Nunc centuscholas habeo! · 11:11pm Mar 9th, 2015

Now I have one hundred followers! Just happened to be doing my Latin before I remembered that I should probably do this sometime soon.

Alright, I've rewritten this repeatedly. Started about 10 30 minutes ago I started at 6:00 PM of March 9th, and no idea what do do. I guess that's why I'm not a writer?

Hm... Idea? Maybe I can just shove everything that I've thrown away so far that I've tried to write.

...

Just spent 20 minutes looking for a suitable story. There are none. I can't help but feel like if I was to write, I would be constantly worried about my writing being full of rambling clauses.

Twilight felt the first tinges of consciousness brush her mind. Surrounded by warmth and drowsy senses, Twilight’s psyche began to slowly process its existence. Even after Twilight became fully aware, she remained as still as she could. Sleep was always something that Twilight enjoyed as much as she could, and she regretted the fact that she would have to relinquish it in a few short moments. She had endured enough years of late-night studying for schoolwork to understand that every hour of sleep was a blessing.

As Twilight opened an eye to the sunlight illuminating the lazy specks of dust floating in the air, a happy smile met her lips. The thought of a new day, full of exciting events was motivation enough for her to jump out of bed and trot to the window. Pushing it open, she bathed her face in Celestia’s sunlight. After a moment, Twilight made her way to her bathroom.


Under suggestions from the fabulous writer, Aragon, I'm going to write about my time editing.

Although slightly unfair because of him being... him, A Train, on Fire, Full of Orphans by Aragon holds the title for weirdest story that I've ever had the pleasure of editing. If anyone had ever told me that I would be editing that, I probably would have asked the Spaniard writing it if he was crazy. Now, I don't have to ask, because I know the answer to that question. Even mentioning it in my not-Fimfiction life brings weird results. When one of my classmates saw it on my tablet when I was midway through rechecking it for errors, she gave me a look that suggested that she was disappointed. Wait, scratch that. She didn't suggest it, she was just reminding me. Said classmate? I blame her. She was the one who made me a brony, I tell you.

Thankfully I have people on this site who keep me sane. Kinda. In Rainbow Dash: Re-Animator by JawJoe, I think that, although it's designed to be "realistic" and fit into canon slightly, I can't wrap my head around JawJoe's character. He has always been one who was able to capture the spiraling demeanor of a cracked ming, in my opinion. Honestly, his works are probably the weirdest that I've edited. Sure, other writers have works that are are crazy, but they don't come from near the same vein as a story that fully fleshes out its universe before hitting "start" and watching all the events roll. Especially with stories like Queen of Queens by Jawjoe, there is just an absurd amount of world building that other writers may struggle with. Obviously this may not be true—I just might not have edited their attempts—but I feel like JawJoe is very thorough in his work.

Congrats on hitting that 1 double zero. Knew you could do it :pinkiehappy:

Yet.

You're still my main editor. That's the weirdest thing you've edited yet.

Even mentioning it in my not-Fimfiction life brings weird results. When one of my classmates saw it on my tablet when I was midway through rechecking it for errors, she gave me a look that suggested that she was disappointed. Wait, scratch that. She didn't suggest it, she was just reminding me.

Yeah, any mention of my name tends to summon disappointment. It's one of the constant rules of the Universe.

Also, don't worry about the length of the blog posts. Verbal diarrhea is not something nice, once you get at it, and it's not about the size, it's about how you use it.

ALSO WHAT THE FUCK I WASN'T FOLLOWING YOU YET HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE
