I Am The Night


Mares are cute. They are also fluffy. I want to pet the pretty mares and give them snuggles.

Update on stuff. · 7:29pm May 15th, 2018

A month ago, we didn't have enough money to pay for our cable and internet. So those were shut off. Today, we were able to get the internet back on, but we're not getting the cable back on because we no longer need it.

My mother and sister are moving to Asia, and so I'll be staying with one of my other siblings until I finish my last year of college and also get a job and enough money to move into an apartment. These next few months are going to be stressful as hell, but I'm hoping writing stories will help me feel better, even if people hardly read them anymore. :twilightsmile:

I plan on finishing and uploading the epilogue chapter of I Waited today. It's not meant to be super special, just something to finish the story off. I do also plan on doing one sequel and do at least ten chapters. I won't even publish it in short bursts; when it comes out, you'll get the whole thing. Saves me time and personal dominant frustration - or whatever that's supposed to mean.

The same thing will apply for After. When the final act is finished, the whole thing will be released and the story will be marked as complete, but that's after the retcon is finished - which I couldn't do since we didn't have internet.

I've been writing for other stories like Along The Dreary Road and such on my phone, so it's been incredibly slow. Hell, I wrote 95% of I Waited on my phone at school.

I've also been considering creating some kind of system for existing stories, to determine whether or not to continue them. If a story has below 20-30 likes, below 200 views, and these scores don't increase after a total of five chapters have been released, then it is more or less a dead story and will be cancelled. This isn't a way of spiting people who still read the story, and I am not trying to sound pissy over stuff; to be honest, I have way too many stories that are either unpublished or have not been updated in years. I've got at least thirty stories I need to handle, and I really want to severely cut that down so I don't drive myself crazy.

Plus, it would probably curb my depression a smidgen. :derpytongue2:

One other thing I plan to do is republish a story I wrote called "Divide." At first, I thought people downvoted it to oblivion because it was poorly written or just generally garbage in more ways than one. Nope. I realized I published it the day after the Parkland shooting, and everyone criticized me because of my poor timing. I believe I even got one PM telling me I made the story just to capitalize on the tragedy. Only I didn't, because I started writing the story way back in March 2017 and let it hang for almost a year. So I will republish that and let everyone decide what they think of it; I wasn't trying to capitalize on anything. I just wanted to write a story, and all I did was publish it in the right place at the very wrong time.

I always get hesitant making these blogs because I end up treating them like something a teenager would write on her Facebook wall after a boring day at school, at least that's how I used to treat it, considering I was fourteen when I joined this site.

So I'm not dead, I plan on continuing stories, and I also plan on cancelling stories too. Saves me time and energy from continuing stories that either nobody reads anymore, or from writing/continuing stories that everyone thinks is awful.

I just started finished Regret and started After. Still on Act 1 Chapter 1 cuz I like to read it at times where the emotions will come to me properly. I plan on reading all your stories. I know it sounds like I am crazy, but I like reading, so I still will read them all, no matter how many there are. :raritywink:

You say you have depression?I
