Where am I? · 11:54am Oct 16th, 2015
Hey everyone, I know it's been a while since I left you last, so I'm here with a quick update.
Writing for all MLP related things is at a standstill. I've had a severe lack of confidence in myself ever since the last chapter of TaE. And with recent events, I was teetering on the point of giving up entirely.
After rest and the extended break, I wanted to write more, but I had no idea where to start, and severely shaken confidence in creating anything I could be remotely proud of. It's no huge secret that TaE was something I was immensely proud of and was putting a ton of time and effort into when I started it. And it's no secret that I've recently begun feeling disappointed in the direction I've taken it. Maybe I'm just letting comments get to me, maybe I have my sights set too high, either way, I can't look at everything I've done to date and say that I'm exactly happy with how it turned out.
But recently, in a skype call with some friends, I was given the idea to write a crossover of a new favorite series of mine, and a series I love to hate. And, I don't know how or why, but a spark struck me. A spark I haven't felt in a REALLY long time. I haven't been able to drop the idea, and the world and characters are quickly taking shape in my mind.
I'm gonna finish this new work first, try to gain my confidence again, and maybe see how far I've come along overall as a writer. I'm not entirely sure when I'll be back with a new chapter of anything pony, but this isn't a goodbye, it's just a "See ya soon."
I hope you find a Self-Confidence Booster Pack (SCBP) soon, best of luck.
If I've caused any trouble with mine I'm sincerely sorry.
Feedback is overrated man. They'll try to patronise and handle your story. Don't do it. Just don't.
