular songs used in the story To help me narrow down my choices.
In the last chapter "Epilogue" The list of songs on the "album" will be revealed.
Possible Rules:
Pick three(3) songs used in the story.
List in order of preference. First gets 3 points, Second gets two points Third place gets one point. Honorable mention(s) (max. of two) get half a point.
Songs with the most points will likely be on the album; Unless story and pony plots force different choices.

I may do this sooner, because I am having a hard time picking which song propels them into stardom, and shines a spotlight on the practice of payola.

Those who can draw and/or paint may create an album cover if they wish.

Thank you for reading.
