Updates on The Sole Reason and Personal Writing · 12:29am Mar 2nd, 2018
It's been a while, hasn't it? I think that can be said basically anytime I make a blog post. I've never really been one to have creativity stay for a long time, and when it flares up I either end up writing a dozen chapters in a month or posting one chapter of a story before vanishing again. But for the past few days I've tried to stick to a bit of a routine after inspiration being fairly lacking for the past several months. I think I'm going to try for the time being to do one of two things each day.
1.) Edit a chapter of my novel, or at the very least look over it.
2.) Write 1000 words of any given story.
Today was the first day I wrote 1000 words, and for some reason it ended up being The Sole Reason. Y'know. That Spike porn that was a lot of personal venting about my kinks that I said was gonna have a chapter 5 in October but haven't updated sense. Yeah hi hello that got progressed today. I feel genuinely bad about having so many stories on this site unfinished, and that story is one that I do want to finish since I think it'll be the easiest. Also, I don't want to make promises but a big reason I wanted to finish it was because lately I've been having ideas to write a sequel story with Big Macintosh instead of Shining Armor. We all know how well sequels go from me so I won't get anybody's hopes up, but at the very least I want to try and force myself to finish the first story, what little story there is in a fetish fueled smut fic about tickling.
Anyway, I'm not dead. Surprise. I haven't found a job but at least if I keep writing and editing on the pace I've been at I'll feel like I'm not stuck and not have another massive breakdown like I had a week ago that led me to this position I'm in. I feel like that's basically what I do. Write a lot. Stop. Have breakdown after 3 months of feeling stuck writing. Breakdown gets out all bad feelings so I write again consistently.
So, hey, I'm alive. Greetings.
Any words from you are a blessing from Celestia.
Great to hear from you again! I'm glad that you're trying to get a routine going. My writing professor recommended that as a work goal but its hard to stick with, especially since I'm still being distracted big time with all the games I've gotten for my Switch and from work. Hopefully with the next few days off I can get back into such a routine. Hoping the best for you and your future creative endeavors!

It’s something I find easier than most to stick with just because of my situation. I’m lucky to live with Vclaw who doesn’t pressure me heavily to get a job cause he genuinally believes in my writing. Personally my routine lately is wake up play games for a bit till my mind wakes up then try to write. Lately I’ve been replaying Paper Mario TTYD :p
