A few things. · 3:21pm Oct 19th, 2015
So I'm writing the next chapter of Plagued by doubt, its going steadily. This chapter is the trickiest one so far and most likely going to be the most interesting (so far).
I was having trouble focusing on writing, I knew what to write (loosely), but I lacked the focus to do so. Not even the motivation, im surely motivated enough, but focus was the issue. Every time I tried to write I would quickly find myself playing terraria or GTA. With the combination of that and my vague writers block (I say vague because I kinda know what I'm supposed to write but not really (Hard to describe)) My productivity really went south. But I think I finally fixed that problem.
I bought some supplements that are supposed to help with focus. Brahmi, Ginkgo, b-vitamins. Ive also been catching up on sleep and getting the solid 9 hours my body requires to be in anyway productive, and its been working. Writing isn't easy, particularly if you're writing a story that only has a loose plan and you're pretty much building it as you go. (Dont worry I sorta know what I'm doing.) But writing is a whole lot easier when you give your body and mind what they wants.
For example if I binge on chips and soft drink my imagination goes right down the drain and I get absolutely no work done. The sugar rots your brain, man!
*Puts on tinfoil hat*
I'm no hippy but I do think relaxation and at least a semi-healthy lifestyle can really help with things like writers block and issues with focus. Not that what I had was writers block. Well kinda. UGHH. I don't even know what I was going through.
TL;DR
If your having trouble with focus or writers block, just relax. Drink some nice coffee, go for a walk, take some damned ginseng. It might help. Maybe not, but hey everyone's different.

So the CMC got their cutie marks... And its the worst thing since aspic. Not even considering it canon, just like Equestria girls or 'Slice of Life'.
Go ahead, call me salty, call be buttmad. I know already, I know I'm obviously butthurt but I'll be butthurt if I want to be, I'm only a human after all.
Seriously, anything other than this would be okay. The only way to screw it up was to give them the same cutie mark. The only way!
Gahh!
See, I told you I was salty.
