    Reflecting on Rewriting and Revisiting

    I am not the same as I was when I wrote all those stories a decade (what?!) ago.

    Thanks, Captain Obvious.

    But it presents an interesting challenge I had never thought about back then. How do you try to tell the same story to bring it up to (hopefully) better, later standards?

    Unimagination

    Hey, all. I guess I'm in a reflective mood, and I thought where I'm at might be something relatable for a lot of us.

    A Humble Proposal

    Hey, everybody! I missed this community. I've kind of felt like an outsider, since I haven't watched the show since the end of Season 4, but I thought I'd check in on my old stomping grounds. Some familiar faces still say hi from time to time, after all.

    what if tow was not kill

    what if tow used a meme joke to break his long silence?

    So, yeah, sorry about that. It's my last semester (hopefully) of college, so I've been pretty busy. To be honest, I've also been really lazy with my free time and spent more time on Youtube than on here or on Skype. Sorry that I've been a butt. :twilightblush:

    A Break to Discuss Visual Novels

    Yes, this is mostly an excuse to discuss a visual novel I recently played, but partly to dissect it as research. See, I've wanted to make my own visual novel for a while (probably for free or under $5, because it'd be more for fun than for a profit motive). I really like reading/playing visual novels, and I like experimenting with my writing, so writing my own visual novel seems like a natural

Final Thoughts on the Year · 4:57am Jan 1st, 2016

So, the ball will drop shortly in Times Square (not where I am, but in the same time zone). Couples will kiss, confetti will happen, people will drink themselves into a stupor...

And me? I'll be here, where I always am, curled up in bed and hunched over my laptop. I think it's a fitting way to end the year, seeing as that's how I spent a large part of it.

I guess the year hasn't been a bad one. I averaged almost 6,000 words per month (it should have been more, but December was a slow month), which is decent, I suppose. It's probably pretty good for how much I had going on between work, college, and general life stuff. But nothing all that big happened.

No, what I'm likely to remember is that 2015 was another year of the grind, dealing with a job I dislike and college burnout for the sake of getting a job that will allow me to support myself. That's kind of a bummer, 'cause there wasn't much negative, either. It just... was.

So goodbye, 2015. I'd say I'll miss you, but that would be lying. Instead, I look forward to what's likely to happen in 2016: making a decent amount of pay for once, leaving college, moving out on my own, etc.

And maybe, just maybe, I'll finally break into published writing or any of a number of goals I've wished for and things I didn't even know I wanted. Time will tell.

Happy 2016, everyone.

Okay. I'll talk about things that aren't ponies, writing, or the hopefully relatable part of my personal life.

Also, you aren't late. It's still 2016! If you wished me a happy new year on this blog when it was 2017, then you'd be late. :raritywink:
