    Almost done, yay! (or maybe not)

    Hi guys and gals.
    The good news is that I finally finished the final chapter of After Destiny.
    The bad news is that I absolutely hate its last scene. It gives no closure and pacing is weird.

    Subtle differences

    Human fiction: "Curses, I didn't expect a thunderstorm right now."
    Pony fiction: "Curses, I forgot there was a thunderstorm scheduled right now."

    Human fiction: "It's a 6 hour drive, or a 1 hour flight."
    Pony fiction: "It's a 6 hour flight, or we can take Twilight-Train."

    Human fiction: "The mailman lost my mail."
    Pony fiction: "The dragon burnt my mail."

    We're both settled in our new home. We have parties scheduled and everything (praise Pinkie Pie!).
    I'm back in business, folks! My new deadline for WitAD is Nightmare Night. Rawr!

    [no title]

    Ending WRR turned out to be a great decision. I'm now leaving my comments in the stories themselves, where I can actually interact with the authors and they become much more useful. It also helps me think about how I'm writing as well, and how I can invite comments to my own stories (well, the two of them), something I sorely miss. I'm inclined to believe my WRR is gone for good.

    I have over-estimated myself

    Progress has been excruciatingly slow but fiercely steady. I'm getting like a dozen or two words in every day. I'm finding the time to write, even if it's not very much, and when I do, it's hard to concentrate and get momentum. I could call it writer's block, it probably qualifies many people's definition. I could actually cop out, polish my first three scenes and call it chapter 2 of 3. But I

Reading and writing and uh… life… · 4:21am Oct 10th, 2012

I've been getting a really fast pace reading now. I usually finish at least one story every day, but that includes ongoing stories for which new chapters are published. I have been reading a lot, real huge lot. I really miss the "words read" score at that, I've probably passed 3M by now. I really want to write too. I've been planning new stories, but I can't get them to a point I'm confident I can start publishing anything just yet. I really want to get to that point, though.

Also I got my wife interested in fanfictions too. Not pony, which is a little ironic since it was she ("her"?) who introduced me to the show. It was… uh… Fairy Tale, now Sakura, I've seen her getting to other categories too in FanFiction.net but I haven't seen it. I don't like FF.net. It's ugly. Yes, being ugly is a valid reason to not like a website. Go away. :applecry:

I got a new job. Well, not quite yet. It's a government job so there's a ridiculous wait before I can even begin to file paperwork to get effectively hired. Because that could take years (but most likely just a few more weeks), I cannot quit my current job, which is kind of fun, but in a dead-end-no-growth-perspective kind of way. Which would be fine if it didn't matter to me, but it does. Also, my immigration application to Canada got approved. It took almost a year, but yet it came too soon because my wife is too far from getting her degree yet. And that government job I mentioned. It means Brazilian government. Which makes a bit of a conflict here, doesn't it? I don't want to drop that, though, I miss Canada badly, and the few but good friends I made there. I loved living there. However, I'm not likely to get a sweet gov't job there. Admittedly, it's sort of a nice dilemma to have, but it's still a really difficult dilemma with really deep and all-encompassing consequences. Plus, it takes insane amounts of both time and money to put any eventual decision in effect. So, yeah, I'm really torn.

At least ponies make me happy. :eeyup:

How's the Big Bang prequel coming along

414018 I'll probably start on that after I move to wherever I end up. I'll need to be alone for this. It's not gonna be happy. It's not gonna paint the Mane 6 in a good light either. I actually got it all planned out, but I need a specific state of mind it's hard to get to with my current life routine. Plus, there's an important detail about Twilight that I can't make up my mind on.
