I'm Going To Level With Everyone For A Second · 9:59pm Jan 29th, 2015
So, as many of my watches know by now is that I normally seem to be inactive for long periods of time and occasionally make an excuse of either school or other stuff going on in my life that prevents me from writing or a false promise about releasing a bunch of chapters before a deadline.
This is shown to be true 50% of the time.
What's the other 50% that prevents me from writing?
Lack of ambition.
I'm not kidding here.
Truthfully, I really do want to write about Christian and what he's going through on Equestria. I love the support I get on the WWC stories and the smaller stories in between. You know, the ones that don't suck because I had no idea what I was doing two years ago. And I admit, I've had some hiccups along the way with the presentation of my stories. Christian's Cutie Mark being horrible and Invasion of Area 51 AND Chrysalis's Revenge doing somewhat well.
Well, when I get to write about it.
I've been so preoccupied lately by stupid things like video games and watching YouTube that when I want to write, I literally jot down a paragraph or two and then go right back to whatever else I was doing.
If my job was writing, I would be fired by now.
I seem to have forgotten what I loved about sitting down at my laptop for hours and just typing page after page of dialogue. I started getting bored. Even with college starting this summer and high school getting in the way, I still found time to write. But I used it for video games and TV.
Honestly, I was about to turn on my PS4 and play some more Destiny today after I checked my notifications on emails and whatnot.
But then this happened: http://www.lightningstrikeproduction.squarespace.com/
Then I remembered, their are people who look forward to reading the stories I write. They want to know what's going to happen in the future, how it will affect the characters; supporting my stories with a like or a favorite.
People like Lightning, UniqueSKD, BronyOfTheMist, all of my watchers; YOU guys want to know what happens. YOU want to read a new chapter every week.
So, a few weeks ago, I decided that I needed to boost my ambition in such a way that I would want to start writing every single day.
So I sent WWC to my Language Arts teacher for her to read over and give me her thoughts. So far, she's only read the first chapter. I think. She did say she liked the character names. That's a plus, right? She hasn't said anything else, so I wonder from time to time if she actually did read the rest of it and either thinks the topic is weird and she doesn't get it or if it's bad. I'm assuming the first one because WWC is doing pretty well and has been ever since I posted it.
But I need some other way to jump back into writing. I'm not leaving this site, if that's what you're wondering. Heck no. This place is like a calm escape from the hectic life I currently live. I will be posting chapters (Hopefully. Third time's the charm, right?) It's just as of now I have no idea when I will be posting. I need to find my ambition to write again. Then I can start saying "I'll post two chapters every week."
By the way, i'm not depressed. If any of you were thinking that. I'm just feeling like I've lost a core value about me. So yea, but i will try my hardest to finish the rest of the next chapter of WWC: Chrysalis's Revenge by the end of this week.
Funny thing is, when I first started writing a few years ago, I thought that around this time I would be on the last story of the first series of When Worlds Collide. Life just doesn't always work out the way you plan it, huh?
