    IN WHICH HAPPY BOXING DAY!
    I meant to post while it was still Christmas (CST) but as usual I’m late. I hope my few remaining readers had a lovely holiday! Here’s a song that’s been in my head lately.

    Chuu is one of those who, according to her coworkers, really is just a ball of sunshine. Follow me past the jump.

    IN WHICH I LACK BURRITOS
    No, really. I haven’t been by my local burrito place in a long time, partly due to my mother, so I haven’t been able to get good inspiration for another Burritoverse story. Sorry. For now, enjoy my favorite J-Pop group NiziU.

    IN WHICH SCREW DEADLINES
    Hey, y’all. Been a few months. Whoever reads this, just wanted to show I’m not dead yet. Do you know NMIXX? You should.

    Right. Now, where was I? Oh, I’m sure I’ll figure it out below the jump.

    IN WHICH I LIED TO YOU (SORRY)
    So… Turns out it's been a full year (!) since my last story. I promised a couple stories in between but failed to finish them. But at least I got my annual Mayor Mare story in. Have some Twice as penance.

    More past the jump, if you're willing.

    IN WHICH I LIVE… SORT OF
    Hi. Been awhile. Not sure who's left to read this. I just now realized I accidentally added an "L" on my last 3 posts. Oops. Well, enjoy Sir Elton.

    So, after fixing my screw-up, let's get to the meat of why I'm writing, if you'll pass the jump with me.

IN WHICH I HAVE A CRISIS OF CONFIDENCE
As there are highs, so must there be lows. No music video tonight. Just this.

That is a screenshot taken Wednesday of my Gdocs page showing almost every story on my plate. Spoilers ahead maybe.


So what IS all that crap? Well, from left to right, top to bottom, I have…

  1. The story I wrote on the 4th about Orangeglow visiting Ponyville (COMPLETED)
  2. A one-shot where Sunset Shimmer attends a therapy session (COMPLETED)
  3. My rewrite of Anon-A-Miss (COMPLETED)
  4. My 30k+-word historical adventure story (COMPLETED)
  5. Sonata's second Burritoverse story (INCOMPLETE)
  6. A Slice-Of-Life where EQG Rarity & AJ have a heart-to-heart (INCOMPLETE)
  7. A shipfic (COMPLETED but needs much editing)
  8. Octavia's Burritoverse story (INCOMPLETE)
  9. Recovery for some reason (BEEN PUBLISHED; READERS HATED IT)
  10. The first part of my Pinkamena fic (COMPLETED but needs rewriting)

    ~Missing from that screenshot:~

  11. The story where I finally start exploring EQG Apple Bloom (INCOMPLETE)
  12. My list of what Sunset names her personal items
  13. The unfinished outline of what I hope to be my fanfic magnum opus… if I get to write it

The reason none of these have been published, even the completed stories, is because of a block on my end. Some of the stories aren't up to my personal standards. Some I feel could use a second pair of eyes maybe. And of course my brain wants to do things in a certain order and is willing to hold everything else back to do it. In this case, it's finishing Sonata's Burritoverse story. But I simply haven't had the drive to continue it since writing her internal monologue a couple days ago.

Why you poor schmucks my wonderful loyal followers stick with me, I still have no clue.

So… yeah. I could try writing again, but my heart isn't in it tonight, thus chances are anything I type that actually requires care and effort on my part will be crap. These blogposts do not require much effort.

Two Hundred Eighty-nine (not factoring out 31 Author Notes) word-barfs about nothing.

Peace out!

I am having a crisis of confidence like all the time. Also I'm shooting you a message.
