Greetings, again. · 6:44am Dec 13th, 2014
So, I have noticed while doing some writing recently, and by writing I mean stabbing my phone until my thumbs don't work anymore, that I don't have near the amount of input on how things play. My last chapter was done entirely in jail and only had some grammatical and spelling fixes, but had no outside perspective of events. It just made me realize how many people had been helping me through my chapters, and exactly how much I valued their input while I wrote. Things would usually go through a few revisions while being written, and ideas thrown at me whenever I got hung up temporarily. Ironically, this thought came up a couple days ago when I hit a point in the next chapter that I stopped mid sentence and died. I had been going great for days, making tons of progress, and then nothing.
Of course, I can't expect the people who were helping me to be able to spend as much time as they did before. My friend and editor seems yo have pulled away from ponies, or at least the site. One just seems... Distant... Since my disappearance... I haven't gotten ahold of some of them, and a the rest are all busier than they used to be. Really, it is to be expected to treat someone differently after not hearing from them in forever and a half. And none of the excuses I have really make up a teeny tiny bit of my actions. I really could have tried harder to keep in contact with my closest friends I've made here, and with everyone in general. I suppose its my own fault for not having many friends before this, and being closed off in general.
If there is some point to all of this, its that you truly don't know how much something means or how much you take it for granted until its gone. And if you read this, I would like to sincerely apologize to Pia-Chan, TheCloudtop, FlimFlamBros, Elaruki/TheGlitch/LadySpider, TheMyth, necrorouge, Dragon Warlock, Vexy, thehalfelf, FanficsAreMagic, and a few others, for just ditching all of you. I really appreciated the companionship and support, the help and criticism, and being able to consider you my friends.
Really, I would like to apologize to each and every one of you, not only for leaving the story which introduced us, but for also leaving you. I guess I didn't really know how to act for feeling appreciation or real friendship, and I am sorry...
Anyways... Next chapter.... Its loaded. I can't think of anything better to describe it. I've reached approx 6k words, and I have barely scratched the surface of events for the chapter. A lot if what happens is going to take some time to show itself and elaborate, but with the conclusion of soon to come events, we can get into an adventure together... Maybe not having much outside input can keep me on track of how I want the story to flow. Though without that input, I don't know how it seems to flow from someone who isn't standing in the middle of the river....
Also, comments are really appreciated. I may not always respond, especially with my being stuck with only a phone to access ponies, but I read through every comment, and have even read comments left while I was absent.
I don't know if I helped, I linked this blog to TheMyth. I talk to him on Skype sometimes.
*Insert appropriate words of support*
shut up, I'm bad at this.
