Love you guys · 12:32am Oct 19th, 2012
Seriously. All of you who actually enjoy reading the crap I manage to eke out of my weird little brain. Anyone who actually reads these blogs. Love you guys.
No, dammit, I'm not drunk, and I'm not suicidal. Just a bit depressed and suffering writers block. Reading other peoples stories and feeling inadequate. Looking back at my story and finding crap I seriously messed up, things I could have done but didn't. Blegh.....

I know that feeling. Writing is hard to do, but it's so cathartic when you look at a couple of freshly cranked out pages! That's what makes writer's block such a cruel thing, you know you'll feel great once you get going but for some reason your brain initialy seems to think of it as work!! Errrg...
Anyway, all the luck in the world to you! You've been very supportive over the course of my little soiree into the fandom, I figure I might as well return the favor!
And if you'd like a little advice from one author to another on getting into 'Teh Zowne', I suggest that you clear your schedule (if possible), watch your favorite eps again, and write with ear-plugs in. Seriously, ear-plugs help me SO much when I'm tapping away, it's like a sort of sensory deprivation chamber that lets you meditate on your work. I dunno, it could help with some of the bitty details you keep finding in your work (Been there! I'm STILL finding mistakes in TL&T and MoDM, so it's not just you that feels that way.)
If I can help in any other way, you let me know!
Hey man, buck up. I feel your pain, I am in the same boat and you've been super helpful to me so back at ya!
Your writing is really top notch. I love your dialogue especially. I think you're easily one of the best writers on the site! Believe in yourself! And by the way, I sure do hear you on writer's block-- I'm not really sure how to end Pinkie and Spy! =(
I don't know about you but this always helps me when i'm in one of those ruts.
