I really might be worst pony · 2:13am Jun 29th, 2016
So this is a lot of me letting out my little blurbs if self... suck...iness? Also I have big news! also other news... and... Okay I have much news.
First I am a terrible writer... I'm not saying I'm bad at writing an enjoyable story, I'm just saying I'm bad at finishing what I started... in that regard I have good news. I am finally going to update my long ignored tale of the little half changeling that got to be raised by a god. "To be her Mother" will soon come to a close with this final story... but that gives me room for its sequel that will chronicle the tales of Crystal as an adventurous blank flank trying to find her place in the world with two friends.
Okay I know I always say it will be done soon, but this time I say it is done now. Well the writing is done, I still need to edit, but know at the very least it is done. I was aiming to post it around Nightmare Night a couple years ago, but we all know how that worked out for us. Instead you get it now as the resurrection and completion of a thing... okay more news.
News of the best kind! I can sew... Alright that isn't too great, but it did allow me to attach a patch I bought at EFNW2016 to my Chrysalis messenger bag. That patch is of course Chryssi's best ship partner, Fluffle Puff. It looks okay, but I woulld like an actual Chryssi patch to join Fluffle... maybe next year, which is looking very likely that I will attend in spades. Because best news is that my sister's husband/the father of my delightful youngest niece, is finally on the track of being discharged and their ETA is October of this year. This of course means that I will get to bring my delightful Lizzie to EFNW 2017. As long as things don't get pushed back again... more news...
I start work tonight. It's not what I want to be doing the rest of my life, but it is a paycheck and right now that's all I really need. because money means Everfree Northwest will be paid for instead of me just sneaking in. So ... I think that's all my news... Oh I almost got a quilted wall hanging finished for all the pony buttons I keep buying at EFNW. If my niece does get to come and my plans all work out I'll bring it and just have it with me and ready for the addition of more buttons. Is it odd that I am planning my vacation at the con already?
Oh well, here have a distraction!
Yay Luna is great!
I'll see you at the next chapter.
no you are not a terrible writer
4055117 I know, I was just making a comment on how I have a hard time finishing a thing that I started. Still, thanks for the vote of confidence. Also I like your picture under your name.

Oh yes! I waited for it SO LONG!
And no, you're not a terrible writer, you just have motivational problems which prevent you from squeezing 100% out of yourself.
4055744 And that was a much fancier way of putting it than I did. I think that the biggest demotivation was that as I wrote I was trying to make it not sound silly. Then I had the moments of clarity. I say to myself, "The me, you are writing the story about magical talking ponies, no matter what you do it will at least be a little silly."
Then one thing led to another and I wrote a halloween chapter... Yay.
4056350 Well, I think the main problem with this statement is - what if this isn't siliness we're talking abaut? Maybe some stuff is just adorable without siliness? Maybe it's without that silly component and you're just afraid it's silly while it's not?
I don't know how some people do it! Just yesterday someone who writes for this site tweeted he wrote 20k words in 24 hours—which is like god level—and the most I've written, is probably in this blog comment. I too keep posting about writing something, but I haven't touched it in months. I wanted to release this thing before Bronycon. I'm not sure if that's going to happen. I have plenty of ideas... I guess we both need a good zap of motivation.
4056480 That actually makes a lot of sense. I was mostly concerned about a filly's Nightmare Night costume and how silly it seemed to me but looking back now I see it more as endearing. Other costumes are silly, but that was intentional for comedy which is another reason silliness is okay.
4057037 Yeah.... I couldn't do that much writing. I have work and the need for sleep, but I really feel that now that I finally got this done I feel like I can actually focus on other things without worrying over this one.
4057789 ^^ Carry on.
4057789 Damn that work and sleep thing! If only I didn't need those, I could take over the world, but first I need a nap.
4058007 Oh I will, after I kick myself for deciding to change the ending I wrote... like a lot... don't worry it's done... I'll post it now.
4058722 Yay nap time!
4060774 Time to look into it later tonight.
