This a personal review of my story, as well as describing how I came to write the story.
First, I would like to say that I wrote this in under an hour, but that wasn't my goal. I was looking at my story Once in a Lifetime, and I was once again wondering if I wanted to continue it. Then, a thought of writing a story about a human's adventure after visiting Equestria entered my mind. I wrote this part to be the first chapter, and then to continue it after the human returned to his original world. That is perhaps why not too much of his adventures were told of, because he was going to talk to family and stuff after his many years disappearance. But it ended up stopping there (As I did with Once in a Lifetime) because it would blur the story I had already written.
Next, the idea of having the main character speak to all six entered my mind as well, but I'm not very good with multiple characters speaking in one scene. I can never get the voices right, and it usually sounds dull. So I decided to leave it open ended in a way, as well as letting the reader take what they want from the ending. I will say that I never enjoyed long paragraphs of description, and I don't regret making small snippets of description.
Finally, I really enjoy the positive feedback this, and every other human story I had written, has gotten. It makes me sad that I work hard on continuing stories like Carry the Fire, only to later think it would have been better as a one shot. (That first chapter was so much better than the rest of the story) I enjoyed Sight, both writing and re-reading it. I didn't put up a skeleton for what would happen in Sight, I just went with the flow, and I think that was for the best.
Thanks for Reading!
