Sick taking day off · 2:34am Nov 9th, 2017
At 1100 words in total, this chapter's being slow with me. But its coming out whenever.
What doesn't help is that I've been sick for the last few days- probably ate something that really didn't agree with me- unluckily that seems to be the only way I actually get sick these days which is either a blessing or a curse.
But yeah story's not dead. Been using the off day to get a general plot in my head for this chapter and the next. Cause in a way this "arc" of the two settling into their new respective bodies is pretty much over- male Pinkie is not done yet neither is the Scootaloo plot thread so that plot thread isn't starting but at some point I need to get Wonderbolt celebrity life hit on and after what seems to be this whole little party I cooked up on a whim it brings me to use Luna at some point- since its a night club, and well I think I have a idea for Fluttershy to meet some Wonderbolts. Just have to get past this chapter.
But I liked one of the last chapters when I wrote pretty much "do Wonderbolts have bad days?" and yes from what I have been planning with Rainbow and the Wonderbolts in general, yes they do. But that's probably 10k to 12k away from even coming close to starting.
Also, no I'm not sick cause I've just been focusing on writing for around a month. Also its not my fault, its been bad weather where I am and its only going to get worse thanks to winter coming soon. That or its going to be a weirdly warm winter but either way winter is going to make me want to focus more cause how exciting is snow really? It probably is just that I don't react well to drier air and winter is full of that. dry, cold air that wrecks me.
Not a very good time.
Think I might add a Slice of Life tag- for some reason I feel like doing a day in the life story is a good way to show Slice of Life stuff and I didn't want to put that tag and kill the story cause I got tired of it and since the overall reception is ridiculously positive- that makes me want to write a lot.
Just being sick has been making it difficult leading to the slowdown of actual word count work. But first scene? It's been finished since yesterday so that's always good.
First scenes always have this self conscious feel to them cause once I get past them it gets easier again. But I have a long fun little thing to use Applejack here and if I can use my normal cadence of voice with natural rhythms and all that? That's nice. Cause sadly enough, the southern/ midwestern rhythm of her voice is probably the closest to my own.
Back to actual writing tomorrow. But I do have the title for the next chapter planned as well so that takes out an hour of searching for the right one.
You are managing to write way more than me. Being slow at 1100 words already is far better than I'm managing with my stories at the moment. Thats good going

I mean that does put it in perspective but I like the story enough to force myself to take time out of my day to write something it better than writing nothing because then I worry about not picking it up again and I don't want to do that

True. I sadly have Crashing Angels and Fall of the Rising as reminders of that for me...
