NaNoWriMo week 1 wrap-up: Dank Memes, Dragonauts, and Dark Rarity · 4:42am Nov 9th, 2017
Evening, folks! I'm now a week into working on To Serve In Hell as part of NaNoWriMo. I'm a bit behind on target wordcount by date, but I feel good about what's been written thus far. Good enough in fact to bust out this old clunker:
Something something great again
Make no mistake friends: IT IS HAPPENING. I feel like this is the push I've been trying to line up all year. I've started with Rarity's arc of To Serve In Hell and thus far I'm driving it full throttle down the moonlit highway to Tartarus, running roughshod over my own extended metaphors along the way. And what manner of speed-demon-ry would be complete without representation of the heavier metals? Here's track 1 of the album that I keep coming back to when I sit down for writing time:
Don't be put off by the 10 or so seconds of talking about the song that the lead guitarist does at the beginning of this version; the album version has a longer atmospheric opener with sounds of thunder that this version doesn't make you sit through
I've spent most of 2017 feeling frustrated about my own lack of progress on To Serve In Hell, and I imagine that readers might feel something similar. Ultimately I still don't have a lot to show at this point. But what I do have is excitement! The story has always been exciting to me, but now that excitement is translating more quickly and fully into progress. Granted, it's still early in the month, and it'll take time to edit and finish things up regardless. But I'm feeling good, and slinging horsewords, and...
...oh yeah, I gotta get back to that. 
Yes, I can dig it.

As can I.
I actually finish a story and you're back on To Serve in Hell. To Serve in Hell... *cracks open a cold one*
Well then I wanna be right here.

Agreed, apocalyptic rockabilly seems appropriate for such an occasion!
On a different note. It looks like Looking For Trouble made it to Equestria Daily. Congratulations!
