I write about small pastel-colored ponies and do bad things to them. Ask me about anything, I love talking about my stories even more than writing them.

    Progress Report

    For those wondering ever since my previous and somewhat ominous post, yes, I have been writing again. Progress is moving along, although unlike when I was in my prime, I have less time to do it each day when I can. The next chapter will be released when it is ready, but also not before I go back and do some minor - MINOR - edits to previous chapters of Pinked. There are certain things I want to

    The Brainwashing of My Father

    My name is Zanzil. I am a Changeling. This is as much my story as it is the story of my father, a proud member of the Changeling race, and a hero of Equestria. His name was Dorsa, and he was bigger than life itself. Even now, I can remember him looking down upon me as a mere spawn and smiling as he told me about my people and our history.

    Frazzled

    I can't lie, and while I feel bad about it, my new position at work has me completely overworked and frazzled. I can't do anything but get a breather on breaks, and after work each day I just don't want to do anything. On the weekend, I do have things I do, but it's just very... brain off.

    I really hope I can get back into where I was after EFNW just before I took the new position.

    Trying hard to write, write, write

    I am trying hard to write through the last of Book 6. I hadn't forgotten, but I had been going through a lot in my personal life. The death of a friend, financial troubles, and a budding relationship that has now seemingly crashed and burned have kept me in a slump for a long time.

Trying hard to write, write, write · 11:00pm Jun 26th, 2018

I am trying hard to write through the last of Book 6. I hadn't forgotten, but I had been going through a lot in my personal life. The death of a friend, financial troubles, and a budding relationship that has now seemingly crashed and burned have kept me in a slump for a long time.

I feel like my brain is locked up. I have such interest in creating the story, but it feels like I don't have any juice to do it. It's like the part of my brain that can create the dialogue and situations for the story is cramped up or stuck. I have to write about Maud talking about Pinkie's problems. I have to bring two groups of characters together and have them journey to where the book will end. I have to write a couple big fight scenes, and I have to create a motivation for one side character to do a certain thing. I've had all this planned and written out in large part since around October, maybe earlier than that, but I just have such trouble getting my brain to go go go.

I am two days out now from who I thought was the love of my life telling me that she thinks we may need to cut things off permanently. Maybe I am just too low to create right now. I just thought maybe finally buckling down at doing it would raise my spirits, but I can't seem to focus... not that that's anything new for the last nearly two years.

I’m sorry you’re struggling to write and in life. Maybe work on a lighter, sillier project and see if that helps get the juices flowing?

Maybe I'll give that a try. Hopefully I can think of something happy instead of writing a story about a stallion who just got dumped.

Damn, that is some major emotional trauma!

I understand a lot of what you’re going through.
If writing is your preferred medium in general; write a one shot of how you’re feeling, use your own character. It doesn’t matter if you never publish it, just let your feelings flow out. Reenact the breakup and have your character say all the things you wanted to say as an example. No outline, just start writing it out. It might help just to get it down on “paper” and out of your head.

I hope things start looking up for you.

Wow, I forgot it had been that long....

Yeah, just relax and do whatever you need to right now, don’t force anything.

I know all too well how that feels. Best of luck to you
