The motivation, and time to write. · 3:04pm Apr 10th, 2015
Alright so I'm going to try and be as serious as possible here. I don't like wasting time with blogs like I have but I'd like to type this to get some stuff of my chest.
Now, I just saw Silly Filly Studios Fall of the Crystal Empire, and I really liked that animation. But after that, I clicked on a video about Sombra and Luna to the song Awake and Alive and that's done something very, very nasty to me. Now this is where all the seriousness goes to die. I am pulling my hairs out of my head because I now want to write a series of stories I've had planned for ages, in addition to the Snowdrop story I am working on. Tears in the Snow. A Rainbow Dash story, and another Nyx one.
I am no good at writing multiple stories at the same time, I am terrible at it. I don't get how so many writers on here can do it, I'm not saying I rushed in expecting it to be easy, heck no. I know story writing takes time but the amount of time it takes me is staggering. My motivation needs to be high to write, and the higher it gets the more I need to write. But I need to pace myself. I have paced myself a year to do Tears in the Snow which should be finished, but it's three chapters shy of being complete, my Snowdrop story is two, one is being worked on, and I might end up adding two more which bothers me.
But I really shouldn't worry. I can only go with the flow and do what I can. Slow and steady wins the race after all.
Stories need to be nurtured and written at the leisure of the writer, not the demand of the reader.
Quoting myself here.
